Winter Get Together and Motorcycle Show
I promised to organize something for the winter so here it is..the Progressive Insurance International Motorcycle Shows at the Rock Financial Center in Novi, MI on January 8th 2011. The show actually is 7 to 9 but we are planning on Saturday with lunch at 3:00 at a local restaurant. BRP will be at the show.
I'll post more details at a later date. There are a number of shopping malls and IKEA nearby for those who aren't interested in the show.
Here is a link for the show www.motorcycleshows.com

Nice to see BRP represented at all the shows this year. I wish all manufacturers were, so good comparisons could be made.
We expect to go, and probably on Saturday, but I have to be fed well before that time. We wouldn't want my blood sugar to go "BOING!" Maybe we'll see you there, though.

I'll likely be there on Saturday, too. Last year I heard the show was pretty small and somewhat disappointing compared to prior years. I hope they are building it back up.
I always try to get there early because parking can be pretty tight.

It has been shrinking, especially with the withdrawal of more and more manufacturers, as the economy continues to falter. The Chicago show has not suffered quite as much. Still, it is a great excuse to break away during the heart of a Michigan winter, even if only a dozen motorcycles are exhibited. Any excuse to think motorcycles in Michigan in the winter, is just as good as a flimsy excuse to ride during the summer.

I'd love to see some more of our Michigan friends there!

Cindi & I will be there. Looking forward to seeing everybody again.

I hope everyone will be able to come. Our plan is to go to the show early then meet for a late lunch after. So Scotty you could eat your early lunch and stop by the restaurant for a little snack or something warm to drink.

They just announced on the news that the facility has been renamed. It is no longer "Rock Financial" - now it's called the "Suburban Collection". Don't know if new signs will be up by the time of the show, but don't be surprised if you see the new name rather than the old.

The pressure tank on our well blew last night. I fixed it, but blew out my knee in the process. Shoveling the drive strained my back. Today the furnace quit, so I got to abuse both parts a little more while I monkeyed with that. Everything is up and running now...except me, but we will be at the show tomorrow bright and early. Not sure how long I'll last. I was thinking about getting a new Arai helmet, but the pressure tank thinned my wallet. Guess the Scorpion will last me another year. C ya there!
