Portland Motorcycle Co./SFRC have sponsored a bus ride up and back the last two years. Last year was around $50 including show entry and all you can drink keg on the bus. Motorcycle movies and shenanagins, etc.

The bus ride was fun, and the show was pretty cool too!

Contact PMC or SFRC for more info.

Lotsa bikes. Some good deals on gear. Cool custom earplug vendors.
Lots of places to drink after the shoe. Good times.

The Seattle motorcycle show is usually the first or second weekend in December. Its a fun way to kill time and look at gear/bikes/whatever. I've been the last couple years and it's pretty fun. Last year (I think) they had the monster energy team doing tricks/stunts. It was a fun way to kill a few hours. Plus Toyota is usually there with whatever fun new toys they have too.

It's definately a fun way to spend a day, all the new bikes and alot of vendors in the convention center, they even have a gear check for those that brave the weather.
