    I'll be there Seppo. Hoping to ride down the few Km's on the bike :evil
    Might ask BMW Höglinger Denzel if they want to feature my bike on the stand. They'll probably say no :lol3

    g´day

    the bike show in linz takes place next weekend, from friday the 5th to sunday the 7th. its not very big, but i liked it last time i was there. their homepage is here, but only in german (as i said, not a very big event)

    some new bikes will be there, like the new honda vfr1200, bmw s1000rr, the new yamaha yz450 (said to be as revolutionary as the new bergs) and many other

    cheers

    Hi Seppo, sorry I missed your post. I was there today. I was the only motorcyclist that actually rode there. :huh

    when are you planning to go?

    I will post the photos soon once uploaded flickr. The semi naked lady photos might have to be emailed over :evil

    Cheers

    damn, i´ve been there yesterday to. the weatherforecast said snow for the weekend and i have to drive the snowplow then, so i decided yesterday morning to go on friday. had to take the cage (i don´t own one, took my mothers tiny peugeot), both of my bikes are currently not ready...
    how did you like it? i didn´t expect so many people, i mean, friday? don´t they have to work?
    pics will follow
    cheers

    That's a shame :cry. I went yesterday because some friends from Amstetten were going too. The event was OK if a little quiet. Then again I come from a tiny Island with 60 million people so being able to move freely without being trampled on is a new experience :lol3

    The quality of the ladies adorning the bikes I also thought was very good :evil

    The design centre is a good location. Warm and bright inside. The only down side is that the security staff said I had to pay for the car park. In the rest of the world parking is free for bikes. That should be especially so at a bike event and especially a bike event where there is snow on the ground and I'm the only biker that rode there :huh

    I could have parked up on the pavement but I didn't want trouble as an 800GS with British plates is easy to pick out.

    my photos are here

    nope, there will be no show in vienna this year. as far as i know, the organizers didn´t manage to book the "messehalle" early enough. the one in linz was the only one this year.
    cheers
