Long Biiiatch Bike Show Dec 8th (Saturday)

Whelp, I came, I went, I saw. I know that somebody is gonna come on after me and write that the Long Beach show sucked donkey balls, however, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I thought it was a very good show. The gf enjoyed it as well, and she isn't all that into bikes, however, she is curious. I will post some more of the same boring ass pictures for the 10th tenth time so that I can spoil the show for anyone that hasn't hit a show in their town yet this year! Get ready for an ASS-TON of pics!

What time were you there on Saturday? We were there from about 10:00am to 1:00PM. Both bike parking lots were pretty packed when we left.

You make a nice looking couple Jason and thanks for sharing the pics.
George
P.S. Any bike you saw that you would consider as a worthy replacement for your VFR? Don't say all of 'em.

Thanks George, she is a cute girl, and her rates are low...

That is a tough question....hmmmm....if you are speaking more of a streetbike (non dual sport), then I have been looking at that Super Duke pretty closely, and also some of those beemers.... like the k1200S, and that new S2 sportbike....however, for some reason, those GS's have been growing on me as well....either I might take one of those, or a KTM 950 super enduro like my brother has. Anything catch your eye?

BTW, that damn B-king feels as wide as a tank....and it just looks hideous to me...

Likely as yourself, I have pretty eclectic taste in motorcycles...I like them all from choppers to sport bikes.
Tough call as you say. I am old so I like Beemers a bit. Have to give props to Duc's as the Italians have such a flair for design...but at a cost and why we like Hondas.
Its all good.
George

Next time less pics of derstuka on bikes and more of the gf on bikes and in various states of undress. (jk on the last part).


Thanks for the pics. Do you know what that white thing is in the rad section on the right side pic of the 1125? Surely it's not the coolant overflow bottle.

I'll tell her to dress more provocative next time! haha! I tried to get her in more pics, but she is too scared to get on most bikes for fear of dropping them. I had to force her on the b-king just about!

I believe that is the windshield washer fluid reservior....err....no, I mean overflow tank...at least what it looked like to me at the show.

I take it you didn't make the trip down south Reg-man? Yeah, local customs....some are just 100% for show as I cannot see them functioning any other way.

We were there from about 9.30 until 12.. 12:30 not really sure. I took the Civic as you can see my doughter sitting behind me in thne firts picture an lovely on the second. she was comparing the goldwing and her Piaggio 150 scooter......

Now the new ST1300 color is just beautiful next to my dark red 2007 VFR would look beautiful, nicely color coordinated.
