AIMEXPO moving to Columbus OH

Yeah I was a little disappointed it moved (I'm in FL). I went to the last one they had down here, pretty fun, but I missed out on the factory demos. Word of the wise, go to the demo sign-ups ASAP, I'm talking as soon as the expo opens. Everyone gets focused on the vendor/manufacturer booths (what I did). They usually have times you can schedule for, and the EXPO is a couple of days so you should be able to hit up everything.  The experienced, and those who do their research do this.  Also, they had a free gear check for those who ride in.  Not sure if they'll have it up there, but something to confirm if riding to it is an option. 

Both. Some vendors that where selling goods: Sena, ICON, MOTUL, some small China import companies... etc. Mainly gear and innovative stuffs such as lightweight batteries and such. The bike manufactures will take "UPs" or direct you to visit your local dealer for sales info such as final cost or financing options.

I found the whole experience fun to compare the bikes I was interested in, and the ones I didn't know existed. I wish I had been there for the reveals, but my time was limited. They also had some Q&A sessions with some manufacturer riders for dirt bikes and track leagues.
