The International Motorcycle Show will be heading to 7 cities starting January 3, 2014. This is a family friendly event with something to do for everyone. It’s also a perfect way for those looking to purchase a motorcycle, ATV, dirt bike, Side X Side, watercraft or UTV the opportunity to sit on one from a number of different manufacturers all in one location. Best of all, it’s a warm place to hang out with other motorcycle enthusiasts during the cold winter months.
The cities hosting the International Motorcycle Show and their respective dates are as follows:
Novi, Michigan Jan 3 – Jan 5
Washington, DC Jan 10 – Jan 12
Minneapolis, MN Jan 17 – Jan 19
Phoenix, AZ Jan 24 – Jan 26
Cleveland, OH Jan 31 – Feb 2 (Superbowl Party or International Motorcycle Show? – even though we love bikes – Superbowl Party!)
Chicago, IL Feb 7 – Feb 9
Seattle, WA Feb 14 – Feb 16 (nice way to spend Valentine’s Day)
Ok, so maybe February 2nd and February 14th are out – but that still leaves two other days on those weekends.
