Spring Show expands to three halls

From SUPERSHOW Events

Spring means one thing to motorcyclists – taking the bike out of storage and getting ready to hit the road. Whether it’s for commuting, weekend rides or plans for that big road trip there’s a sense of purpose for riders once the snow melts. The Spring Show, presented by Mantha Insurance and taking place in April at the International Centre, is timed perfectly to provide a one-stop shopping opportunity for all motorcyclists just as the riding season is opening. 

The Spring Show expansion means larger displays of the new 2010 model motorcycles including touring and cruising bikes, street bikes, off road bikes, scooters and there will also be great deals on non-current models. The giant Used Bike Clearance Sale is a hot spot for anyone shopping for a bike, with a vast array of makes and models.

For new riders, the Show offers information on rider training, licensing and insurance, plus vendors will offer advice on starter bikes and proper riding gear. 

Show goers can check out features such as the Fashion Shows by Terez Leathers, and the Spring Used Bike Market. With four huge accessory superstores, Toronto area dealer displays, aftermarket retailers, used parts vendors, and more, the Spring Show’s vendors promise an unequalled assortment of products for all riders.

The Vintage ‘Motorcycles Through the Years’ Display will feature significant bikes from invited guests and the Bar Hodgson Collection. Over 30 clubs and associations display bikes and promote their 2010 rallies, charity rides and events, and membership drives at the same time as they share their passion for riding with the attending public.

Hall 6 will focus on the Showbike Builders Competition featuring top customs competing for over $20,000 in cash and awards. From vintage and touring bikes, to street bikes and wild customs there are over 30 classes in the competition. With the substantial increase in prize money for Spring Show 2010 new wild creations from some of Canada’s top builders and shops are expected to be vying for the top prize.             

This year’s Door Prize is a new Suzuki DR-Z125 motorcycle provided by Suzuki of Newmarket, to be drawn on stage, Sunday, April 11 at the Show. Admission to the Spring Motorcycle Show includes a complimentary copy of International Motorcycle Magazine and a half price admission coupon to the Classic Car Auction, happening next door in Hall 3.

Admission is $15 for adults, $5 for youths under 12, free for children under 6, and parking is free. Visit www.supershowevents.com for more information.
