I'm curious as to whether it's worth seeing.

What no triumph?!

I went last year and was introduced to a local Triumph dealership.
It is a great show.
Sign up on Friday to test ride any bike. We went on Saturday
morning and all the test rides were already signed for through the
rest of the show.

I don't know if there is enough to keep you entertained the entire
weekend. I haven't been on Friday or Sunday. I will say that I went
down on Saturday and was entertained for the entire day. My club
was impressed enough to immediately vote this one of our annual
events.

If I find a job and am able to attend this year I will let you know.
Perhaps we could meet while we are both there.

Here's other shows in Dayton OH and Buffalo NY

I work just down the street from the Carolina First Center in Greenville. I probably won't be going to that event, as those sort of things tend to bore me, but it'd be cool to meet you guys while you're here. Maybe get a ride in if the weather and schedules permit?

I go to it when it comes to CA...only 1 day to pick up gloves or some thing plus look at new bikes...

I'm going to the one in Seattle. It's a pretty good show; the usual bike displays and accessories for sale. There's a local vintage club that usually has some excellent bikes there - Japanese and British.

Weather permitting, go and ride. Ride as many other bikes as you want. Make plenty of time (take off Friday), and get there early and start signing up for group rides at the Factory Trucks. Harley sometimes does solo ride-outs, but you still have to register and reserve a time.

I can stay all day for two or three days, never spend a dime, and ride 6-8 different motorcycles each day if I want, for 20-30 minutes each. Kawi, Yamaha, Ducati, Harley and Buell have been there in the past with everything from sportbikes to tourers, to cruisers.

I usually go inside and walk the "show" later in the day before they close, maybe even the last day when the vendors are more likely to have stuff more steeply discounted so they don't have to pack it back up and haul it to the next town.

I love my Speedmaster, but It's sporty enough to make me try different things (like the new VMax, and Ducati Hypomotard, Yamaha Raider, VRod Muscle, and anything else you can think of).

At the end of the day, it's sure nice to get on my Speedy and tear it up all the way home.

We have an awefull lot to like and be thankful for.

I think I'll hit this, since I missed last year... unless the weather is on my side.

We took in the DC show today. A nasty, rainy, cold day here in MD, it was a good day to knock off a few hours looking at bikes.
Triumph wasn't there and neither were BMW or Aprilia. The local Trump dealer (Clinton) was there, but no sign of former member Joe (sales guy) who runs around with Fred & company. They said he still works there and still has his America with the crazy long Specialty Spares pipes.
Progressive had the Sucker Punch Sally bikes and you could even sit on them, which I thought was pretty cool. The daughter took a picture of me on the Fender-themed Thrux. This bike had some real neat details and finishes.
The Japanese Vintage Club had a great display and there the local Norton Club also had some nice Norton's/BSA & vintage Triumphs on display.

I went to the one in Greenville and it was OK. I didn't see any of the group test rides from last year.
The biggest disappointment was when I flagged down some guy in a Norton jacket and asked him
if the Truiumph booth had the new Rocket 3 Roadster and he mistakenly said yes. I wanted to see
that bike and was quite disappointed when it wasn’t there.

OOOOOOH!!! I LIKE THAT!
