Bummer! I haven't been able to ride since September when I failed to negotiate a curve and launched my Triumph Rocket III off the side of one of those nlittle Ozark mountains in Arkasas. Still waiting to finish repairs non the bike and my torn ACL ;)

The International Motorcycle Show in Dallas today was kind of mundane. No real new innovation...Victory's gone to market with their electric bike, but it's not really ground breaking. Triumph, Moto Guzzi, and most of the European brands weren't there except for BMW and KTM.

Harley, Honda, Yamaha all had nothing new to speak of. Indian was really the only brand with exciting new product, namely the Scout 60.

So don't feel like you missed out on anything big this year.

There are no 30.xx signs posted, not even a gun buster sign. I didn't get a second glance at the door or from any LEOs the whole time I was limping around in there on my busted knee with a polished steel .45 on my hip.

I open carried at the International Motorcycle Show today. Had a few guys approach and shake my hand as they lamented that they didn't open carry for fear of ridicule but they appreciated me exercising my "right". And one fellow from out of state who asked to take a picture with me so he could annoy his left leaning relatives.

All positive interactions.
