Spring Motorcycle Show Press Releases

Motorcycle Racer Jason DiSalvo, Winner of the Daytona 200, visits Toronto, April 9 & 10.

In one of the wildest finishes ever in the 70-year history of the famed 200 mile race, Batavia, NY rider Jason DiSalvo made a dramatic last lap pass on the race leader to earn his and Ducati’s first win in the Daytona 200. Early on in the race, the engine in his Ducati failed and Jason thought he was out of the race but a red-flag race stoppage at about the same time gave his team enough time to swap engines, continue the race and, incredibly, to snag the win.

Jason's brand new DiSalvo Racing Academy riding school, which opens April 22nd at Talladega Grand Prix track in Alabama will certainly gain a higher profile now that it's being run by a Daytona 200 winner.

DiSalvo will be at the Spring Motorcycle Show on both days and will participate as a guest speaker in the Canadian Road Racers Safety Summit being held on Saturday at the Show.

The Official Magazine of the Spring Motorcycle Show, International Motorcycle, will feature Jason on its cover making it a keeper as attendees will no doubt have their copy (free with admission) signed by him while they're at the Show.

The Toronto Spring Motorcycle Show runs Saturday, April 9th from 10am to 9pm, and Sunday, April 10th from 10am to 5pm. The International Centre is located at 6900 Airport Road. Admission is $16 for adults; $5 for youths under 12, free for children under 6, and parking is free.

The Vintage 'Bikes of the Century' Display will feature significant bikes from invited clubs & private owners as well as Vincent Motorcycles from the Bar Hodgson Collection including the world's most famous Vincent, "Gunga Din".

From vintage and touring bikes, to street bikes and wild customs there are over 30 classes in the competition with $5,000 going to the "Best Bike in Show". With judging on the Builders Class now being done by the IMBBA (International Master Bike Builders Association) new wild creations from some of Canada’s top builders and shops are expected to be vying for the top prize.

This year's Door Prize is a new Suzuki DR-Z70 dirt bike provided by Suzuki of Newmarket to be drawn on stage, Sunday, April 10th at the Show. Admission to the Spring Motorcycle Show includes a complimentary copy of International Motorcycle Magazine and a ballot for the door prize.
