MONTREAL MOTORCYCLE SHOW: 34 000 STRONG: RIDERS FROM ACROSS QUEBEC ARE GEARED UP FOR ANOTHER GREAT RIDING SEASON!

Montreal, March 2 2016 – The 2016 edition of The Montreal Motorcycle Show, presented by La Capitale General Insurance, finished strong on Sunday, boasting a 1.7% increase in attendance and welcoming 34,000 visitors from across the province.  “With close to 200 exhibitors, the Montreal Motorcycle Show is always a great get-together and celebration!” says Bianca Kennedy, Show Manager.  “The Show is the first real indication that spring is on its way!  It’s the perfect way to kick-off another great riding season.  The countdown to March 15th – the first official riding day in Quebec – is now on!”

In addition to all the new 2016 models unveiled by the major manufacturers, a number of local builders were also on-hand, showing off their latest projects and designs.  Their bobbers, cafe racers, choppers and vintage rebuilds definitely caught the crowds’ attention and brought a new wave of riders through the show’s doors.  In total, over 500 vehicles were on display – no shortage of eye-candy for riders of all levels, styles and categories, and of course, all the latest gear, apparel and equipment to outfit riders from head to toe.  The conferences hosted by Eric Menard, were well attended and the new motorized trials demos were a real crowd pleaser.  Eye Ride, a virtual reality test ride at the BMW Motorrad booth, was also a very popular attraction.

With more and more women discovering the fun, excitement, freedom and camaraderie of riding, it’s no surprise that this year’s She Rides Nite was such a success.  The highlight of the night was a ladies-only motorcycle draw for a 2016 Ninja 300, courtesy of Kawasaki Canada and Excel Moto.  “Ladies Night is a celebration of women who ride, and the perfect opportunity for motorcycle-curious ladies to take the first step or the next step in their riding adventure” states Bianca Kennedy.  “We are thrilled to see so many women embracing the sport.”  More than 1000 women attended She Rides Nite – a 13% increase over last year!

As always, the Yamaha Riding Academy was also a popular activity for kids of all ages.  More than 200 of the show’s pint-sized visitors got suited up in the latest motocross gear and took a few smile-inducing laps around the youth-friendly track.

The next edition of the Montreal Motorcycle Show is confirmed for February 24-26, 2017 at the Palais des congres!  See you next year!

A STRONG 2016 MODEL LINE-UP, POPULAR FEATURES AND GOOD WEATHER RESULTS IN SOLID CROWDS FOR MOTORCYCLE SHOW-TORONTO

TORONTO, ON (February 29, 2016) – The 2016 Motorcycle Show-Toronto presented by Dalton Timmis Insurance, took place at the Enercare Centre, Exhibition Place, February 19 to 21.

The show started with large crowds for the noon opening on Friday. Many enthusiasts took advantage of the good weekend weather to ride their bikes to the show and enjoy the free motorcycle parking. This, plus several popular features, and consumer interest in the strong line-up of new 2016 models resulted in over 29,000 people attending the three-day show – an increase of 5% over 2015.

Friday night featured She Rides Nite, with half-price tickets for ladies after 5:00 PM, free parking for all and highlighted by a prize give-away of a brand new 2016 Kawasaki Ninja, provided by Canadian Kawasaki, Snow City Cycle and Ready Powersports.

In addition to the 500+ motorcycles, ATVs, side-by-sides and scooters on display, there was plenty for show-goers to see and do all weekend long.

Team Empire wowed the crowds with their unique and exciting stunt demonstrations, and the OPP’s precision riding team, The Golden Helmets, drew rave reviews from fans all weekend long.

For the first time at the Toronto show, Harley-Davidson’s “Jumpstart” display revved-up crowds as they were able to feel the engine fire-up and hear that unforgettable sound.

BMW Motorrad debuted their new VR riding experience, Eye Ride,  allowing participants to enjoy all of the fabulous reasons to ride – the view, the sound, the feeling…on-road, off-road and at the race track.

The always popular Yamaha Riding Academy was busy providing kids 6 – 12 years old with an opportunity to ride – a first riding experience for many of the children. It was fully booked and busy throughout the weekend sessions. Clinton Smout’s Yamaha “How To” seminars taught riders how to navigate some of the challenging obstacles they might encounter along the way.

The weekend was capped off with our Grand Prize Draw on Sunday afternoon. Thanks to Triumph Motorcycles, GP Bikes and Sturgess Cycles, as well as Q107, our grand prize winner went home with a new 2016 Triumph Street Twin.

Show Manager, Neil Fardy said “Beautiful weather all weekend long sure did encourage the crowds of people to get out and enjoy the show. I really think that everyone, whether they were experienced or new riders were feeling that “itch” to get out on the road.  I know I was. And the chance to win one of the two new motorcycles being awarded on the weekend was certainly a bonus, and a highlight for those attending the show”.

