Johnboy and I took our wives to the Dealer News Show in Indy This past weekend. 800 exhibitors in a 210,000 sq ft area. It's for businesses in the motorcycle industry. It's a chance to meet with distributors, see the new products and compare brands. There are fashion show for the clothing and gear manufacturers. Tech seminars and a dealer motorcycle auction. The wife and I went Friday. We were there when the doors opened. We set a pretty good pace. We didn't get to see it all in one day. John and his wife showed up on Sat. We finished what we missed the day before. Then John and I hit the high spots again while the wives headed for the mall. This motorcycle had Harley engines over the years. The oldest in front and getting newer as it went back. They had video of it being ridden.

Dealers had their own girls handing out literature. Twisted Throttle had several models of bikes on display. The bikes are painted black or charcoal. Then they have their bolt ons painted yellow to stand out. The "backside" of the fashion show. The Chinese have big displays. Here is a Chinese trike that retails around $4000.

This bike raced Dakar this year. The rear fender and side panels are actually a fuel tank. It still had the dirt from the race all over. Here's the roll chart from the race. All Electric. This looks fun.
