LIFE IN THE FAST LANE - CALGARY MOTORCYCLE SHOW

CALGARY, AB (December 16, 2014) – The Motorcycle Show – Calgary presented by Dalton Timmis Insurance takes place January 9-11, 2015 at the BMO Centre, Stampede Park. This premiere industry event will showcase the 2015 models from all the major manufacturers.
The 2015 Motorcycle Show – Calgary is not only the place to shop and compare all the makes and models but there is a huge selection of gear, apparel, and aftermarket accessories,” says Show Manager, Laurie Paetz, “the Show covers every conceivable aspect of riding, including clubs and associations, as well as Charity Rides and touring destinations, it is the must attend event for motorcycle enthusiasts of all ages.”
Although the 2015 models are sure to be crowd pleasers, many motorcycle enthusiasts are drawn to the classic beauty and ingenuity of some of the older motorcycles. These unique machines, many dating back as far as the early 1900’s, will be on display at the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Club exhibit. Proud owners have collected and restored these gems and love nothing more than to share their unique stories with interested show goers.
Friday January 9th is “SHE RIDES NITE” at the Motorcycle Show – Calgary. This is an evening geared to women who ride and those that are considering taking up the sport. Industry professionals will be on hand to provide advice and answer all your questions. This year we have a special guest appearance by Valerie Thompson, the seven-time land speed record holder. She is sure to inspire those who possess a need for speed. Women receive half price admission after 5:00 pm and one lucky lady will ride away on a 2015 Kawasaki EX300 valued at over $6,000, courtesy of Canadian Kawasaki, Blackfoot Motosports, Pro AM Motorcycles and Bow Cycle.
