     Awesome! 

Did Triumph attend this year?

you cannot be trusted with a camera.   

and yes, racing them would be fun but not for 9k they want for those things.

Triumph had  a big area. I didn't see much past the 675R.  Need to wait for the MV675 too come out first before I decide. No MVs there today.

After looking at that pic I'm going back on a diet  .  Personally I like the Honda PCX better.  Less power but more nimble.

Yeah, you just THOUGHT it was your Honda's fault for feeling "top heavy". Maybe it is what is sitting on top that makes it feel that way!!

I'll be heading down there for a walk through in a couple of hours.

Well you both better hope I don't drop a few pounds.  I'd hate to go from on your tail to flying by both of you with only an 800cc bike.

I am the last person who should bring up the subject of weight.

I just put a 100nm shock spring on the Multi and now I have to re-spring the forks to fix the
increased front-end dive and shortened trail. 

Scooter jockeys probably don't lose any sleep over such things.

For the first time in several years I actually wanted to go to the show. Used to go every year. Liked it better when it was in Ft. Worth. Better parking situation and you can hit Joe T. Garcia's afterwards for tex-mex! Good rainy weekend to go but I got hung up at home with a clogged sewer pipe and a home flooded with sewer water. I'm vicariously enjoying the show via your posts. Keep it up.

You never will.

It may have been bigger in previous years, but is still a great place to swing a leg over the latest iron.  Only BMW had zero representation, and the big 3 Japanese  had good displays.  The Yamaha champions riding school had Scott Russell, Nick Ienatsch(sp) and some other instructor giving a track basics seminar to a full crowd.  As we walked by they were talking about adding braking distance each time you add more throttle (or hop on a faster bike between sessions).

Jeez, no BMW? WTF?
