Minneapolis Motorcycle Show, Jan 11-13 2013

There are vague and specific allusions to this in a few other threads, lets centralize a bit.

Progessive International Motorcycle Show
January 11-13, 2013

We have some people coming down from up north, over from 'sconnie, and the usuals from the Twin Cities area.

Couple of planned gatherings:

Some limey twit going to Brits Pub around noon Saturday
BMWMOCM and ADV gathering at Market BBQ Saturday night

What we seem to be missing is an early breakfast before the show Saturday... Any interest?

Yer not the boss of me :ddog

Put Barnyard in charge of that. he seems to like to eat.

I posted a suggestion in the meaty greety thread.

Is this supposed to be a pretty good show?

Not as big as Chicago, but pretty decent. Twin Cities peeps are worth the trip and there will be food and drink. If you're thinking of making the journey, someone will have a place for you to crash.

The exhibitor list is in the link, most major mfgrs and plenty of gear outlets and dealers. I don't know that it is great, but it is the best we have.

You can thank JJ for the link.

Key's could work. Open at 7am on Saturdays.

It's better than the Iowa City show, but not as good as Chicago.

Okay, I get it

I'd like to see the 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. dealies on Saturday.

A couple of us from up more North may be interested in breakfast but probally not till 8:30 at the earliest.

I'll be around in the afternoon on Saturday at the show, and then at Market BBQ later on. Seven or eight-ish at Market BBQ?

Sounds like no matter what time you show up, there will be some sort of meety greety,

There are a group of 4 of us coming down from Canada to the show Saturday, and we will be staying at the Hilton thats right by the show.
Were all 25-26, and wondering whats in the general area to do that evening after the show. Dinner somewhere, then we will be looking to get a gut full of beers
Any ideas?
Thanks
