2011 Toronto Spring Motorcycle Show
Post-Show Report

Another Record Breaking Spring Motorcycle Show!

*We've got some exciting news about the dates for next year's Spring Show so please check back soon*

This year's Daytona 200 Winner, Jason DiSalvo, was on hand at the Spring Motorcycle Show in the GP Bikes booth in Hall 1 to meet race fans and sign autographs. This was Jason's first win in the Daytona 200 and it was also the first win ever for a Ducati Motorcycle so it was a double victory and it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

The activity around the Indian Motorcycle display was incredible, with showgoers checking out the complete 2011 new model line-up and taking advantage of the great show prices on Indian apparel. The display looked great!

The Spring Motorcycle Show really is the best place to check out the new model motorcycles as well as non-current sale priced bikes and used bikes, and the best way to 'shop' is with a few of your motorcycling friends!

You're bound to find the motorcycle that is the perfect one for you!

Master of Ceremonies, Pat Gonsales, interviews Jean Poitras of the Rat Shop, winner of the top prize in the $20,000 custom motorcycle competition, right after presenting the awards for the top three finishers on stage.

The bike you have been dreaming of is probably at the Spring Show!

Some wild machinery was on display in the Stunters Inc. display in Hall 6. A lot of people caught their live stunt demos on CP24 on the day before the Show opened. It was a no-limits thrill show that impressed everyone.

Live Music was provided by the Noble Truths both days on the stage in Hall 6. They sounded great and added to the party atmosphere of the custom showbike hall.

The legendary "Gunga Din" was on display in the Bikes of the Century Display. One of the rarest motorcycles in the world, it's a treat to see this Vincent Factory Development motorcycle up close and personal.

Spring Show 2011 Special Guest and internationally recognized airbrush artist Ron Gibbs demonstrated his airbrushing skills as he worked on his Marlon Brando 'Wild Ones' portrait over the weekend. Ron had samples of both his pinstriping and airbrush work (canvases and the his Interstate Battery custom motorcycle) in his booth. Special thanks to Brian Busby for putting the display together.

Alisha Lynn is becoming a regular at the Spring Motorcycle Show. She was on hand this year on the Kon's Garage booth and was happy to pose with the gorgeous, one-of-a-kind custom motorcycles that were on display in their booth.

The GoLo Racing booth in Hall 2 was a terrificly entertaining area of the Show with live music, give-aways and of course the GoLo Girls helping out.

The leather fashion shows by Terez, aptly named "Leather It Up For Spring!", were a big hit on the Hall 6 stage, showcasing fashions for the whole family. Thanks to Terez and all the models, and to Lucy Loren for coordinating all the performances.

The term 'Eye Candy' certainly applies here. Just one of the many spectacular custom motorcycles on display and competing for awards and cash in the Spring Show's showbike competition.

Some special treasures came out for the vintage bike area this year, including this 1914 Harley-Davidson 10E model. A beautiful restoration that ended up taking the award for Best Vintage Bike in Show. Congratulations to Don Hart for this entry.

Champion Cycle went all out to put together an incredible display of over a dozen custom sport bikes. They continue to impress and inspire sport bike riders who know the extensive work that goes into fully customizing these motorcycles.
