It's the Seattle motorcycle show that everyone needs to attend at least once. There's much more space than at Tradex and a few more models are on the show floor than at the Vancouver show.

Yup, tickets purchased. I'm going to try and get there early enough Saturday (like when the doors open) to get my son signed up for the Yamaha Riding Academy so he can try riding a dirt bike. We tried last year but we got there to late and would have had to wait like 6 hours.

Thanks | I believe most dealers sell tickets, I know Holeshot does for sure $10.00 (cash only).
The savings isn't the best reason to prebuy it's being able to avoid that lineup to purchase tickets at the door, it gets so long.

I was there from 10-2 this morning. Good stuff. Ducati scrambler, 899 panigale and ktm390 were my winners.
Picked up some 60L saddle bags for summer camping with the gixxer. Found a helmet and backpack id like to order as well. Very excited

Man, the fit of that backpack with their "butterfly" front looks awesome... I always use a Victorinox backpack I used to have in uni and it wreaks havoc on my shoulders at highway speeds.
