Greg Field Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Anyone going to see the Breva and Griso? I'll be working the Piaggio booth on Friday after closing MI. Also, we have discount tickets at the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbennett Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re; Seattle show. Yes, I will be there on Friday morning to help the VME set up their annual display of vintage motorcycles. I was hoping to see a Griso - sounds like this will not happen from your post. I will try to stop by and meet you. I live in Ballard, have a 2001 V11S. I also want to see the Paul Smart Ducati and drool all over the MV's. Uh, what shop are you referring to in your post? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bean Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Yup, going on Saturday. I'll be sure to say hi. Is Dave also working the booth? Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ckamin Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 With regards to Seattle.... I was there last week for Thanksgiving. It was cold and the monorail crashed! I am glad to be back in California! -Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Field Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 I'm in the VME, too. I'm actually the club librarian (what a geek, huh?), and coordinate the whole holiday awards banquet. Dave will be at the show Friday, Sat., and Sunday. I'll be manning the MI front until closing and then working the Piaggio booth Friday and Saturday. There's at least two 2000 V11 Sports, plus a Ballabio, in Ballard. That's a pretty high per capita ratio of V11s. Perhaps you should claim Ballard as the V11 Sport capital of the world?

Greg Field Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 Oh, forgot: There should be two Grisos there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve G. Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hey, fellow VME members! I've been VME for years, try to do the Vashon Tiddler Tour every year, and of course the Vashon TT. Saturday is best for me at the Cycle World Show. We'll be across the street at Pyramid sampling I.P.A.'s at noon, then walk off the dapplings at the show. I'll be looking for a new helmet there. Do you Seattle guys have any idea who's going to be selling off good helmets cheap this year? I'm looking for a flip up, like a Shoei Syncrotec. Ciao, Steve G.

Greg Field Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 Sorry, can't be of help on helmets. Seattle Cycle Center usually has good deals, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbennett Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Steve- I have a barely used Shoei Synchro, lemme know if you want it (cheap) - I could bring it to the show on Sat. I suppose Buying a used helmet is iffy but it has never been dropped Size Large, grey-ish too heavy and noisy for me (tried to email ya - it bounced back) Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Field Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 The Griso is really nice, as is the overall display. I'm also taken with the new Aprilia 450 twin super motard. It's gonna be a two-wheeled velociraptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard100t Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Please post some pictures of the display if you're able to. I cant wait until the show comes to Cleveland this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbennett Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I am headed to the Seattle show later today but this is a similar supermotard that i saw at laguna seca this past summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBenGuzzi Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 can someone explain to me this supermotard racing idea? only thing I can think of is if it has two wheels why the hell not. What I want to know is when are they going to have those kick skooter races? I'd pay to see some of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soloNH Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 DeBen; Supermotard... imagine a motorcross bike with hot street tires weighing less than 250 lbs. and the ability to flick and powerslide at will. Whats not to like? Not my cup of tea (too old) but did have some experience with modified Makos and Pentons back in the 70's, what a hoot around town!!! Scooters? A friend brought back a couple of motorcycle mags. from a recent trip to Taiwan and let me tell you these guys go all out with scooters. Full leathers, sanctioned race circuits, custom exhausts, wheels and tires. The classified section was FULL of adds for hop up kits and everything else listed above. To each his own I guess.
