Vancouver Motorcycle Show

  I'm not usually a big bike show fan but with the Vancouver Motorcycle Show taking place down the road from me at Abbotsford's Tradex I really didn't have an excuse to not go and check things out. Plus, Dusty Klatt was staying at my place since he would be signing autographs at the show for Yamaha and Chris from Kawasaki asked me if I'd take some shots of their Team Green bike presentation so I figured there'd be enough moto content to make it worthwhile.

Though the majority of the show caters to the street crowd, all the big 5 manufacturers had enough dirt bike content to satisfy the hardcore motocross fan. Here's a few moto related shots from the show....

 Dusty Klatt gives two thumbs up to his ultra cool, Damon Bradshaw inspired bike that he raced at this years Montreal Supercross.

 There was a supermoto exhibition outside in the parking lot and Brock Hoyer showed everyone the fast line around the course on his KX250F.

 Nickalis O'Connor scopes out the competition for his dad, Monster Energy Leading Edge Kawsaki Team Manager, Pat O'Connor.

 Kawasaki had one of their Factory Rider for a Day bikes on display in the Motovan booth.

 Honda was showing off Kyle Keast's arenacross bike.

 Hoyer was signing autographs over at the Kawasaki booth.

 Though he's going to be 450 mounted in 2011, Kawasaki had a Teddy Maier replica 250F on display in their booth.

 Canadian Kawasaki sales manager, Claude Gagne, presented new 250F's to the two Team Green riders who scored the most points over the course of the past season, Trevor Pearson(r) and Jess Pettis(l).

 Hoyer also did a little mini supermoto demo during the evening.

It didn't go as well as on the big bike.
