Thinking about coming up for this show, though I'm an utter n00b at dual-sporting and just discovered this forum recently.

Maybe there's some way in which I could still help, e.g., toting barges and lifting bales, printing out flyers or pics?

I'd probably be coming up Saturday morning and staying all day. I'm interested in seeing how the BC show differs from the Seattle show (which is in a couple weeks). Maybe some models we can't get down here...isn't the Yamaha Tenere available up there?

Hope to meet more of you soon,

Don

I can't remember seeing any Teneres here. The web info comes from Europe only.

I'm planning to go to the Abbotsford show on Friday. Usually, our local RAT packs have a brekkie meet on Saturday morning early enough to get at the show by 10:00. Any chance you can get there? Somewhere near the airport where the show is held. I can pass on directions once the location is set.

Now that we have Christmas and New Years done with, its time to think about motorcycles

Some of you went to the Seatle Show in December and found in a little lacking, but if you look at all the things going on at this years Vancouver Show it seems it will be the biggest yet.

check out the events including the endurocross which DSBC ins invovled in

I heard that the Seattle show was kinda boring.

The exhibitor list for Abbotsford looks pretty cool:

I'm really jazzed about attending...

Whats the weather like out there in the valley? I'm thinking of riding out there from east van Friday morning prior to my date with the booth at noon. Its been socked in fog here until about noon and I'm wondering if any of that breaks up as you get out into the valley.

:dr:Thanks to our awesome helpers the DSBC booth is all set up and ready for the weekend.

Many thanks to Mike at Pacific BMW for lending us aBMW G450X and gear for the weekend :clap:















The DualSportBC booth is located in the Exhibitors tent right across from the Yamaha Kidz Riding area.

For those members volunteering this weekend WEAR WARM CLOTHS. Also, leave all valuables at home. There really is no where in the booth to leave bags or personal items.

The set up of the EnduroCross track today was amazing. Everyone worked REALLY hard and did a SPECTACULAR job. I will post photos but not tonight. You will have to come out to the Motorcycle Show and witness the spectacle first hand. Seasoned riders/moto-x racerswho tested the course said it was challenging.
