Couple short interesting notes.

First, it's a patch per key : ) My S2 brought me to the show, so I had that one, and I brought my S1W key just in case. No problem. One patch for the jacket, one patch to keep "un-installed" so I can read and re-read the sticker. LOL. Thanks, Buell! : )

Second, the Buell displays were great. Bikes. Period. No gak, no crap, no distractions. DVD loop of the race videos we've all seen on a center tower and on corner towers. Uly on a lean stand. Stt on a wheelie stand. Bikes all around, all models. (2) 1125r's available to sit on. Cutaway 1125 on a pedestal next to the cutaway engine. Cutaway Firebolt next to that. Folks sitting, folks talking, staff smiling and talking to everyone. Nice setup.

Just about everyone had bikes on the floor for sitting.

Except Ducati. Theirs were all on tables. Hmmm. A little too "art-like" for my tastes. Nice bikes...but I was hoping to compare some ergos while I was there. <shrug> Guess not.

That's the patch : )

Almost reflective...but not quite. It's probably 4" wide from the wingtip to the far side of the circle where it says "Company". The staffers had them on their sleeves. I hadn't thought about it, but I'll probably put it on my sleeve too. I was planning just to put it on the back of the jacket, but....

i agree, buell both was great on saturday. had my key in my pocket, didn't realize there was any giveaway this year.....damn!

don't know what you saw but ducati had all it's bikes to sit on. i sat on the monster s2r, s4rs, 1098, new 848 and hypermotard....are you sure you went inside their display, the show bikes were on the outer walls. i actually thought the monsters were pretty comfortable. i still think i'd get an STT if i were really looking.

oh well great show!

I went to the show also and sat on just about every Ducati there. They were very accessible.

I guess that's what I get for looking at the perimeter of the Duc display, seeing everything on a stand...and not going "in". My bad : )

I'll be headed to Atlanta this weekend for the show.

I have so many jackets, I don't know which one I'd put a patch on.

I seem to be a collector of motorcycle gear. : )
