Default Motorcycle Shows

Has anyone ever gone to the Motorcycle Show at the Eastern States Expo in West Sprinfield Mass? Just wondering if it was worth going to, maybe get a little mid winter fix!

Never been to that one but personally I find all the shows the same...lots of new bikes that you can see any day at any dealership, plus a few wild super expensive customs.
I'd like to see them include a show & shine type section for real owners showing real bikes that they have customized themselves, but I guess the dealers and manufacturers don't want that because that's where all the customers would spend all their time.

It's a pretty good show. 2 large buildings of bikes and accessories. There is an indoor car swap meet there the same weekend so it can fill your day. Unfortunately, it is the same weekend as the International show at the Javitts center this year.

I did see that and I'm sure the NY show is the one to go to, but not sure if I want to drag my butt to NY city

I have but only if it's 5 bucks or less to get in the door. Most of the time you will have seen the same bikes in mag's

Never been to one. I have been to plenty of business and software expos and events for my job though.

I am heading to D.C. For the international motorcycle expo on Saturday, Jan 15. Bought the tickets for the wife and I through HOG and saved $4 per.

I like motorcycle shows if the price isn't too high. I'd be at the Long Beach show today if it wasn't raining. I like taking the new bikes on test rides.

I go to the IMS show every year to see the new bikes and vendors. Beats sitting home in the winter.
