IMS Denver - LongRanger_imp - 01-16-2020
After what seems like a 15 year absence, the Progressive International Motorcycle Show is returning to the Denver Convention Center this coming weekend. Woohoo!

Well, that was kind of disappointing. Very small show (one-half of one exhibit hall), only the 4 Japanese brands and HD, nothing from Europe, and a big Cycle Gear marketplace. Bought another pair of custom molded earplugs but nothing else caught my fancy. Hopefully they'll be back next year, even bigger and better.

Sorry to hear that. I went to one of these in the Portland, OR area about 4 years ago and it was lots of fun, almost too much to see, felt like I had been to one of those fancy museums that makes your head start spinning after 3,4 hours.

Yep. I used to attend the Long Beach, CA show when I lived in San Diego and it was a massive event. The Denver show used to be fairly large, too, before it was discontinued in the mid-2000’s.

Same- I attended the Progressive IMS @ the Miami Beach Convention ctr. back in 2014 and the thing was massive. I still remember being struck seeing the H2R in person as well as "riding" the HD Livewire on the dyno setup
