I'll see you at the expo.

Do you need tickets for the opening banquet on Friday? If you do let me know and I'll sort you out some freebies.

The banquet is on Friday evening and the expo is from Friday until Monday. If you need tickets let me know and I will give you the wechat address of the lady (Jessie) who distributes them.

By the way, Monday's show is not great as it's when everyone takes down their stands.

If you only get the choice of CIMA or Canton fair, go for Canton it is MUCH better. CIMAmotor is a bit half-hearted these days which is a shame because it could be one of the world's top moto expos (in all honesty it was much better better years ago when I was working with them on the international aspects).

Thanks Dave.
But when is the show, I have been many times before and have had a few beers with you with my friend Dennis (BikerDoc).
But when is the date of the show.

That would be great to get details. The entrance tickets. Do you know if they are purchased at the gate?

Looked at my old 2010 CIMA report...

It would be nice to read a comprehensive report of the show. Interesting to see how little has changed in 7 years and how few of the bikes I photographed ever became available. I hope CIMA has done a better job of attracting accessory and parts companies.

Most important would be quality images of the booth babes, we haven't had proper coverage of that in years.

First day of the show was tiring. Think I saw everything there was to see... I'm told in previous years, this was a no annual event and from now on it's yearly or something, so less exhibitors. There were two halls open and outside activities.. Trying some of the bikes.. Like the Kawasaki versys 300
