Well, the first of the International Motorcycle Shows is done and gone. The Dallas show kicked off the tour and while the crowds were good, sales were slow comparatively from past Texas shows.
It was good to see plenty of riders out and enjoying the show and displays. We noticed Honda, Harley Davidson, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki had really scaled back their displays this year and many of our vendor friends were no where to be found. We hadn't been to the Dallas show at this location but other vendors said that the show was half as big as it was last year. We think this is understandable as the economy has slowed.
Still, we had a safe trip down and back, moved some inventory, met some really great customers, and had a good time. I love going to the shows no matter, making alot of money makes it more fun, but still, the travel, the selling, and owning your own business makes it all worth while.
Next stop? Not sure, thinking Dayton, Ohio...we'll see...after that, we'll have the rest of the IMS shows all over the country.
