What a great weekend of motorcycle showing and telling. The Timonium Motorcycle Show promoters sure know how to put a show together. Having been to many an indoor motorcycle show, we have to say that this was one of the best bike shows we've done. The quality of motorcycle show entries from metric, foreign, american, vintage, and even sportbike, was amazing. Some beautiful motorcycles were on display. A Pirate Themed Bike won best display and a Michael Jackson themed sportbike took best of show! We think they gave out over 100 awards before it was all said and done. Timonium owes a big thank you to some awesome motorcycle builders and customizers. These folks were very gracious to share their work with us all and we were sure grateful.
Not only was the show itself good but the crowds were awesome! It was so crowded Saturday that you almost couldn't get down the isles. The weather was the best in a couple of months and folks must have had enough of cabin fever. If the buying and the interest and the excitement of these folks is a sign of things to come for the motorcycle industry this motorcycle season, we'll all be celebrating before the end of the season. Maybe it's true what they are saying about the economy, it's really coming back. We sure hope so.
We got a little cold camping in the vendor parking lot but feel good to have saved some hotel money. Hey, who needs a hot shower every night? We just tell ourselves we are being green and put on more perfume and deodorant and get on with it. It will be nice to get home and watch some TV, take a hot shower, and have room to move. We won't be home long though as good ole Daytona Beach Bike Week is coming right up!
This was our first time up to Timonium but you can bet we'll look forward to coming back. We think the International Motorcycle Show tour could take a few lessons from the Timonium promoters. Job well done, Timonium!
