During this wild weather we've been having, bikers and scooterists from all over Michigan (and northern Ohio) have been dreaming of getting back on the road. That may or may not be possible this weekend, but there is something going on for us - Yes, the Progressive International Motorcycle Show returns to the Suburban Collection Showcase in Novi this weekend!
The mid-winter tradition continues with an unbeatable line-up of manufacturer displays, fascinating seminars and local and national vendors with some show specials that might be just the thing to get you through winter.
After the best attendance in years last year, the show is back and better than ever, with better manufacturer representation, local exhibitors and the same fun, food and drink that the Suburban Showcase offers. Don't forget the seminars, as real-world, useful knowledge is on offer. I can personally vouch for the Advanced Riding Techniques seminars - well worth admission right there!
Here's the confirmed manufacturer presence for this weekend:
- BMW
- BRP/Can-Am
- Ducati
- Harley Davidson
- Honda
- Hyosung
- Kawasaki
- KTM
- Star
- Triumph
- Yamaha
This represents an improvement over last year, so there will be plenty of new bikes and scoots to check out. Plus the customs, displays and interactive activities that were so popular last year.
The show hours are as follows:
- Friday, February 1, 3:00-8:00
- Saturday, February 2, 9:30-8:00
- Sunday, February 3, 9:30-4:00 (and remember that Sunday is family day, with kids under 11 getting free admission with a paid adult admission)
