They still don't get it. The IMS is a snooze-fest. New bikes are not enough.

Would you pay to go into a dealership? That's all this show is- it's basically a multi-franchise showroom. Big fucking deal.

Would you pay a waiter to just take a look at the menu at a restaurant? Fuck no.

What are you talking about??? There are new models every year....all worth taking a look at. Its all about the umbrella girls. :rofl

The IMS website claims that H-D, Triumph, BMW, Honda, Suzuki, and Can-Am are "tourwide participants". Kawasaki, Ducati, Yamaha, and Star are "multiple-market participants" (e.g. they don't show up everywhere). They don't list anyone else, which makes me think the show is likely to suck as much this year as it has in the recent past. Nick Ienatsch and Ken Hill will be there on Saturday to talk about the Yamaha Champions Riding School. "Mr. Daytona" Scott Russel will also be there on Sat.

The fact that Nick, Ken and Scotty will be there is worth the price of admission alone. If you are unfamiliar with YCRS, you should learn about it and read Nick's "bible" on motorcycle riding. BTW: YCRS will be offering schools at Laguna this year. And, no, I am not an employee of YCRS, just a fan.

What day ya going Dani??

And what size shoes you wear..you probably have teensy feet, but I have an extra pair of Sidi Vertigo Lei's size 43(I wear women's 10)

Hopefully they have more gear there..really was only one from So Cal there that had SOME stuff..but not a huge selection..lots of Icon stuff mostly and MX stuff..
Click to expand...

I wear a 39 or 40 or I woulda taken you up on the Sidis. I'd look like RonaldMcDonald in 43s though.:laughing But damn, no gear?!?? Really, is it just bikes?! No Dianese, A* or good quality stuff? Perhaps they need to rethink their strategy a bit. :(

haha...I knew you little feet..well..not MY cruise ship size feet! LOL! I think SIdi size numbers are higher because I wear a women's 10..and sometimes I am 40 or 41..43 seems like it would be bigger but the Vertigo Lei's are perfect fit...hmmmm. what shoe size are you?

As for gear..not really a ton in past years. I just recall that one big "store". It is a shop down in So Cal that sets up a mini shop there..and it was mostly Icon stuff and then a ton of motocross stuff and then random stuff. There are some smaller random vendors selling stuff..oh..did see one vendor last year selling some Dainese but was mostly men stuff and not really much on sale there.

Then you have the specialty vendors like heated gear (gerbings?), sunglasses, Arai, Shoei, etc..ya never know..but won't find HUGE selections..especially for the ladies..unless you fit into men's stuff.

I had had best luck on ebay getting my Sidi's..Dainese from Hattar Moto in San rafael when they had a "moving sale"..they occasionally have good deals on their sale rack. D Store in SF also has clearance stuff but is hit and miss..

I am always deal hunting...so tell me your size and what ya need and I can keep my eyes peeled!

I'm a women's 8 1/2: Sounds like I should at least try your Sidis?
All I wear is Men's stuff. Found out years ago that it's the only way to go to get a hassle- free ride in.......blend. :)

I hope everyone who's there on Sunday stops by the AFM booth to say hi! And if you've ever been interested in being a corner worker, and being one of the guys/gals that keeps us safe out there when we're racing, then you can get more info, or even sign up! :)

I will probably stop by and say hi. Im a shy guy though. So if i dont, then shyness is what kicked in at the time, lol. They wouldn't be happen to be serving any alcohol there would they lol? Im down to hear about info on being a corner worker though. Amongst other things like racing, i want to meet the roadside angel who has helped so many.
