For the biggest and most important motorcycle show in the country, it’s really bizarre the cities that the International Motorcycle Shows<\/a> visit. And by the way, this year there is “Progressive” on the front of that name, whereas the past few years at least the first part of the name was “Cycle World.” New major sponsor, new name, presumably.<\/p>\n

\"ProgressiveBack to what I was saying. So what cities does the show visit? Nothing surprising in New York, Cleveland, Chicago, and those. But while you won’t see Kansas City, Phoenix, Denver, or anything west of the Mississippi other than the west coast, you do have Greenville, SC. Now what’s that all about? Greenville?<\/p>\n

Doesn’t matter, it works for me. I made the decision this year that if the IMS wasn’t going to come anywhere close to me, I would go to it. And conveniently enough, my mother lives just 40 miles from Greenville. So I arranged for my press pass, booked my flights, and told my mother I was coming to visit. And oh, don’t expect to see much of me because I’ll be spending all day for several days in a row at the show.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I will spend time with my mom, too. I’ll go down a couple days early and stay a couple days after the show. And I won’t have to pay for a hotel room. That helps.<\/p>\n

So this is just a heads-up. I’m absolutely certain I’ll have some interesting stories to tell you after this is all done. Check back in about six weeks.<\/p>\n
