Photo Tour of the Int'l Motorcycle Show at Qwest Field Event Center

This weekend, the Progressive International Motorcycle Show has roared into the Qwest Field Event Center; it's $15 for a day's admission, $6 for kids. An attendee of previous years says the rolling stock on the floor is skimpier than before, but the collections of custom and antique bikes make for a fun hour or two of viewing in their own right. It's fun to eavesdrop on gearheads making scathing remarks about the custom jobs: "He couldn't have picked a worse carburetor for that bike." Besides bikes, there's an army of vendors selling everything from leathers and helmets to brake systems and touring accessories. Off in another wing, there's a live stunt show, if you get anxious for the smell of burnt rubber and the whine of high rpms.
