Default IMS Cycle World 2011 Show

So my BIL asked me to go as the MC guy, to help him look thru the new touring models.

So this Kawasaki Voyager was the main attraction for my BIL



nice sticker price. But like a Victory Vision, a test drive could kill it.


Nice lookin dash


Heated seats and rider comm


He really likes it


They are offering a stripped down version for more "solo riding" per the Kaw Corp people there. To which I said, yeah it's the "Street Glide" version DUH.


But they switched the bag type too, for the negative. Side opening <thumbs down>


A couple of bikes for the dual sport gents




But if you want true off roading... hmmm



This was a real nice looking cruiser


Some nice rocket power





Yummy, I bought 2 (and on phone here)

Yammy tried to meet with the Kaw but WOW does it fall short in some areas


Like a CASSETTE deck on a 2011 bike! REALLY!?!?!?!?!?!


Another Yammy, and boy is it a dead ringer for another brand?!?


But talk about a poor use of fairing space


Madonna called, she wants her bra cups back.


A real nice straight cruiser


Some WOW factor wheels


If you don't have your testicles or ovaries anymore substitute them with another wheel.


If you still have those body parts, you'll do better on this, honestly.


They had some nice customs. Honda had this "factory" custom that was real real nice.




All touch screen, but is the speedo in there?


Then all these custom built bikes through out in a bike show contest. I didn't even take pics of all of them.

Progressive was HUGE there. BIL was looking for Flo, for maybe inpure reasons, but she wasn't around. It's ok, he found great cut rate insurance for his future bike purchase. LOL


They had lots of nice vendors there. WAY more than they had last time I went 5 years ago.

Found this nice vendor product - Stop & Go Tire plugs

Picked up a catalog from these boys... again thinking about my dual sport buddies


Found this super cool helmet for those nerd folk


Then there was jason britten's no limit stunting team show

Thanks for posting them Gas, Just out of curiosity do youhave any more pictures of the Turbo'ed B King? I would like to get a sense of which setup they are using. (God I own a a B King and that thing is proof that nothing can make them look good)

Some of the custom bikes look like they should have pedals.
