I spent this afternoon at the Indianapolis Powersports Industry Dealer Show. Most of the aftermarket vendors as well as some of the OEM manufacturers are here to show their wares to try to get dealers to handle their products. It is a massive exposition and you need good walking shoes if you want to cover all or most of it. I spent about 5 hours this afternoon and will go back all day tomorrow. I took some pics and will get more tomorrow and will post them in a few days when I get back home.
A few highlights:
Stopped at the Altrider both and talked to Jeremy. He had the bars, skid plate, rear rack and a few guards on display, all looking good.
One item on my agenda was to compare my two leading choices of hard luggage, the Trax and the Trekkers. I spent quite a bit of time at the Twisted Throttle area checking out several of their items, including the Trax bags. I liked what I saw and thought I had made up my mind. That is until I stopped at te Givi display and checked out the Trekkers. Now, I was undecided. Perhaps SW Motech racks and Givi Trekkers.
Then I happened to stop by another vendor's display and he had anther brand that really impressed me with their quality and looks. I'll get more pics and info tomorrow before I tell you more, but I am excited about these. I can tell you that the Europeon head of this company was there and a sales guy told me that this gentleman had his own S10 and was in love with it and was going full tilt making accessories for it. I hope to talk to him directly tomorrow.
Yamaha had a S10 there, along with a Moto GP bike and a Dakar bike and several other bikes on display and they told me that the Super Tenere was getting all the attention.
If there is anything you guys would like me to try to find and get some pics and/or info please let me know by Saturday morning. I will be there all day and hope to cover all the rest of the show and then head back Sunday.
