Not an ATV show by any means!!!!
Waste of money for anything to show of any ATV related news. Saw of 3 ATVs total and nothing showed of trail memberships. More of a bike show.
A request of not permitting an ATV on advertising, when there was nothing really evident.
Very severe false advertising is shown

Why does the Related Link say happy “New Year 2017”? Am I stuck in a time warp?

Tell you what, when I see these videos of guys riding their big-bore bikes through the hoi polloi of the developing world, I often wonder if they feel like an absolute boob on their $20k machines. Only time I’ve been in that scenario, I was riding a 50 cc scooter and I was still faster than at least half the vehicles on the road. I felt it made me a lot more approachable by locals, and I didn’t feel quite as much like mid-career Smedley Butler.

We are spoiled in the first world. I was recently in Costa Rica and noted that almost all bikes were 150cc singles. I went into a Yamaha store and found out why. The Yamaha 150 was $4,000 US!! The MT-03 was $12,000 US!! All from taxes and such on a “luxury” bike like a 300cc twin. At Blackfoot in Calgary I can get a new “Motorcycle Show Special” 2018 R3 for $4,000 loonies!! Our bikes are dirt cheap. I can get a mint, barely used Ninja 300 for less than $2,500. Awesome bike, I own one. We all want a Ninja 400, hence I cannot give my 300 away. It is not mint, it has helped several beginners learn to ride. It has helped me improve my skills, in my hands there are no remaining chicken strips, a first ever for me. In Canada it is derided as a “beginner” bike, in Costa Rica I would be a rock star. Cam
