Saturday Morning General Moto News - A Show, A Man and a Bike

First we will start with the show. In Toronto at the International Centre during 15 - 17 January 2010, the International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW will have 7 halls dedicated to various motorcycle disciplines including cruisers, customs, racing, and much more. It seems to be a very large event which gets only basic press coverage here in the US. If you live nearby, though, you should go and check it out! All manufacturers should have a presence there and there will be vendors from all over North America and elsewhere.

And, now on to the man; Julian Ryder, Eurosport MotoGP commentator and longtime motorcycle journalist, will be making an appearance at English dealer Tippetts Honda for a night of conversation about the MotoGP broadcasting experience. Tickets are only £5 and they are limited, so get yours quickly. Ryder is always worth listening to and he has a way with words...

And now on to the bike - it is the Buell 1125CR, believe it or not, and it is the hottest selling 1000c.c.+ motorcycle in all of the United Kingdom for December. I guess we can say that all of the dealers cutting the price in half have had an effect. If you can get yourself a Buell, this is the time to do it as they are dirt cheap and they are, in fact, full of great tech. You should also not have a problem with spares as Harley-Davidson has promised to keep parts stocked for a long while.
