Motorcycle Show

This weekend there was a Motorcycle Show in Sacramento, so being a motorcycle owner I thought I would drop in and see what it was all about. Of course, I am a BMW owner and the show was almost entirely Harley Davidson's and custom motorcycles - not the kind of bikes that appeal to BMW owners.


I just don't get the custom motorcycle thing - sure some of them are amazing feats of construction and they are perhaps wonderful to look at but they are not built for comfort and not for speed and there's no way they can be safe. Of course I admit, I was in the minority here. There was hardly a BMW owner to be seen; just noisy Harleys all over town this weekend (I don't get the noisy bike thing either - the quiet purr of my engine is much more appealing). And yes the bikes weren't the only interesting sights - the riders and their partners were equally 'interesting' but I am afraid I need to find a BMW show, that would be more my style.
