IMS: International MC show random photos

This is a continuation of the previous post which included no 2-wheeled photos which is going to be remedied now. From the various chitter chatter on our local bike forums, it would appear that our Vancouver show, scheduled for late January 2011 is at least double the size of this Seattle show. Also we will be honoured with the presence of BMW & Triumph which were AWOL in Seattle .


(Honda CBR250R)

This is a very nice looking bike and it is priced at US$3,999. with ABS available as an option . Here is a view of the cockpit



Note that even on this entry model a tachometer is supplied as standard equipment


(Harley Davidson, scrambler)

I don't know much about old bikes



but perhaps some retired Kiwi from Coromandel could chime in with further details


(MotoGuzzi)

There were lots of vintage bikes on display







Here is a view of the floor



I think the show was smaller than last year. Unlike the Vancouver show it was easier to climb onto virtually any bike of your choice, with less lines







I can't help it, I often find myself staring at the lovely jugs of an "R" bike



Here's Trobairitz posing on a Suzuki GS500F



and Troubadour on a Suzuki DR400 dual sport



This is his way of saying that it meets with his approval



Something we noticed was this new way of adjusting your chain by using an offset cam



I try to find the Women Riders section so I can locate Stacy and to my surprise, I notice Sonja and Mr Sonja


(Stacy, Bob & Sonja)

It was great to see SonjaM at the Seattle show. She didn't mention she was coming down and couldn't stay for dinner before heading back to Vancouver

Here's Rick on a Ninja something or other





Here's one for Charlie6, a hack with a missile side car



We were getting a bit friendly by the end of the day
