This amazing and stylish guest bike can be seen in the Canadian Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum display. Doug attends the SUPERSHOW each year stating that it is "the best Motorcycle Show in North America". Having recently acquired the new Tamburini, Doug is bringing it to the Show for Canadian enthusiasts to see this beautiful, technologically advanced piece of engineering.

And yet another feature exclusive to the SUPERSHOW, Motorcycle journalist and author, Max Burns will officially launch his latest book, "These are a few of my Favourite Roads". His motorcycling adventures, along with plenty of photos, maps and a sources section, fill 224 pages of what Burns has subtitled "The most expedient route to cross, and see, Canada slowly". Max is a special guest of the Canadian Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum display in Hall 3. Show attendees can meet Max all three days of the SUPERSHOW and pick up a personally signed copy of his new book.

SUPERSHOW 2006, in conjunction with the Guelph Plastic Modellers Group, will hold a Motorcycle Scale Model Display and Contest, with judging in six classes. In addition to the contest for finished pieces there will also be demonstrations of building techniques to show the detail that goes into building these intricate works of art. A 1:16 replica of Rueben McMurter's 1983 Honda VFR750R Superbike will be on display along with Rueben's actual race bike, owned by the SUPERSHOW Collection and on display in the Canadian Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum exhibit.
