IMS in ATL

[WBNiner]

Just got back from the IMS in ATL and WOW it was alot of fun. Went to the show friday afternoon and also found time to visit Moto Britalia, BMW Atlanta, Bid Daddy's in Fayettville and Black Jack's Victory. Had a great time! The show was alot of fun. I was disappointed that Aprillia and Moto Guzzi were not there, but it was alot of fun. A few observations... the Speed Triple and Sprint ST from Triumph were sweet! They were roped off so all you could do is look. The new BMW sport bike was there and was much much cooler in person than in the rags. I can't even begin to describe all the bikes there... if you can go I would highly recommend it! One of the best things though was that I was able to sit on all kinds of bikes, but walked away very happy with the stable that I have! Here are 2 of the IMS Honeys at the show.... I do think I could have taken one of them home with me and started another type of stable! :D

Guzzi and Aprilia were at the D.C. IMS, but I was enormously disappointed they didn't have a Breva 1100 or Griso. Supposedly, Guzzi HQ grabbed the Breva 1100 back from the show after the second IMS because they had some other show in Italy they wanted it for. Apparently they're that rare that they only have the one? Good grief.
Still the MGS-01 Corsa was stunning.
Aprilia's bikes are really sweet, and the Tuono is so tempting.
Hope you get to catch them at a future show.
