I might be going. Is it only custom bikes or do they have companies showing off their stock bikes as well?

I want to go, but we'll see where I am in a week or two. I went a few years back and it was packed.
All the dealers, customs, sales reps, clothing, and etc. are there. Its a great time but there is a lot to see and some deals.

I think there are a few local custom builders and parts guys like J&P that will be there.

I'll probably be there. If I recall correctly, there weren't any normal bikes displayed, like 2006 HD's stock. There were a lot of customs, and even a couple I liked. I really enjoyed looking at the stock WWII WJA. There were tons of aftermarket parts and other good junk.

I had a really nice time.

Can you buy tickets at the door? Or do you have to get them from one of the outlets? Website is confusing.

If you bring money....you will get in the door, I can pretty much promise that!

Might be going but not sure which day. A gal I work out with at the gym is dancing there 4 or 5 times per day with her dance troup--'The Brew City Babes.' There are seven dancers altogether (very hot) and my friend's name is Maranda. If you get a chance, check them out and tell her that Rob from the gym sent you. They will have calendars for sale as well as pictures of them modeling that can also be purchased...if you're in to that sort of thing.

I went last year and all of the major manufacturers were there: Harley, Victory, Triumph, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki, Buell, etc. It was nice because I was able to sit on several brands and models of bikes without going from dealer to dealer.

There were also some customs and lots of accessories too. I bought a battery-tender and the gal I was with at the time got some clothes.

Solo,

Lets check back a day or two before and if you go lets see if we can hook up there. Anyone else interested, lets try and set up a meet and greet.
