Post by: ROBsS4R on November 20, 2009, 10:41:57 PM I am going Sunday. I will be caging it though. My S4R is having trouble starting to the point I am going through Batteries. I need to get it to Nichols somehow after I get back from my Japan trip. Looks like its going to be a crappy dealer showing again his year. According to the online website no Mv Agusta, Aprillia , Triumph or Moto Guzzi =( Those were the main ones I was interesting in seeing Title: Re: Bike Show San Mateo...anyone going? Post by: Michael Moore on November 21, 2009, 07:02:48 PM Is it just me, or was the show smaller and much less interesting this year?
I was disappointed to not see the new Ducati bikes, and it seemed like a lot of other vendors were MIA. Title: Re: Bike Show San Mateo...anyone going? Post by: Itsasickness on November 22, 2009, 05:42:41 AM It wasn't you, it was disappointing not to see the new Ducs, especially the Anteater, but good times nonetheless. The 1198's were gorgeous and that Super Duke was mean. Almost forgot, and everyone got to meet Tigre in person, his bike looked great!!!

He had me thrown out of the show when he was showing me all the trick new bits on his bike and I asked if they installed anything to keep him from crashing so much. :P Title: Re: Bike Show San Mateo...anyone going? Post by: Michael Moore on November 22, 2009, 07:23:36 AM Yeah, that DoubleDong exhaust looked pretty cool.

All the vendors displaying 20% to 70% off pisses me off to only see its still higher than you can get it at most places outside of the show. The Ducati booth this year was bleh... Doesn't matter though... My replacement for the S4R next year prob wont be another ducati.... whohahahaha ;D Title: Re: Bike Show San Mateo...anyone going?
