Vancouver Motorcycle Show

[rickyboy]

Well finally,....the show came to town.

I went a couple of times this year. I'm the kind of guy that wants to talk to people and look at almost every booth there.
I spent most of the opening day looking for replacements for my leather jacket, chaps, and helmet. The insurance Co. has given me a fair approx. amount to replace these items.
I got a "scream'in deal" on a hard, as apposed to foam, armored, leather jacket. I was also fitted for a new pair of leather chaps {at "Stan The Leather Man" hammer}.
Fitting a helmet was, and has always been a huge task for me.
#1. I've got a ....rather large head
#2. My freak'in head isn't "round" " they" say. And No! I'm not of German decent. So no jokes there.
So I haven't managed to find a helmet yet. I need to find a dealer in town who deals with Z1R helmets. They seem to fit me the best.

On the second day I went {Sat.}
I had the pleasure of running into Elvis there and chatted with him for a few minutes. Nice to see you E.

I also spoke with Chris Pearson the Canadian rep for Kawai. and dropped off a bunch of KawaNOW cards that he gladly displayed on their counter. The two of us are also going to be in touch and make it so all Kawaski dealers that sell either a Nomad, Vaquero, or Voyager, will be suggesting to the new owner to visit the KawaNOW site. He said he might like to make the trip to Maggie Valley., too. But who knows.

I spent more time at booths discussing things like proposed laws, products, etc.. I enjoyed taking my time throwing my leg over a few different bikes. But I think I found myself back at the Kawasaki section a few times ogling the new Nomad and of course the Voyager.

All in all a good time. I hope you all made to the show in your area.
Ciao for now
