Member Contributer ddr Posted November 17, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted November 17, 2010 I'd join you for lunch on Saturday if you put something together. Just let me know when you'd like to get together and how to find you. Thanks!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cageless-in-Seattle Posted November 18, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted November 18, 2010 I plan to attend the Saturday show. Just give a time to meet at the Honda display or at the Pyramid Brewery. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squamishvfr Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 A little logistical question: If I take the train from Vancouver Can to Seattle Wa, does it put me anywhere near where the show would be held or do I need to rent a car, making the train ride pointless? Many thanks Mike Sz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Mike Sz I believe the Train Station is in the same parking lot as Qwest Field. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=King+Street+Station,+Seattle,+WA&daddr=Occidental+Ave+S&hl=en&geocode=FR1L1gIdUGG1-CHhDcJpTNhHAw%3BFUU31gIdsVe1-A&gl=us&mra=ls&dirflg=w&sll=47.595785,-122.33205&sspn=0.005166,0.009645&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=17 There is a hotel on the same block too. http://www.silvercloud.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering about going to Long Beach show myself. Was at the moto beemer dealer yesterday, and a salesman told me BMW would be at the Long Beach show. According to him, they'll be introducing the new BIG inline 6 tourer and a new naked F800 with a small windscreen (similar to the F800 ST). Maybe the Long Beach show accesses a bigger market compared to Dallas, which makes it more enticing to manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer ddr Posted December 3, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted December 3, 2010 If anybody would like to get together for lunch next Saturday, let's meet at the VFR in the Honda display at 1:00 pm and walk over to Pyramid together. 2 questions: Is 1:00 too late? or too early? Do we need to (or can we) get reservations? I doubt it, but I could find out. Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year we had a few folks from the Great White North. Anyone coming down this year? Dean, how is your the VFR treating you? You need to put the Troutdale meet in your sig.

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted December 5, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted December 5, 2010 A little logistical question: If I take the train from Vancouver Can to Seattle Wa, does it put me anywhere near where the show would be held or do I need to rent a car, making the train ride pointless? Many thanks Mike Sz I have taken the train from the south in to Seattle a number of times and have also attended the show (separately). You would walk about 6 maybe 7 blocks from the train station to the exhibition hall entrance. Piece of cake. Pick any hotel (the one mentioned previously) or any near downtown to stay and it's a $5 to $10 cab ride from the exhibition hall. There are also places in old town to eat that are a short walk to the north of the hall (and Seahawks Stadium). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choco Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I'll probably try to meet you guys at the Honda display between noon and 1 p.m. on Saturday. I have no idea what new bikes will be there, been somewhat of a let down the last few years. We'll see if Progressive does more than Cycle World has been doing. Beer at Pyramid sounds like a good idea. :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choco Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Arrived at the Honda display at about 12:30, saw Kevin, (Cageless in Seattle) and he was looking for others but had to go someplace else. I walked over to the Pyramid, just after 1 pm, didn't see anybody I knew, had a beer and came back to the show. Got a call from my son Jeremy, he was standing right behind me and had a good laugh. Was walking with him and his wife Kaili when I heard someone calling Choco, choco. It was Randy (E-ticket) so got to see him and his wife Susan. The show was ok, not great. The Honda CBR 250, the mini-VFR 1200, is cute and drew a lot of attention. I think this will be a good seller at $3,999. Honda had the CB 1000 something that got such high praise as naked bike in the mags a year ago. I thought it looked ok, but nothing to write home about. I'm sure it runs great with the older CBR 1000 RR motor in it. The Ducati Duival cruiser looked interesting. It seems to fit into the V-Rod, V-Max niche but looks like it will outhandle them easily and leave other cruisers behind. For you folks from Canada and elsewhere who were fretting over missing the show, you didn't miss all that much. Jason Britton, the guy on the Speed Channel doing the stunts, was there with another guy. They were doing stunts but the smooth concrete floor was not giving them enough traction for really wild stuff, they couldn't even do stoppies. Anyway, stunt riding is not my thing, I appreciate what they can do, but I'd rather watch racing than stunt riding any day. I'd rather be riding than watching racing. It's raining like crazy here in the Puget Sound area, flooding everywhere. The bike is sitting cozy in my garage with the battery tender plugged in. . . . waiting . . . waiting. That's my report.
