Default Long Beach, CA International Motorcycle Show

Long Beach Int'l Motorcycle Show Pics

Bought the 3-day pass online for $20 and popped over after work. It was pretty nice...not too many folks around so there wasn't a line if you wanted to sit on a particular bike (shades of the Ducati 1098 area last year).

Today's main celebrity guests were the Bostrom brothers and Colin Edwards. Had a guy over at Suzuki (his name escapes me at the moment), and of course Jason Britton was on hand by the Ducati static display (just in the general area, not representing Ducati). Lots of custom bikes (my kryptonite) and a very large selection of mopeds.

Anyway, I'll probably drop by tomorrow to see what was under that Suzuki sheet (mystery bike to be unveilled ??) and check out the Ducs inside the Ducati walled-in area.[/align][/align]If your weekend is pretty much shot because of the weather, why not spend a few quality hours indoors Well worth the $11 single-day admission/$8 parking.

Went back yesterday for more pics, and to see the unveiling of the new'08 'Busa.Very nice looking. Reminded me of "Tron" (yes, I'm old...).







Here's the builder....



And he built this bike too....



And the clothing designer for the LRG line...



You can read about it here....




Stunt show with Jason Britton was good, but I really think they needed more room to get up stunting speed. Other than that, nice show.



Sick looking choppers in the Arena...





And I managed to capture a rainbow



Yep, yesterday was a good day
