Stopped in at the Expo after a ride in the hills today. I have to say it's not anywhere near as good as it could be. The UK motorcycle show takes up far more space than the whole of the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, however, we only got half of the building as there was a dorky gamers show on too!

There were the usual suspects, but very little in the way of clothing sales or after market parts, and the scantilly clad brolly babes were a bit thin on the ground too.

Took a couple of pics...

THE AMCN long term test ZRX was on show, nice and shiney too - probably needs to be ridden more :twisted:

Amongst other things, Kawasaki had the scaled down ZX10 on show, in the form of the 09 ZX6

I believe a member here had their ZX14 on show with some flash paintwork, a stretched back end and one of the worlds widest motorcycle tyres

KTM gave us a look at the KTM superbike, as during the races it was so far back it didn't get shown much.

To Keep Ponti happy there was plenty of polishing happening.

After seeing the polishing I went in search of the brolly dollies, and finally found

Hey Corey, Hope your missus wasnt there!!! I was there Sat as well, must say she was a pretty cool chick that one :D .
Probably get shot down here for saying this but did you get a shot of the Triumph Street Triple (Type R), I sat on that, and thought this thing is mighty fine!
We were there from 10am to 1pm, should come down to the Kwaka ride day next sat mate, was thinking about riding down.
