Anyone go to Cycle World Show?
I went today (Sun). The parking lot looked crazy! There was OVER a thousand bikes parked up (free parking 
)The show was pretty good. Got to see all the new '03's. Saw some weird **** (Duc with clear fairings). And there were some killer deals on gear. Shoei Duhammel helmets for $260, Arai RX7RR helemets for $320, One piece Honda leather suits for $299, and a shitload of others. I found this Corsa jacket I've been looking for. Got a pretty damn good deal.
Everyone was free to sit on the demo bikes. A buddy of mine got carried away and tried to knee drag.
JFWY!
It was a display that Buell had. They had a bike leaned over some black steel poles. A great way to take some pics and brag to your friends that you can knee drag without gear or a helmet (true squid style).

Re: Anyone go to Cycle World Show? (ALL MOTA)
I went on Friday... picked up a Fieldsheer Carbon Race leather jacket for $200... cheapest I saw online was $250ish from parts411.com, which meant I'd have to pay CA tax. Arai RX7-RR's for $320? I missed that 
I paid $420 for my titanium grey one earlier this year I forgot to pick up a tinted visor for my lid though... was rushed out cuz we had to leave for dinner. The new Duc's didn't appeal much to me... I really liked the new R6 and the CBR 600rr... soooooo many people were around the 600rr it wasn't even funny. Overall a good show, just for the gear discounts. Now I know to wait for shows like this to buy some 1-piece leathers if I ever decide to get a pair.

Re: Anyone go to Cycle World Show? (tonydatyga)
you don't have to move to cali (even though we have the best year round riding weather). the shows are nationwide. here's a link:
http://show.motorcycleshows.com/IMSB.../V33/index.cvn
the people who sell the gear are usually local dealers and retailers. it's pretty surprising to see even some of the latest gear on sale.
