2009 Cycle World International Motorcycle Show

I went to the show in Greenville SC last weekend.
Lots of old stuff as well as all the current production models.
Here's a bunch of pictures. Enjoy!

Tommi Ahvala was there. Trials are amazing and fascinating to watch. I miss my TLR200.

I sat on this bike. It is SO HIGH! I am 5-8 with a 30" inseam, my feet werent even close to the ground.

In my opinion this is one of the few cool Harleys. Used to be a European model only but 09 is the first year for US sales.

250CC Sincle cylinder road racer. For kids. Where was this when I was just a wee lad?

I thought Johnny Campbell raced CRF-450X now like the one in the picture?

This is also my favorite 2009 Harley model. I can never get used to the foot-in-the-air position of the stock Harley. I'm hoping to pick one up cheap at the end of the year as a leftover model, except all the local dealers are sold out of their allotment
