Howdy all, just a quick note about this weekend’s International Motorcycle Show taking place at the Long Beach Convention center in Southern California. Whether you’re in the market for a new motorcycle or just looking to check out the hottest new rides, the Long Beach Motorcycle Show is the best place to get an up close and personal look at all of the models for the New Year including Ducati’s revamped Multistrada and the BMW S1000RR Superbike.
 
Not only that, the custom and racing scene will also have considerable presences with ultra-exclusive racing motorcycles including Valentino Rossi’s No. 46 Yamaha M1 MotoGP bike and James Stewart’s No. 7 Yamaha YZ450F Supercross bikes. Also on display is the JCR Honda CRF450X as raced in the recent Baja 1000 off-road race.
 
Motorcycle-USA has a presence toward the back of Yamaha’s display (booth 1924). Come on over and grab a fresh copy of MotoUSA Magazine featuring editor Atlas motoring on Josh Hayes No. 4 YZF-R1 American Superbike.
 
The show will be open Saturday from 9:30 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. and on Sunday from 9:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Admission is $15 at the door but if you purchase tickets online at www.motorcycleshows.com the price is reduced. If you can’t make it out to the show, make sure to check back Monday for a quick wrap-up from the show.
