MOA #24991, south of Los Angeles
Pretty decent show this year, all the new stuff of course, and lots of freebie giveaways.
I was VERY pleased to see that BMW NA shared its space with the MOA - This is most definitely a Win-Win for both groups, mutually beneficial to all (not to mention that maybe BMW has realized where its bread is buttered), especially considering that the Los Angeles area is probably one of this country's largest markets for bikes (and cars) in general.
I even got to chat with a couple of our board members there; Ken Engleman was running around not just talking to everybody, but he also got the task of keeping everybody off the Roland Sands customs. (Somebody forgot the "Please Do Not Sit Here" sign...?)
But of course the Ducati girls were better-lookin'...
Out in the huge parking lot of the Long Beach Convention Center, it was pretty interesting to see what people actually did to their bikes, regardless of brand or type. Have to say - I was pretty miffed that some of the commercial advertisers had stuck cards and pamphlets on many of the bikes ... To all you goodie manufacturers and track-day centers: Please be advised that I specifically make it a point to NOT buy from somebody who so freely chooses to trespass upon my vehicle.
