Ticketbait, we will see you there. We will be there Friday afternoon when the show opens and all day Saturday. Are you going to IHOP for breakfast on Saturday?

The mannequin pose would be funny!

No demo rides is a bummer. Maybe I'll demo a Slingshot instead.

I'm planning on attending on Friday, unless something on my schedule changes.

OK we will do the pose Friday;)

I am planning on going to the show on Friday as well, did that two years ago and the crowds were much smaller and was able to speak with the BRP entourage that were in attendance. Really wanted to test ride again an F3, but will do that at a dealership instead.

Need to up grade my ST1 BRP helmets, one is 6 years old and the other is 4½ Had Nolan before and they were nice but the BRP by Givi were awesome and I could get all the sound wired in my helmet- loved it. New learning curve now with the wireless. Most likely better than what I had 6 years ago.

Won't be making the Saturday show as my son and I are going to the LA auto show, (weird, think its first time conflicting schedules) then Sunday I am treated to the Rams game at the coliseum with my brother.:yes:

Did ihop last year, remember George/ Pincushion riding a motorized skateboard or something to that effect in the parking lot was hilarious. (need to find that footage) But the year before went to Long Beach Cafe which is at 615 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90802 and that was awesome food and atmosphere. Sat up at the counter.:thumbup:

I will look for you MRH, have been meaning to meet you, and one day ride Angeles Crest together! And if we do, my treat for breakfast at "The Dish " in La Canada.

With the thousands of demo rydes we led in California North and South this year I think California is demoed out! I am pretty sure they still have several units in a warehouse in Torrance! Look for Demo events coming in 2017 at a dealer near you. Note "Pincushion" in my Avatar!

I don't know about that. Your rides haven't been on my radar, which may indicate they haven't been on the radar of most two wheeled riders.

I'm sure BRP has run the numbers, and made a choice based on their needs. For me, it was largely a test ride at the show that convinced me to upgrade my 2010 to a 2014 (well, that and mechanical issues with the 2010). It also really opened up my interest in an F3 last year. With no pressure to purchase, and since I'm likely already there, it is far more likely I'll test ride at the show than at a dealer on one of their very limited days (many of which I work, because I work weekends).
