iStock_000002263132XSmall.jpgWhen it's time to think about putting your bike away for the winter, it's time to start thinking about projects for the spring. I'm always considering my next bike purchase, and I'm always thinking about what parts and accessories I might need to add to my current ride. So, every winter, I make sure to attend the International Motorcycle Show.

Harley-Davidson always has a major presence at the show, and this year I'm looking forward to sitting on the new Road Glide Ultra to try it on for size. I'm shopping for a new helmet right now, and the International Motorcycle Show is the only place I know of where I can try on multiple helmets from multiple manufacturers and talk with the helmet makers about their wares. There's usually a vendor's area at the show as well, where various motorcycle gear and accessories are available for purchase. I have dropped a pretty penny at several shows, and I expect to run across a few must-have items again this year.

This year's show is sponsored by Progressive Insurance. In the past, the show has been sponsored by Cycle World Magazine. The Progressive International Motorcycle Show will make twelve stops for 2010 - 2011:

Nov 12-14, 2010: Dallas, Texas

If you don't live within commuting distance of any of the locations, consider an overnight stay at a BEST WESTERN Hotel, and make a weekend of it. Most of the show locations are in city centers, with BEST WESTERN locations nearby.
