Here are some pics from the Edmonton Motorcycle Show. A few Triumphs and a few other customs.

The Yamaha Raider, which I previously disliked in all media pictures, is now my second favourite bike. Ergonomically it fit me perfect, I wish I had a chance to take it for a ride.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

I like the Raider.. Seems like a good looking bike. How does it feel? I love the lines of it, but not as much as the Triumph... Speaking of,, them are some good looking bikes.


Dont like what you see??? Big red X in the top right of your screen will fix it!

As far as touchy feely goes for the Raider, it felt really good. Normally, I am not a fan of Japanese bikes but it really like it. The saddle was super comfy. I returned to the show again today to pick up some leathers and found myself pulled back to the Raider. That's me on the bike & I am 6 foot. The fella taking the pick is only 5'6 and said there is no way he would feel comfortable on it. The Yami/Star factory guy told me its the longest wheelbase on a production bike.

I should also mention I took a gander & sat on the new Harley Rocker......Yuck!!! Even a few of the Harley reps at the booth didn't like it.
