Moncton Bike Show

[Qship]

Just got back from the Annual Moncton Bike Show. Of course had to check out the newest Triumphs. Renewed my subscription to a Canadian bike mag called Motorcycle Mojo and chatted with one of the editors(Glenn Roberts) that does the bike show circuit trying to get new people to subscribe and just generally take in the shows. Great guy and turns out he had a long term Triumph Tiger XC as a tester last year and liked it so much he bought it at the end of the test. That's a sound testament to Triumph's performance and quality.

The show is usually 3 days(Friday-Sunday), but just like last year it will probably be closed/cancelled tomorrow due to the SNOWPOCALYPSE that's starting here already.

She that must be obeyed came along(It was Valetine's Day afterall), and we had a supper out and went to the show after.

Sorry no pix as the one's on her cell phone were terrible

Glad you had a good day before the storm hit.
The snow was coming down when I got up this morning so it's not going to be a fun day.
I've never been to the Moncton show mainly due to poor traveling conditions this time of year.
There will be a show in Halifax in late March and our vintage bike club will have a display.

 

[Qship]

I may try and make it down for that one too. Friends of mine want to go to it.

 

[Rocky]

The traveling should be better in March.
Hope to see you there.

SNOWPOCALYPSE

I know it's easy for me to laugh, as I haven't got to put up with it, but this did make me laugh

 

[Qship]

If you can't laugh at it you'll go loony before long. Glad to be of service in your personal amusement.
C'mon over and I'll introduce you to SNOW shoeing, SNOW shovelling, SNOW blowing, SNOW mobiling.....................................................the list goes on.

Thanks Rocky. Thought it was going to be later in March. This may work out better. Have to go pick up my daughter at the Outlaws in the Annapolis Valley that weekend. She's going down for March Break.

 

[Qship]

Rocky, it's odd that you guys are going to be at this event when the Motorcycle and Powersport Atlantic is the week end of March 20-22.

Wouldn't your club get better results at that?

 

[Rocky]

That's where we're going to be. I apologize for sending you the wrong event details. Good catch
Our display may not be as good this year because of all the frozen snow which will make it hard to get bikes out.
Time will tell.
Here are a few shots from last year.

 

[Qship]

Down in Halifax area will get lots of rain in March like they always do and melt all that nasty white C#@P for ya.
Don't think I'll be able to make it down that weekend.
That set up looks way better than any display they had at the Moncton show.

 

[Rocky]

Well, if I may toot my own horn a bit, we had one of the better displays - and probably the best club display. At least it attracted a lot of attention.
I'll add a few more bike pictures - and I'm taking you up on the melting snow

 

[Mad On Triumphs]

That BSA's a bit different. It's good that the bikes on display had some room between it and its neighbour, you see so many bike shows that cram as many bikes into the smallest area possible.

 

[Qship]

That 750 Kawi in the top pic was one of those dubbed the "widowmakers" wasn't it?

 

[Rocky]

That 750 Kawi in the top pic was one of those dubbed the "widowmakers" wasn't it?

Yes it is. Those were wicked bikes to ride.

That BSA was built to go for a speed record (for the engine size) at Loring Air Force Base in Northern Maine.
The owner went there last year, but couldn't pass the tech inspection I think it was.
He'll be going back again this year and I may be going along.
I think the record for the class is something like 80 - 90 mph.
