They had a 1912 Standard electric car in there that was something and looked in beautiful condition.<br /><br />And I would be inclined to agree, the motorcycle industry is just serving up the same thing over and over. Nothing out there right now as a current release holds much interest.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-25733406103291871972015-04-19T10:37:10.333-07:002015-04-19T10:37:10.333-07:00Thank you Geoff.

The owners of those cars must have deep pockets.<br />On the "decline" of motorcycle shows, I think it is all exciting when you first get into motorcycles and you visit a show but the "decline" comes because you sort of realise over time that there is nothing new to see. The industry just keeps dishing up the same stuff. Anyway, that's just my opinion.Flyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11304812333120293988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-85086049933867727382015-04-16T16:36:32.951-07:002015-04-16T16:36:32.951-07:00Superb photos and layout Brandy!

Two vendors - our northwest KTM rep and a Washington off-road training course guy were the only two to talk. With everyone else you just felt like you were interrupting while they were texting their besties.<br /><br />It was $15 each to get in the show, you think they'd at least try and engage with the patrons. I was really interested in the Rev'it booth as I could use a new jacket and they are the only ones with sleeves long enough. They had one women's jacket and no one to help us.<br /><br />While we expected it to be smaller than the Progressive International Show we were disappointed at just how sparse it was. Ducati didn't even have a Scrambler there. Instead of brands present it was more or less local dealers with bikes for sale.<br /><br />They apparently had demo bikes available for guided rides if you wanted to ride the busy roads of Seattle by the Space Needle on a Saturday afternoon. Um, no.<br /><br />Just an odd feeling.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-23795308872601754292015-04-15T20:12:52.613-07:002015-04-15T20:12:52.613-07:00I think wow can be a color.

It was kind of a sea foam color in person. It is on loan to the museum from a private collection.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-54919993743712522372015-04-15T17:45:20.672-07:002015-04-15T17:45:20.672-07:00Nice bike pictures.
