THis is the weekend of the Vancouver Motorcycle Show at Tradex in Abbotsford.

Each year I look forward to seeing what’s new, how much chrome you can hang on a custom chopper and how crazy the trikes will look at the show.  There is always something new and exciting and of course the newest models of bikes from all the local dealers.

This year is no different;  The layout has changed a little, but the chrome, leather and chaps are all there.   Plenty of dealers have brought all the latest models to show.  Plenty of new paint is on display, and of course MILES of chrome for everyone.  Just walking around the show is an adventure in people watching as always.  When you put this many motorcycle enthusiasts in one building you are bound to see some sights.  Which is one of the more entertaining parts of the show for me each year.

The standard folks are here again this year, along with a few new faces.  The show has become a bit jaded since Vancouver is not the largest market in the world, but I still find it fun and enjoyable.  Each year I go and find some gem in all the noise and hustling going on.  I visited on Thursday night to get a ’sneak peak’ at the offerings and I’ll be back again on the weekend.  You can pick up a single day ticket for 12 bucks and a full 4 day pass for 26 bucks, so not a bad deal for an afternoon of entertainment.  Parking costs 5 bucks (cash) and can be a bit tricky if you arrive during the peak times, but they have shuttle buses running so you don’t have to hike in from the boonies to enjoy yourself.

Hope you all have some time this weekend to enjoy the chrome, come on out and dream a little and sit on as many bikes as you like!  Have Fun !
