Posts: 457 Green Bay, WI United States | The show was OK but, $15 a head to get in and $9 to park in the ramp for a show that took less than two hours to walk? Another $35 for gas, should have taken the Lady out to prime rib dinner and a movie. The best part of the whole show for me was all the Victory cloths and patches that were being worn. I am sure that vests and jackets covered up some of the clothes for all brands but Victory had a very good showing. I got more than a few double takes with my "Arizona Victory" shirt on. Winner for the Club with the most people flying colors would be the Christian Biker's Association. Any body else go? Comments:

Chicago this weekend.
I will be there for sure. I always find a new aftermarket company or some widget I did know existed. |

We were looking for Firstgear or Tourmaster clothing... nothing. Leather everywhere! And did you look at the Hardball that Vic had there. I think they borrowed it from someone, and they just rode it there. It was filthy! Clean that bike up before you display it! Good to see the size of the Indian display, though! The full semi- tractor trailer in there too! And the coolest thing of it all... Victory show bikes! It's about time! We're going to Chicago, too.
Hey, I didn't think the fire marshall would allow anyone to start bikes at the show, but the HD booth was doing just that while we were there.
And yes, there was a lot of Victory clothing being worn at the show. Not as much as HD, but more than any other manufacturer. |

Did not get close enough to see what this was all about. I loved the Indian motorcycles and will have one in my stable some day, so flippin retro, I love it!

Posts: 169 Iowa | Been doing this show for 5-6 yers now. This was the best Victory showing that I can remember. It's good to get out with some friends and shoot the breeze at the show. Can't ride with the snow on the ground. |
