Cleveland IMS Show
- Harley Davidson was demonstrating how to pick up a bike from a dropped position
- Honda was pushing the new Rebel
- No Moto Guzzi, so Zyon could not check out the Flying Fortress
- Victory was there, but they were pushed into the Polaris tent with Slingshots
- Don't expect much from Victory to make it to Indian save for may the engine from the Octane
- Don't expect to see a Victory bike with an Indian badge
- BMW bikes caught Zyon's eye and sat on a few
- R6 is a beautifully bike and the front looks angry. Zyon is not a street bike person, but this one he liked
- Talked to Rinehart and off-record said parts would still be coming out and will be legal in 49 states.
- There was custom sport bike that was streched. It has a box with a scorpion living in it.
- Zero electric bikes was at show, but no one in area looking at bikes. Feel that electric bikes are more the California
