was kind of boring and disjointed. ride tents way out by the road. Most everyone sitting around except aprilia. No stunt riding or trials events. only half of the on the floor cardinal stadium was being used. the other half they had cranes working on setting up another event. smaller tents around the concourse, tired displays. very spread out and disjointed. Plus areas. Bub was there with his speedliner Ducati booth, very nice, with new bikes. BMW there with their new twins and singles. very nice. Parking was free. Should have been free. laguna is better than the International motorcycle show. The best part of the day was going over to Cabelas sporting good and hunting store next door. and the free redbull at the buell trailer. Too bad. REX | ||

I've never been real excited at the show here in Denver. IMO, It's kinda like paying $11 to see stuff you could see at a dealership for free. | ||

I, too, found the Phoenix show disappointing in some respects. I did find what I was looking for, in that respect it was good to me. What I found at the Buell tent was a lot of bikes and very little enthusiasm from the people working the booth. Folks were looking at the bikes and no one even approaching to ask them if they had any questions. I visited the Buell exhibit about 2 PM maybe there was life earlier or later. The Ducati exhibit was first class, BMW good, factory people everywhere helping, I missed the Moto Guzzi display, I don't know how or why. Like REX said the Cabela's store is nearby, I went there but couldn't see anything - It was all camoflouged! A bad attempt at a joke! | ||

And $12 for adult admission. Weather in Arizona is perfect right now, I saved the $12, filled my tank and went riding instead. | ||

All of the RideNow dealers were selling tickets for $6.00. For $6.00 the show was OK, but if I paid $12 I probably would have been disappointed. I also wanted to see the new stadium, without having to pay money to see the Cardinals lose, I mean play (no, I mean lose). I would like to have seen more gear and accessories dealers. We have a lot of great riding and great weather in AZ, too bad we don't have better motorcycle events here. |
