Long Beach Motorcycle Show

[SNC1923]

Four of my riding buddies and I rode down to Long Beach on Sunday to check out Cycle World's International Motorcycle Show. As usual, there was no shortage of sights, interesting bikes, and cool people. Here are a few of the hightlights:

As is often the case, some of the coolest bikes are in the parking lot, as is the case with this 1979 Suzuki.

Lots of cool bikes, including this Indian with an inline 4.

Honda was showing their new airbagged Goldwing. Is is just me, or does this look like a giant brain?

I didn't EVEN ask how much.

The Aprilia girls were on hand.

Wish I could carry a spare like this Vespa can.

As we got ready to leave, the show continued in the parking lot.

Though I would be hard-pressed to agree, my riding buddies felt this was much improved over the factory color.

It was another good show this year. If it comes to your town, check it out.

Well, well, we're having a lot of fun with captions. That poor young woman; I'm sure she's far more virtuous than the captions allow. Oh well, I've been accused of being the master of the unintentional pun. Now it seems I'm the cut-and-paste inuendo king. :doh
