Are there any events in Houston like the auto show where you can actually see products for the spider before you buy them? Sorry if this is a dumb question. New to the spider and seems no one stocks accessories

The Progressive International Motorcycle Show has been in the Dallas/Ft Worth area for a number of years now usually in October or November I think. Their website is not showing where they will be this year but they will probably be back in Dallas/Ft Worth. Back in the '70's and '80's they were in Houston but, to my knowledge, not recently. BRP has been well represented at all the shows that I've attended in Dallas with good displays of bikes and all their gear and accessories. I know it's a bit of a drive from Houston but I find these shows well worth attending. Not only will most of the major bike manufacturers be there but most of the major helmet and riding gear brands will also be there. You can learn more about helmets at a show than anywhere I've been and have the opportunity to try on every make, model and size without feeling any obligation to buy any particular one. I drive a couple hundred miles to attend most years.

If you find any more information on this show can you post it for me?
I'd like to go and I know I will forget to keep checking their website.

Thanks,

The more I think about it I think you're right, scooterexpress, December rather than October or November. I'll keep an eye out for it.
