Confused My 2 bits of the "International Motorcycle Show" in Minneapolis Minnesota this past weekend; No MZ's, no Aprilia's, no Husky's, 'one' trials bike (a Montesa, very well used), no Housyuns. no Derbi's, no Sherco's, one KTM, however there was an entire fleet or Urals. $12 per head + $9 parking. Tons of Harley do-rags (oh boy). Summary - boring, read your motorcycle mags and save a bunch of money, at least at this location. Jim

KTM had a decent booth at the ATL show, I think it was a local dealer tho. Aprilia has been at past shows, but prob doesnt have the extra $$ to do it this year. No MZs tho Sad had a lot of fun at the ural booth adding "when its running" to the end of every comment made about the bike by the rep.
it was still $12 admission but I scored a few $2 off passes at a local suzuki place, parking was free Very Happy

besides, there was one bike at the Atlanta show that was worth the price of admission just to see and touch (gently):

(if I have to tell you what this bike is, slap yourself HARD)

That looks better, the Britten is A1. Come to think of it, no MV Agusta's, no Nortons either at Mpls.
