Asian Redneck: 2k9 International Motorcycle Show

We did the The International Motorcycle Show @ San Mateo this weekend. I was a little disappointed because not all the manufactures were there. Missing was Aprillia, KTM, Husaberg, Bimotoa, the Korean brand Kymco, Triumph, and MV Agusta. One thing that stood out was the Ducati Hypermotard 796. Man, that thing looks so fun! I know the 796 has been out but this was the first time I got to see the thing up close. I still can't stand the side mirrors but thats nothing aftermarket mirrors cant fix. Another thing that stood out for you cruiser types was the 2k10 Honda fury. Up close and personal that thing looks like a custom. It does not look like anything Honda would put out. Another bike that Honda had was the VFR 1200. That hasn't been updated forever. It use to be
a 800cc but now its got more meat and a crap load of new technology. Harley Davidson was in abundance. If you loved HD then you would of liked the turn out for HD in San Mateo. I saw the Ducati stunt team for the first time. They put on a couple of 5 minute shows. I remember one guy coming up to me and saying "man, its over wtf. It must of sucked!". Geez, tell me how many times can you watch the same wheelie, stoppie, and burnout? 5 Minutes is perfect for what they were doing. Mission Motorcycles was there too with their electric sportbike. The thing sounded like an RC when you twisted the throttle.
