Everything you need to know about The Progressive International Motorcycle Show!
Plus Five Things You Must See at the Show!
We
just got back from the Long Beach stop of the Progressive International
Motorcycle Show, and we had a great time. We’ll be exhibiting at next
week’s show in Seattle as well, and we hope to see you there. We don’t
want you to miss any detail about the show, so we’re here to give you
the scoop on the event and what to expect when attending on any of the
three days.
What is the Event All About? The
International Motorcycle Show has been showcasing the latest motorcycle
models from every major manufacturer for over 30 years. Additionally,
the show features the latest motorcycle, ATV, and scooter accessories.
The event also features action demonstrations, seminars, and
awe-inspiring displays of historic motorcycles and memorabilia.
Who is Hosting on the Event? The
International Motorcycle Show, sponsored by Progressive, is produced by
Advanstar—the world’s largest powersport trade show and convention
company. You may recognize Advanstar as the publisher of Dealernews, one
of the motorcycle industry’s leading trade magazines!
Where is the Show Taking Place, and How Much Does it Cost? The
show is happening December 14-16, 2012 at the Washington State
Convention Center in Seattle. You can save 25% on one-day tickets
