Listener and show contributor Doug Kneissl shared his thoughts from his visit to the New York City International Motorcycle Show. Doug was kind enough to include a few pictures as well. Enjoy!

Thanks, Doug. We appreciate the time and effort very much.

Hi James & Chris,

Nice to hear my feedback on ep 100..thanks

Being my first motorcycle show I was pretty overwhelmed with everything there…the vendors and all the bikes.  We went up on Saturday – not sure if it made news in Delaware but we had a pretty good snow squall that day and driving to the city was an interesting to say the least.

We were there from about 10am – 4pm….after 1pm it really started to get crowded.

I was most interested in seeing the Victory bikes…the Hammer S felt like it was custom made for me sitting on it.  Triumph had some great bikes I had not seen before, the Steve McQueen limited edition bike we very sweet.  The Indian bikes were also very nice – if a little out of my price range.  It was motorcycle overload…Harley, Yamaha…Can-Am….oh my!

We spent a lot of time looking at the gear, though didn’t make any purchases as I’m not sure exactly what I may need/want…but as we get into the season in CT I’m sure I’ll be purchasing more gear in addition to the First Gear mesh jacket and Scorpion EXO-400 helmet and gloves I currently wear while riding.

The Smage Brothers Stunt show was pretty impressive, all the tricks they did in a very limited space.

Looking back I’m embarrassed to say I did not take a lot of pictures..too much to see and take in.

As we sat on many different bikes…and I start thinking of moving off my “beginner 1992 Yamaha Virago 750” and on to something newer and bigger….and trying to take in all that was offered from the vendors, it was a great time and I look forward to the next one.

Attached are a few pictures – the quality is not very good (iphone) you may post them if you like.

Regards,

Doug Kneissl (Nigh-sell    not  Nee-Sell…..no worries…everyone does it.)

No show this week, folks. Some vacation time, some busy work schedules and some general busy-ness in life kept us away from the microphones this week, but stay tuned next week; lots of feedback and discussion, and some information about the Barber trip coming up!

Look for us on Digg 4 if you’re there.

Well we’re late two weeks in a row. I know, we suck. Actually this one is all me. I’m extending my 4th of July weekend by a day and will post the new episode when I get back to a real computer. The iPhone is nice but it doesn’t do every thing.

Happy Independence Day!

I’ll have it edited and posted tomorrow. I’m sick as a dog adn am getting some sleep. See ya’ll tomorrow.

Please. Just stop.

We moderate every comment. All you’re doing is making me delete more of your comments BEFORE they ever see the light of day. Search bots won’t find them. They won’t slip through the cracks and the only thing you’re really causing is actual legitimate comments to be delayed while we weed through your crap.

Here’s another potentially useful iPhone app. I know I spend enough time searching BikeBandit.com. It would be pretty awesome to have the catalog at my fingertips like that. When is someone other then AT&T going to get the iPhone?
