Is anyone out there planning to attend the motorcycle show at the Minneapolis Convention Center this weekend? | ||
| Uly_dude |
I'm hoping to on Sat. Not sure what time though. Sorry I can't be more specific. I'm flying into town on Friday and not sure what'll be in store for me. What date/time are you going? | ||

if you buy your tickets online and use promo code "SAVE5", you can get in for $10: https://v2.interactiveticketing.com/tickets/t281_i ntl_motorcycle_show_minneapolis_101015272a/form_pu rchase.php?promo=SAVE5&step=intro also, if you don't want to walk outside or pay for parking, park at Mall of America and take the light rail to the Convention Center. It's only a couple $$ to take it. | ||

Will be there Sat 10:00AM | ||

I'm going to be there at open on Friday. Anyone else on Friday? I'm going to post in the MN section too. Andy, where the hell were you on Saturday???? My discount code was only good for $11.25, still had to pay their friggin $3 service fee. Jeez, for the $3.75 I would have saved, I could have bought 1/2 a beer! Brad | ||

Just bought tickets online (thanks for the link Andy!) and there is a picture of a tuber on the tickets. Cool! | ||
| Charlie_zulu |
Someone please post some pics after the event,, | ||
| Ronmold |
Could we all meet somewhere on Sat, maybe at the Buell booth? ...oh wait,  How about by the Victory Vision at 12 PM? | ||
| Uly_dude |
Sounds like a great plan Ron. Thanks for putting a stake in the ground. I'll shoot for that if I can. And I even know what you look like! | ||
| Andymnelson |
Haha Brad- I'll being an extra 1/2 beer with me when we mount up my tires  Jon- glad someone got use out of the link! We MIGHT make it. We have a class to go to in St Paul at 1:00, and my wife is not feeling well today...so we'll see. If we do, it will be in the morning, and we will likely leave right after meeting up with everyone at noon! | ||
| Andymnelson |
Also Jon- you really should remove my bike from your profile and put a pic of yours.  | ||
| Motorbike |
I would like to meet you guys too. Maybe I can get a group picture of all of us standing by the Harley display?  I'll try to remember to bring my camera and meet you guys at noon at the Victory Vision. | ||
| Ronmold |
We could all gather in front of this poster at the Harley booth but I don't think it will be up!   | ||
| Uly_dude |
Hey was I confused, or did I NOT see the harley booth(with the bikes) there? Nice meeting you Al and Jon. Great seeing you again to Ron. A couple more months and we'll thaw out up here! Greg | ||

It was over to the right, behind and to the right of the BMW and Moto Guzzis. There was a lady doing the pick up a tipped over bike demonstration. It was great to meet the three of you as well. | ||
| Motorbike |
I enjoyed meeting you guys also. It would be great if we could all get together for a ride this summer but I realize that that may be next to impossible to plan. Take care guys. | ||
| Andymnelson |
Bummer we couldn't make it. How was the show? | ||
| Motorbike |
Andy, we were looking for you but we all knew your wife was not feeling well also. I hope she gets well soon. The show was pretty much the same as in the past although I did notice that a couple of vendors I spoke to last year were not there this year. Bob's Cycle Supply did not have a booth and the guy that I bought my mini compressor and tire plug kit from last year did not show up either. I really do miss the Buell display though as I remember sitting on a red 2008 XT, just like the one I have now, a couple years ago at that show. Hopefully we can meet another time, maybe this summer. Take care. | ||
| Andymnelson |
Yes, I first sat on a Uly at that show as well I already owned an XB9S and an X1, but knew as soon as I sat that I must have one! I see you are from Byron- I have a grandmother in rochester that I really ought to visit more often. Perhaps this summer we'll ride down and meet up with some of you southernly folk- there's a few good Buellers down your way | ||

Not sure about the "good" part but the "few" is correct! | ||
| Ronmold |
Our group in front of the Victory Vision Tour (OK, so there's other Vision models now)! L to R: Ron Ronmold, Jon 12x9sl (I believe), Greg Uly_Dude, Al Motorbike. Not much to take pictures of but I had to get this chopper w/ a 30" rim! One highlight, I got my custom-molded earphones made, no more falling out in the middle of a ride and finally I can here some bass! (Mmm, that's terrific bass SNL)   | ||
| Uly_dude |
That chopper sure looks cool Ron. Not sure about my picture though. Looks like I'm about to sneeze! Thanks for posting. Aaachoo. | ||
| Ronmold |
There is that better?  | ||
| Uly_dude |
lol. Now Jon looks asleep! And I'm scowling. I think that pre flash had me all faked out. Or maybe it's not possible for me to take a good picture anymore. Too old. But thanks again! | ||

Those choppers with the "Big Wheel" front ends were hideous! Easily the ugliest Choppa I've ever seen. Can you imagine trying to ride one? The turn in must be something to behold.. Here's a shot of the "Monster" bike, guess it got thirsty...  Here's the highlight of the show. Did you guys see his booth? If not, SHAME ON YOU!!! One of the BEST motoflicks of all time....  | ||
| Bluzm2 |
This might be my next bike.... I need a bigger garage though.  | ||

Great pics guys. Couldn't make it this year. |
