Long Beach International Motorcycle Show (IMS)

Got to the Long Beach IMS tonight a little late due to some issues with the bike and then traffic, but it was great to be here.

First, lots of my CMA brothers and sisters were here, and it's always good to see folks from the non-San Diego chapters.  I'm sure I'll see many more of them tomorrow as well.

Since it was fairly slow at both the gear check and our booth, so I got to walk around the show.  Lots of manufacturers-all the major makes and some smaller ones like Hyosung and the electric bike company.  There were also some vintage bike displays-both domestic and the Japanese vintage bike group.  A few celebrities tonight with many more tomorrow.  There were also many vendors-some multi-accessory shops but also some specific booths like custom ear pieces and lots of helmet and glove vendors.

Overall about as big as the show has been in the past few years.  The show reached it's smallest I've ever seen it about 4 years ago and has steadily grown back to almost the full hall, but not quite there.

If you can make it this weekend, I'd encourage you to come out-the show runs through December 8th here in Long Beach and then moves to other shows early in 2014.
