Niagara Motorcycle Show Ripoff

maltesefalcon · #1 21st July 2012

Just got back from this so-called "event".

I know it was a lot of work and it's the first one but...

If you advertise on your website over 250 vendors then they had better be there if you are charging 20 bucks to get in.

There were maybe 40 booths there and of that only about 2/3 were directly relating to motorcycles. If you came for a massage or an elk horn chew toy you were good to go. Otherwise there were (a lot) more vendors in Dover last week for free as well as a good selection of custom bikes.

And the premier floor space was taken up by a wire walker and a bunch of martial arts demos. Sorry but WTF!

If they depend on word of mouth to expand for next year I think they'll be in trouble. I doubt if anyone who came to this non-event will come back.

Ouch...

$20 at the door I would've expected strippers...

I've been burned numerous times before be it gunshows, carshows, bike shows, etc...it's a crapshoot it seems like.
