Sat

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)

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.

Bleh

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

[ptam]

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...
