International Motorcycle Show Dallas 2010 Part 1

International Motorcycle Show Dallas Texas 2010

Yep, it was that time of year again, the Start of the International Motorcycle Show in North America. It kicked off this weekend in Dallas Texas. I went last year with my wife and youngest son and this year I went with my oldest son Jake. We attended on Sunday with my using a Press Pass this year. I had been invited to the Ducati Diavel North America Unveiling Friday early afternoon, but alas, I had to work.

The layout of the show seemed a little better than last year and not so cluttered. We caught the Team No Limit Stunt Show with Jason Britton and it was AWSOME! We checked out all the vintage bikes and the Custom Bike Competition entrants. There we a lot of great bikes! We also checked out and sat on a bunch of the manufactures bikes that were there and I think just about every brand was represented.

This year I am posting the photos in sections because there are so many. This will also make it easier to find pictures of the type of bikes you like.  Here are some general photos of the show and the Demo Ride area. Jake Test drove a $30,000 Harley. He mentioned something about third gear and triple digits.

2009 Dallas Cycle World International Motorcycle Show

2009 Dallas Cycle World International Motorcycle Show Photo Log

We got to the show fairly early, parked, and went right in with the steady flow of arrivals. I sat on several different bikes worried that I would find one that felt nice and catch new bike fever. However, that did not happen. None of them really felt that great to me. The closest in comfort to me was the Star Stratoliner.

Browsing the venders that were present I made several small purchases. Some thin leather non vented gloves for cool riding. Another pair of winter gloves with built in zip out rain covers. Lastly some clear goggles for riding in the rain and at night. Oh, and one cotton bandana.

We signed up for all the drawings and missed most of the shows and got out of the Dallas Convention center shortly after lunch. I’m not much of a photographer so bear with the photos. There should be some eye candy for every one, sport bikes, cruisers, vintage bikes, custom bikes, etc. Click on the photo for larger size.
