EDMONTON, AB (December 19, 2017) – The Motorcycle & ATV Show – Edmonton, presented by Dalton Timmis Insurance returns to the Expo Centre, Northlands January 12-14, 2018. The Show provides Edmontonians with the very first opportunity to check out the new 2018 showcase of new motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and side-by-sides from all the major manufacturers, before they arrive at local dealers.
“The inaugural SHE Rides Night was held 11 years ago,” says Laurie Paetz, Show Manager, “we continue to celebrate this unique sector of the market due to the increasing number of women that join the riding community each year.”
Female ridership continues to grow at a steady pace. Women get involved in riding because of the excitement, fun, freedom and camaraderie that riding offers. Grab your girlfriends and come down to the Show on Friday night after 5:00 pm and receive half price admission. Find out what’s new in riding gear and apparel and be sure to enter the “ladies only” draw for a brand new 2018 Kawasaki Versys-X 300 ABS courtesy of Canadian Kawasaki.
There is an entire section of the show dedicated to riding clubs, associations and charity rides which help to raise millions of dollars for local charities. The show plays host to hundreds of exhibitors that cater to every level of rider and diverse riding style. Whether it is a learn to ride program, touring destination, travel locations, or riding clubs, there will be people on hand that share your particular passion. Begin your riding adventure or plan a trip of a lifetime at this year’s Motorcycle & ATV Show – Edmonton.
There is no lack of things to take in at this year’s Show. The action attractions are sure to be a hit with riders of all ages. The Yamaha Riding Academy is a great opportunity to introduce kids ages 6-12 to riding. These sessions provide the basics of safety and riding, and allow the kids to take to the supervised track once they receive instruction. This is the perfect environment in which to learn from the pros and practice their skills on a safe, supervised track.
The Ground and Gravity Show is a must see. The stunts performed on the arena floor will have you in awe; while the ramp to ramp aerial action performed by some of the most talented freestylers in North America will have you on the edge of your seat.
As if the stunt riding and freestyle weren’t enough action we have added Indoor Short Track racing which will take place on the arena floor in Hall D. The races will feature local riders, as well as riders from across Canada.
The Alberta Vintage Flat Track Association will once again have an impressive display of vintage bikes dating back several decades. The bikes have been restored and maintained by their owners, many of which will be on hand to chat with other collectors and enthusiasts.
Be sure to check out the new Drag Alley presented by Parts Canada. This area will feature the industry leading manufacturers of aftermarket products. Brand specialist will be on hand throughout the Show.
