It's always so awkward when you have no idea who you are looking for...
It was great to meet all of you. Hopefully we will run into each other some time this summer.
Oh. I didn't buy anything. There is never anything to buy. Once, a couple years back a dealer in Toledo was there with a Kushitani rep and I finally found a pair of gaunlet gloves to fit. I took them home with me, then called the guy and paid for them.
Every year it gets worse and worse for the vendors. I know it's a bike show, but it would be nice if some of the manufacturers like AGV, A*, etc would come and at least bring stuff to try out - if not buy. Being female in the world of sportbikes, it's hard to find proper gear and then you never know if it will fit correctly. Granted they have gotten better, but it is still hard to find a place to actually try the stuff on. - Rant over.

There were tons of places there to try stuff on. I tried on everything from JR and HJC to Dainese and Arai. Granted, most of them had textile only, but there was something to fit everyone. I saw A*, Speed and Strength, Teknic, AGV, HJC, KBC, JR, Shoei, Arai, XSpeed, Scorpion, Belstaff, Lee Parks deer gloves, on and on. That doesn't include the cruiser costumes...
