If you've never been, it's a lot of fun and there are restored / original Japanese bikes in the show as well.
Ironically Stichill, here in the PNW, a good percentage of the plaid wearing coffee-sipping hipsters are really into wrenching on, riding and racing vintage bikes. Check out some of of these links and it's not hard to figure out that these guys are very much into motorcycles, just in their own way. This is one reason I'll never find a good deal on an unmolested 1970 CB350 like my dad used to own. Finding one that hasn't been modified is hard enough and if I did, it sure won't be selling for for anything near a reasonable price, lol.

I've been to this show a number of times, it's amazing how much it has grown. I believe they've branched out to other cities with this show as well, Austin maybe?

The guy who started See See is the the same guy that put together The One Show. The coffee shop makes for a good meeting spot with other forum members who are passing through town.

I could find plenty of others, but the point is that there are plenty of young folks around here that are into bikes and when it comes to the coffee-sipping, plaid wearing hipsters in this city, vintage motorcycles are seemingly where it's at. That's fine by me.
What does all of this have to do with this thread? Well, I can't see too many of these guys flocking into Victory showrooms over the past few years. I'll run into these guys at the local dealer parts counters but not so much out on the showroom floor.
Hey, I still think that Indian should do some sort of a street tracker bike, Harley too for that matter, lol.
That's for sure. My sister used to live in Portland and the first thing I noticed when I visited was the unusual number of classic bikes on the streets. I was amazed. I always figured the CB1100 was a natural fit there.
