A little late but I went, as well. It was OK. I had never been to the show before so I wanted to go. It was a bit crowded. At times it was hard to get through the isles. There was all the stuff you would expect to see at a motorcycle show.

As others mentioned, everything is a bit pricey. Watered-Down Pepsi--$5 , $8 Hamburger etc..As long as you go there to look at stuff and not buy stuff, it is pretty cheap entertainment and a good way to spend a cold afternoon in Junuary.

 

I bought tickets online and saved $4 on each adult ticket (3). Lots of vendors for leather, t-shirts this year. Not so many for things I was looking for like highway pegs and wheels. You might be able to find the discount. I kept getting the offer by email.

 

Went to the show today. Complete waste of time for someone who actually cares about the ins and outs of motor vehicles compare to those who prefer to boast an image or have no idea what they are talking about. Saw everything from crowds of guys convinced that this is the best looking Harley out there while staring at a Suzuki boulevard to guys wearing cuts while in dockers and loafers. Some of te custom bikes were very nice especially the old number 7 bike and a stripped bobber from a local shop and also some old suicide shift Indians. But 90% of the show was fake leather vendors selling at regular prices and people just thumping their chests to others trying to show that they know all. Not trying to be too much of a downer and I knew it would be like that, just sucks to see a show where those who actually know anything about what they are looking at is the minority.

 

Sounds like this was your first time attending this show.
