GREG true. Were the most isolated islands in the world as well. We do have a MC show here but i doubt it's of the caliber as this one.

Can I just say that having a show in Chicago in the middle of winter BLOWS!

The show is huge here and lots of people attend and we all freeze our arses off trying to get parking and walk into the show.

Having it during a warmer part of the year would allow people to RIDE their BIKEs to the show and make an even more awesome day of it.

But No! We continue to Freeze. Just once I would like this to happen during warmer weather.

Just saying'

We always attend. It's a fun day. Lots of product and lots to see. Even if it is light on scooters and scooter gear.

Hey, just be glad you get a show close! I'm planning on the Indy show in February.

I agree.

Use do do the IMS's for Gerbings Heated Gear. The Chicago show was one of our biggest shows of the whole IMS tour. Always looked forward to it!

I went to the show last year and year before and was pretty disappointed both times. Quite a few manufacturers were not there.

Won't be going this year, but I hope for the sake of those who are going that it's a better show this time...

You'd be amazed on how hard the IMS folks work on setting up a show that'ill draw a crowd. Piaggio/Vespa/Scooter people are such a small % of the attendance at the shows...............but are a growing number so things should look better this year and the following years for scooter manufacturers showing off their newest.

And I'll agree by saying that having a show in Cleveland in the middle of winter SUCKS!

Still, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is there, too. 8)

But so are the Browns. What The? emoticon

International Motorcycle Shows?

How do you figure that when they're all in one country.

I like it when America calls something a World Series when nobody else outside the country competes. Razz emoticon

I feel the same way. In fact, our local show (San Mateo) was the smallest ever this year. Oh well, I saved my money this year.
