Thanks! Disappointed GP wont be there but I figured as much since there was no mention on their own website.
Spring Motorcycle SuperShow - March 29-30
- Thread starter cutekill
- Start date
I think they only one they go to is the one downtown at enercare/exhibition place.
I think you are only going to see GP at the February Show from now on.

Winners were drawn Thursday night and were pm'd.
Great to see everyone one last time before the busy motorcycle season begins.
There were many stalls with riding gear with discounts of 20-50$ depending on what you are looking for. The most interesting one I found was kevlar hoodies and pants from Canadianriding gear.com

I bought some gear from them today. Looked good and supporting a local company.
If I am remembering it correctly, have been to this show when they had it in CNE but if u didnt go this year - you didnt miss anything. Despite the gloomy, rainy Sunday morning, it was nice to get out and enjoy a drive. There were very few sport bikes on display. The Kawasaki bikes that were on display had "DO NOT SIT" stickers, which was disappointing. Suzuki's display was more relaxed, but overall, I was hoping to see more variety, particularly from Aprilia,which was a letdown. The event featured a lot of motorcycle clubs, with a significant focus on Harley, chopper, and trike displays.
There were several stalls selling jewellery and cap, few apparel and some unexpected vendors, including: a bell store (lol), hearing aid shop, a chiro stall, on-site paid massage therapy, some snake oil stuff, and someone spreading word of God. The butter tart place were out of walnut by the time i went so got some pecan tart, found tri-fold wallet for 10$ and 20$ edibles
. The biggest presence in terms of riding gear were from riderschoice.ca and BFR sports (Montreal based). Another vendor i found selling Kevlar gear was OldSoul moto. I got the drift - speaking to both vendors - that the kevlar material comes from Pakistan. OldSoul moto had a realistic display of the apparel after an accident with someone attesting to their product. Price range between two vendors seem to be between 199-250$.
Overall, while it was nice to get out, the Motorcycle Spring Show could be little bit more interesting. I didnt have time to venture into boat show but did stop at pop-up giant designer sale, it was crowded (cos it was free ) - 10$ tees FTW!

This March show at the International Center by the airport and the one in January are both Supershow productions, and (as far as I understand) are very similar. The February show in the Enercare Center at Exhibition Place is hosted by a different company and has official manufacturer representation (or at least much more) than the Supershows.
Based on the pictures, it looks to be very similar to the January show, slightly smaller.If I am remembering it correctly, have been to this show when they had it in CNE but if u didnt go this year - you didnt miss anything.

bingo.
Late reply, but better late than never.
I won the tickets from GTAM, and made sure I introduced myself to @cutekill . I've been wanting to talk to the GTAM people for the last several shows but was never able to, so glad to be able to thank her for the great community that has been created here.
The show was, indeed, like the January show but with much less interesting stuff IMO. I was hoping to shop for a jacket but the only dealer who had anything at all that I was interested in was Rider's Choice. There I spent a while talking to the Klim rep (nice guy); apparently their stock was late in arriving so unfortunately it was pretty slim pickings with nothing in my size.
I thought the show website said there were going to be some shows (cage of death/moto jumping sort of stuff), but I didn't see anything. The show had way less for me than the January show did, and certainly less than the February show. I'm glad my kids didn't end up coming with me because they would have been disappointed (they enjoyed the January and February shows).
The boat show was not interesting at all.
Drove clear across town and beyond to GP bikes after, and was disappointed to find that the jacket they had ordered in for me was the wrong colorway.
All in all, except for being able to meet and thank @cutekill - I was pretty disappointed in my whole Saturday.

I had fun working the Ride for Sight booth with my oldest daughter. I always have fun at the Motorcycle shows.
