So. Anyone going? Not as big as the one in January at the International Center but I'll probably go to this one.

I will likely swing by on my way home from work on Fri.

I gotta go down to the train station to go home anyways so I may just go for the 10 minute walk and check it out. Altho, I am strapped and wont be buying anything....unfortunately!

I would have definitely swung by to see you TE450. I have a buddy who lives just outside of Cambridge (Sheffield) who I ride with though so maybe since I won't be there on Saturday I will run into you out that way on the bike this summer.

Just got back from the show. I had to pick up a small trailer when in Toronto, can you believe they want $50.00 to park and a 20 minute walk away ???

The vintage display is right near where i was working. They have a nice 400 Super Sport there.

This show is not near as good / big as the one January 2,3,4. That said it is a nice way to spend a afternoon.

I got to find a better place to park for Saturday.

I ended up working 2 days , was not planed. I'm a sucker for helping out when needed.

The bike show at the international center is much better. I hope to catch up with a few guys there.

I spoke with the "Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group". These guys set up the spring event in Paris Ontario June 13 & 14. It would be nice if we could get a bunch of us from here to meet at this event.

I went on Saturday and it was busy!! Must have just missed you Randy.

I agree. The supershow is the better of the two. Maybe closer to the date we can set up a date, time and place to meet at that show.