NO SHORTAGE OF EXCITEMENT AT THE MONTREAL MOTORCYCLE SHOW SPRING IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!

Montreal, February 17, 2016 – Running February 26 to February 28 at the Palais des congres, the Montreal Motorcycle Show promises to channel spring and the start of the 2016 riding season.

Motorcycle fans are about to make their yearly pilgrimage to the show, whether they’re admiring the newest models on display, checking out this year’s clothing and accessories, viewing custom bikes, attending conferences or simply chatting with others who share their passion for riding. This show isn’t just for experienced riders – plenty of activities are planned that will appeal to the entire family. Here are a few of the attractions you won’t want to miss:

Start them Young!

At the Yamaha Riding Academy, children ages 6 to 12 can test their riding skills at no cost to mom and dad. Suited up in the latest motocross protective gear, young riders are sure to enjoy their free 15-minute session on a Yamaha TT-R off-road minibike in an environment that’s both fun and totally safe, under the watchful eye of certified instructors.

Eye Ride, a genuine BMW experience

Virtual reality rolls into the Show with the new and innovative Eye Ride technology. Stop by the BMW Motorrad Canada booth for a chance to experience this first ever virtual test ride. Wearing specially designed goggles, you’ll discover (or rediscover) the sights, sounds and sensations that make riding so much fun – on-road, off-road or on the race track. Eye Ride does not use 3D animation but rather actual footage captured from eight GoPro cameras.

The “satisfaction” of viewing Rolling Stones motorcycles from Prémont Harley-Davidson

Making their debut in Montreal, will be five of nine jaw-dropping custom Harley-Davidsons that pay tribute to the legendary Rolling Stones. Selected from the private collection of Quebec City’s Laurent Prémont, these bikes are true works of art and have been custom-painted by renowned artist Yves Thibault. The artist spent a full year on the project that masterfully portrays the unique character, personality and energy of each member of the Stones.

Vintage, restored, on-trend, custom … you name it!

There’s a new wave of riders of the custom motorcycle scene and this year’s show is going to have plenty of eye-candy for them to feast their eyes on.  Starting with the featured builders of the highly-anticipated documentary Les Vagabonds sur Deux Roues, directed by Youssef Berrouard.  All the builders from the documentary, including Clockwork Motorcycles, Hardcore Cycle and Speedbird Motorcycles, as well as clothing brands Teaspoon and Les Loups MC, will be at the Show with their latest builds, design and collections.

The 2016 Show will also welcome a number of other talented motorcycle builders from Quebec, including Garage Sheriff, LétoMoto, MR Motorcycles Renaud, Diosa Customs andRoquechop Design who will all be showing off their new projects as well.

In partnership with BMW Motorrad Canada, Purebreed Cycles will introduce the Brooklyn Project to the show’s visitors.  This inaugural collaboration, limited to just 40 custom café racers world-wide, is based on the beloved BMW S1000R roadster.   While these bikes will all be the same “under the hood”, each will be crafted according to the individual tastes and preferences of its owner.

Torch Motorcycles will also be in Montreal to showcase Revv-olution, an educational program where women design, engineer and craft their first motorcycles based on their unique needs, body diversity and ride styles.

Simpson helmets by Gastown Supply Co. and the Freedom 5000 simulator

Clear skies boost Motorcycle & ATV Show – Moncton attendance

Moncton, NB (February, 2016) – Clear skies led to a successful Motorcycle & ATV Show – Moncton with overall attendance up 9.5% from 2015.  The event was presented by Dalton Timmis Insurance February 12^_14 at the Moncton Coliseum.

“I was very happy with the show and crowds this year after three years of heavy snow on the Sunday,” said show manager Neil Fardy. “This year’s show will lead to a strong resurgence for both exhibit sales and attendance in the years to come. It really shows the growing motorcycle and OHV (off highway vehicle) business opportunities in the Atlantic region.”

The show started off with a bang Friday, thanks in large part to an exciting She Rides Nite. The donation of a 2016 Kawasaki Ninja 300 by Canadian Kawasaki and G. Bourque Ltd., of Dieppe, as a grand prize, contributed to an increase in attendance of 18% over the previous year. Sharon Smith, of Moncton, was the lucky winner of the live draw for the Ninja motorcycle on Friday evening.

The Trials demonstrations, by the talented Belanger Family and the ATAQ, wowed the crowds daily with their precision handling and entertaining demonstrations over the weekend. Clinton Smout’s “How To” seminars continued to be a fan favourite, demonstrating riding safety and tips for all types of riders. The always popular Yamaha Riding Academy, was busy all weekend long, giving kids 6 to 12 years old an opportunity to ride a mini bike. For most, this was their first time riding.
