I'm still deciding between my Ducati Monster T-shirt with the DML logo on the back or my Triumph T-shirt that I was given for taking a test ride on a Rocket III. 

How was that rocket III Scott? It's 1 big son of a gun.  Seems like a cross between a hd and one of those v-8 bikes, forgot the brand. I also would like to ride the new sporty but think it's gonna be hard to get  a ride,that's  if they are gonna offer 1 at all.

The Rocket III was a lot nicer than I expected.  Totally smooth and torque like you can't believe.  Once you're moving you can just leave it in 5th gear and still get strong acceleration.  The biggest thing I didn't like about it was the cruiser riding position.  Feet a little too far forward and torso a bit too upright.  It would be an excellent big bike to ride at a relaxed pace.

Heading down Sat a.m., likely there when doors open at 9:30

Swingin' Door sounds good for lunch!

FYI - if you buy tix online, use promo code "1114002" you can get tix for $9 & print them up ahead of show (vs. $13 at the door)

Anyone leaving from the Fremont Area that I can either cage over with or ride pregnant dog with 

Now that I've met some of you, I'll know who to look for. See ya Sat!

So how was the show?

I'm stuck in LA.

stay in la la land ... the show was ho-hum at best.

This was my first IMS and losing virginity wasn't too painful. But I went in with little expectations of climaxing, so when it didn't happen I wasn't too disappointed.

Got to try out the Motard tho'! Nice ride!

Bleh

Thw show was a HUGE disappointment for me. Am I going crazy or the show last year was so much better =(

I agree, I think that the show was a bit dissapointing compared to years passed.

This was also my first time going to IMS. I think I got too caught up in the social aspects of trying to coordinate people... Have. To. Stop. Being. Cruise Director.
I mostly just saw Mattb's and Pierre's legs since I was on my BB the whole time...
I really liked sitting on the Aprilia RSV 1000 (in white needless to say...)...wish they had test rides for this one... but I'm still in love with the 1098s...

so francis, can we expect to see you on a hypertard soon?
