International Motorcycle Show in Greenville SC, anyone else going?

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!)

and where was that when I needed it?

Will do! This is my Christmas present to my hubby so hopefully we will have a good time. It is not till feb though so there may be some before I can get there.

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?

Off to the show! Pics when we get back...

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.

Some ninjette-related pics:

And some non-ninjette-related pics...

Here's the front end of the new Ninja 650R:

Here's one of the 450 single conversions:

and more info about them:

One of Rossi's machines in the Yamaha area (or at least a darned good replica):

New VMAX in all carbon fiber:

Front end of the new R1; I thought it looked much better in person than I had expected from the photos:

The new Ducati Streetfighter S:

All pics are up in this gallery.

Really nice pictures. Thanks.

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.

Any more photos of the '09 650R?
