It was a wonderful surprise to spend some time with my dear friend @wobblycat today.

$45 Full synthetic liquimoly gets me everytime... er, I get it everytime.
Also got some gloves from GP and kangaroo meat (as a gift, although I sorta wanted to get the venison or wild boar for me...)
Sitting on all the bikes was nice n fun, far better than January. The $2200+ Honda Navi was super cool to see something like that. Little upset that the offerings for cruisers, outside of Harleys and Rebels is pretty diminished now. Everyone seems to be staying in their market I suppose.
Sitting on a 2022 TW200 farm bike with the exact same tach and turn signals from the 80s was also great.
The White R7 was reminiscent of @Soulcatcher668 Duc, albeit spinning and with a bunch of lighting and Yamaha logos.
The MotoIntro was also very cool to see, free sample riding school for entry, although I kinda miss the stunt show.
The Clutch/MotoSocial back end was also an interesting thing, very different vibe to the entire placd, lots of cool restos and customs. Also lots of white claws and custom paint jobs.
Didn't stop by the GTAM booth unfortunately, although I did see it on the way out
Good quality show, can't wait for riding season.

Car Parking was free for me today in the surface lots south of the building. The guy at the booth said it was free for the show after 5. Dunno about other days.
Only free on Friday evening.
I paid $21 to park underground and it was worth every cent!
And that TW200 was sweet!

so.....is the show worth it this year. just hoping to get some feedback before we make the long drive....and investment. Also....any tips from anyone concerning where you can find free parking
Yeah, I didnt really mean free parking....thats absurd!!
I still have a condo across for Fort York, but it was too cold to walk
Show was pretty good despite BMW , Kawasaki, Ducati missing.
Great displays from the manufacturers who participated and interesting looking E Motorcycles from Can-Am
Have to admit the 1000 GT is exceptional value at $18k including side cases. But the cable clutch hmmm.
The “P” Strom still looks like a Vstrom.
I was at the booth when someone tipped over the Busa !

Last time I was in at Twin City Cycle in KW they had one on the floor.
Goes to show their change in marketing and new models is working to attract a new customer base.

I was sitting on bikes by GP yesterday when someone dropped one of the $20k Ducs, mirror smashed, very dramatic, the guys just walked away heh...
