I went to "bikemania" today with 400 big ones to by a leather jacket and boy was i disappointed,not only did i not get my jacket because no one was selling them but i didn't see one sports bike display in the place.
I had never been to one of these shindigs before but i expected to see all the major bike companies in all their glory but as it turned out i was extremely let down.
Next year i'm gonna give my missus $20 to buy clothes and get her to kick me in the nuts and presto same way i feel about "bikemania"
p.s got a good deal on a AGV 1.4mm leather ($369)on the way home from a lovely lady at team moto so its not all bad.

well I'm glad to hear that as I was invited by a friend "cruser rider" and didn't want to go because I doubted there would be anything of interest for me there. He went off though with a pocket full of money to get gloves and pants.

Joe Rocket have a booth all to themselves. Heaps of jackets n gloves there.
And there's also the Hit-Air jacket which is bloody overpriced.
Surprise to see many booth selling communications setups and ear-moulds
Good: Indoor, especially good for this kind of hot weather.
Bad: Too bloody expensive. Not that many chicks...
Luckily I got in for free as an exhibitor. I wouldn't pay $18 for that kind of setup.

There was one sportsbike display (OSB) up the top but I think it was the only one! But overall it was disapointing...

the Trials and MotoX displays were very entertaining
The rest of the show sucked. Was good to see the 06 R6 in the flesh though. I also entered a competition to win free track days for a year at the Champions Ride Days stand.
Definitely not worth the money I spent getting myself and the girlfriend in though.

I went to that F##king thing as well. Four hour trip from Bundy ( and not even on the bike) just to see a heap of over cromed iron pigs. The one redeeming bike being "Judge" the street fightered ZX9, but I'm a bit biased on that model of course. Good to see a few street bikes outside though.
