    Oh man, That would be a nice thing to drive up for. FIRST Robotics build season starts Saturday, so I'll be really busy for the next 6 weeks!

    I went a few years (decade? Shit, I'm getting old) ago. It was awesome! Totally worth a six hour trek down the 401 in a blizzard. Thousands of bikes and scantily clad models can help you forget the Canadian winter for a few hours.
    Iirc, the Dodge Tomahawk was there... v10 motorcycle is a sensible plan. Great starter bike, and cheap on insurance, as it's probably never gonna drive on a road!

    Little bit of a drive for me, but I do have the Progressive IX center show last week of January. It's a bit closer too at 7 miles :)

    Neil Peart is a motor bike guy. He might be there! Dog the bounty hunter will be there.

    I attended the show yesterday. Only one XJ in the entire show that I saw.
    Shania Twain had a bike there LOL. Basically an indistinguishable Harley chop but with horrendous tubes welded all over it.
    I didn't take any pics it was so embarrassing.
    I'm sure she hasn't got a clue how to even ride a bike since most of the added on shite would actually interfere with the rider. I would think she pays PR guys big money to uphold her image.
    Somebody's not doing their job.

    Another thing I'd add is the Hindle exhaust display. They have a new line of stainless headers catering to the cafe crowd. Listings for H K & S but no Yamaha.
    I spoke to the rep and he said soon they will be adding vintage Yamaha stuff. Not cheap but beautifully made.

    Something weird happening. Tried a "reply" to the post with the picture and it keeps going to your last post. Hmmm. Oh well this is what I wanted to reply to the post with the picture.
    "Just by looking at the bike I will venture a guess that it was one of the DTT guys from Toronto.

    I don't know if this will work but this link should take you to my FLICKR album about the Hindle system I bought back in 99 for my Maxim X. I hope this will be part of the "Vintage stuff" the rep mentioned.
    Here goes
