There are two major shows in California only two weeks apart, with the Seattle show in the middle.
Apparently it costs a few million for BMW to transport & set-up each time, so they decided to skip the Seattle show. Husky, well they are the bastard red-headed child these days...
I found the Seattle show to be something of a disappointment.
Clearly there is a recession going on in the US!.
Very few vendors. Decent displays from the jap & american manufacturers as well as Duc / KTM. No sign of BMW or Triumph etc. Excellent 'trials / stunt' show.
Still, it was nice to get out on an icy day in December with friends & focus on 2-wheeled sports.
