Going to Minneapolis !

[THOMPSONR]

Going to Minneapolis Cycle World International Motorcycle Show
05-Feb-2010 - 07-Feb-2010 (Friday - Sunday). I and riding buddy ( not ridding this time) will have most of the day Friday to look around town. What should we see?

Thanks R.

Make sure and bring warm clothing!

Seriously, if it was me, I would rent a car and drive to Stillwater just east of the twin cities along the St. Croix river, or maybe drive down to wabasha via the missisppi. Downtown is down town, I am sure with downtown things to do, but sadly I'm not much of a downtown guy; I spend too much time there during the week!

Three suggestions

Take the elevator to the top of the foshay tower and go outside on the observation deck...
Brits pub is 2 blocks from the motorcycle show, to the west...
Snow carvings at the state fairgrounds in St Paul....

We're meeting at Market BBQ on Saturday night. It's an easy two block walk from the Convention Center. More info here: http://www.bmwmocm.com/MeetToEat.htm
Hope you can join us.

To answer your question:

What kinds of things do you want to see? There are all kinds of museums, art galleries, etc. in the Twin Cities. Like to hunt or fish? We have two HUGE Cabella's. As far as food goes, there's almost nothing you can't find here. And there's always the Mall Of America if you've never been there. The Mill City Museum is downtown and definitely worth a visit! We also have three BMW dealerships within an easy drive of downtown. Might be your only chance to sit on a BMW that weekend.

I know, it's tough to find your way around in MN when there is no "look for the mountains, thats west" built in directional finder youall have in Arvada

Thanks for all the ideas sounds like we have more options than time.

Twofastdogs we will try to make the market Sat night sounds like fun.

Jacko I will keep an eye out for your replacement ride as ornery as you are I think a Little Rascal scooter may be in order. Remember a country boy will survive.

Thanks All Rick
