Not going to the one in Greenville, but will definitely hit the IMS when it's closer to our neck of the woods late December in the bay area.

are you?? If so, could you please take lots of pics of bikes you think we would enjoy seeing? It's kind of a long day trip for me and they won't unlock my wheelchair at the home. (some nonsense about me pulling wheelies down the hallways!) :mad:

Annie and I are planning to hit this show tomorrow in San Mateo, CA. Part of me wonders why people can charge admission to see bikes that we can see for free at the dealership the next day, but the part of me that eventually wins the argument really likes seeing *all* of those bikes in one huge place at one time. And we can find some deals on accessories every once in awhile... Anyone else in the bay area going this weekend?

Fun day! Met up with some friends there, and got to walk around pretty much the entire show. Some surprises; BMW, Harley, Aprilia, and Triumph weren't there this year. :idunno:

Some ninjette-related pics:

I was there today, only snapped one picture.

Spotted this blue '09 250 as I was leaving. I've been wondering how different the blue paint is on the '09s--turns out not much, though the new bikes are darker.

I think side by side they look quite a bit different. I would call the '08 a bright blue while the '09 is just more or a regular blue.
