I thought there were only two shows every year. Now I see three listed.

Motorcycle supers show.
Jan 6 2023 at the International Center
This is the on to get your beef jerky at I believe.

Toronto Motorcycle Show
Feb 17 at the Enercare Center
This is the big factory show.

Spring Motorcycle Show
April 2023 International Center
No idea what this is about

It's been that way for years. The April one feels like a flea market.

No interest in ever going to the Enercare one it need to be combined with the Jan. one again. Way to big a pita to go downtown to see

GO train from Burlington to CNE, no traffic, free parking , worth $20, I'd burn that in gas in and out.

You can also tuck into the parking lot by the grass parade ground at Fort York for free , you just have to want the 10 min hike .

Personally, I find the MMIC show bland. If you're not looking for a new bike, there's really not much there. I go and will continue to go but I'm usually only there for a couple hours.

The Supershow definitely has its carnival elements, but that adds to the appeal for me. It gives it its bustle & hustle. Dried meat sellers don't offend me like they do some on here. I spend 3 or 4 hours there and ALWAYS have an opportunity to chat with people I know, and I don't "know" many people (by choice).

I enjoy looking at the bikes, I even check out the grotesque customs in their own hall in hopes of finding some that aren't cartoonish caricatures of motorcycles, I check out and linger the club displays thinking , "should I become a vintage racer?", or "These Christian guys seem so happy together, if I joined would it bring them down a bit?", I gather all the free information from the travel sellers and touring regions to plan rides that I might take, and root around the gear sellers just in case there's something I can't live without.

I also buy my single yearly bag of candied almonds and feel somewhat gross on the way home.

On another thread you were commenting about community/comradery. The January show is "motorcycling community" written large and includes everybody, even the potentially unsavory. I just choose to ignore or get-over the crap that doesn't interest or matter to me.

I thought this one was a manufacturer’s show,

The big one at the airport is more of a dealer’s show

I go to the Jan show just to see how much damage Helmut can do with his grip.
