PIMS, Moved To June, Is On For 2021
Checking out a Harley at the 2020 PIMS in Denver.
The Progressive International Motorcycle Show (PIMS) will be held in Denver this year, albeit moved to June and held outdoors. This is going to be vastly different from other PIMS events and it could be pretty much fun.
The show will actually kick off in Denver, June 18-20, before moving on to places like Chicago, Nashville, and Atlanta. Originally scheduled in Denver for January, adaptation to the Covid-19 problem led the organizers to move things outdoors. This meant waiting for warmer weather. So June here.
Being outside in warm weather is going to open up a lot of possibilities that were not really options inside during the winter. This will include demo rides on the street, off-road demo rides, and stunt shows or races. Of course you’ll have the booths selling stuff and as in at least the last few years there will also be e-bicycles and the PIMS Discover The Ride opportunity for people who have never ridden to experience what it’s like.
Here’s the blurb from their website:
After 5 years in the making, the Progressive® International Motorcycle Shows is venturing outdoors to create the most immersive powersports event yet – IMS Outdoors, a tour of events across the United States, launching in Summer 2021.
The Progressive® IMS Outdoors invites riders and prospective riders of all ages and abilities out for a weekend to engage with powersports culture and explore related lifestyles in a festival-like atmosphere. Attendees will be able to ride 2 and 4-wheel vehicles, shop premier brands, watch entertainment and even camp overnight (in select cities); preparing them for more riding and adventures with family and friends.
Popular IMS attractions including, the Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show, IMS Vintage Garage, Discover The Ride and Adventure Out among others will be back for your enjoyment for the new IMS Outdoors events.
What they’re not telling us yet is where this will all happen. Last year was the first time the show came to Denver, at least in a long time, and it was held downtown at the convention center. That doesn’t seem to be the case this year, but where? We’ll see, and I’ll pass that info along as soon as I get it.
