Yea...I held off on the Saturday am trip I had planned on taking...was thinking of holding off until Sunday...couple friends of mine went and said the show overall was a good time but a bit of a disappointment...so I stayed home and watched the Baltimore Ravens beat the Titans for a ticket to the AFC championship game...:thumbsup::thumbsup::beerchug::beerchug:

Well, congrats on your win, but I must say that I think the Ravens will meet more than their match in Pittsburgh. :evil:

Best of luck...to Pittsburgh!

PS: I'm a Raiders fan that still holds a grudge against the Ravens for Siragusa taking Gannon out with a dirty play to the ground. :beerchug:

Ended up going Sunday about 11 with my son. Sorry I missed you folks, but there will be better opportunities when it gets warm outside.

Haven't been to one of these shows in 6 years and, to be honest, nothing has changed at all except the bikes on the floor. A couple good bargains, but nothing you can't do as well online.

In a lot of ways, this show is just like getting to see a dealer for each and every brand (except BMW! unless I missed it). Unlike a dealer, you can sit on just about any bike you want. Like the Ducati 1098 with a claimed 180 hp and only 364 lbs. Yep, that should run with a Busa, and certainly out-handle it in the twisties. But then I could buy two Busas for the price of one Ducati, and the Suzook is practically zero-maintenance compared to any Ducati.

Sat on just about everything interesting, like the Buell 1125 - whoa - that would be a serious hooligan machine and a pretty good bargain compared to the Ducati above. The Kawi 600 has a redline of 18,000 rpm. Holy cripes!

And of course the new Busas. Saw a lot of other great bikes, but really liked the new Busa. Had never noticed the flowing lines in thenew tail hump - they really show in the silver model. Had a couple other nice details that had passed me before. :beerchug:

- Cheers, AJ

Yeah, Al is the biggest problem we have right now, and probably for years to come. If it's up to me, he's gone the second he moved the team to LA years ago. Of course, it ain't up to me. :(

Timonium Mid-Atlantic Bike Show Thread

Figured creating a seperate thread for specific events will allow this thread to remain a bit cleaner as more of a "notification" thread with links to thread for specific events. If you're interested in the Timonium show, post up in the following thread. Hope to see y'all there! :beerchug:

That's whats up! I am tryin to roll with a crew of Busa Riders to make our presence felt in Baltimore-DC Area. Hyabusas are the flagship motorcycle with the most "street cred" & I'm ready to represent the official way. I look forward to future posts. Ya'll stay up.

bump!

errr what is the law on Side way plates in Maryland?

legal? illegal? who cares?
Click to expand...

Don't know for sure, but there's nothing mentioned on the AMA site for MD laws: Maryland state motorcycle laws

My :twocents:, I would stick with standard mounting orientation to ensure that you're in compliance everywhere. Wouldn't wanna wind up with trouble b/c you traveled to a state with a different view on the law than you're home state.

Best of luck!
 
I believe its horizontal and center with bike. BUT I had a swingarm vetical plate mounted on the end of the swingarm for 6 mo and not issues...MY current location is even more hidden now than that was.
