Jim, Congratulations for the great event this July 2007 weekend! We loved the location of our booth. We noticed we had some space between our booth and Hollywood Chopperz. We would like the same space next year but we are going larger with a 10x20 space. Please let me know what we have to do to reserve this location. Should I fill out a 2008 application form right away?

Jim, Congratulations on a successful show! Hope it met all your expectations. I thought it was a better display than BikeWeek in Daytona. Looking forward to next year!- Jeff Higginbotham, Ducati Monster List. ducatimonster.org

Hi Jim -- Your show was a complete success for us; it's been a wonderfully crazy week here with customer visits and orders, media interest, and so on. We sold 4 high end custom bikes from the Show which is incredible!

Your assistant Craig was an especially good resource for us at the show, and we appreciated him asking Joe to speak twice at the Builder's Seminars.

Now that we have been a vendor, will I get next year's information and forms sent automatically? Or will I have to go on your web site in February to get the information myself? Just wanted to plan ahead..... Thanks, - Pam Takai

A heartfelt thanks for your taking such good care of us at the Calendar Show! Our location was great, the attention to our well being was awesome, and the Show was by all measures, a huge success.

The Bike Industry is Down What Do You Do?

SinFuelChoppers Writes:
Not so sure the crowd will be there...it seems the high price of fuel and a changing economy will create a lower attendance? Do you have any predictions of what to expect? Also, do you have a discount for top builders if we show up?

Thanks!
Dan King
SinFuel Choppers

Dan,

You may have been living on another planet, but the custom motorcycle industry started crashing 18 months ago before the gas prices went up.

Most small bike events in California has gone out of business (remember Hot Bike, The Beach Ride, et all), and the major events like Daytona and Sturgis have seen attendance drop by 50%! This year at Lauglin 35% of the companies and the spectators were gone over just last year, which was down as well.

All the RUBs that bought custom bikes starting back in the late '90s because of the TV shows, then rode them once and found out how impractical and unreliable they were, they then parked them and will never buy another.

Our LA Calendar Show on the other hand, desipite the poor economy and the devistated custom bike market, has only dropped 10% in attendance from our best year in 2005 because, I feel, we provide apectators and the industry the best quality event at the best venue in America, along with with huge media coverage in the bike magazines and on TV,

We offer great value for bike and product companies and venders because our space rates have not gone up in 10 years, our space prices are significantly less the any other major bike event.

As for gas prices keeping people away, we are based in Los Angeles, the motorcycle populatin center of America, so fuel cost for spectators to come to our show is not a concern. The only concern is if they have money to buy big ticket items like custom bikes.

And as far as gas prices go, remember America still is the richest economy in the world. Gas prices in Europe have been at $5-6 a gallon for the last 40 years and they get alone just fine.
Europeans just don't buy $60,000 Cadilac Escalades to drive to work like us. They buy sensible $20,000 cars and spend the difference on higher fuel and higher taxes.They also don't own huge mansions like us, but live in duplexs and apartments, and smaller more affordable homes,

Its just going to take Americans a while to figue it all out.

Meanwhile, you can sit at home and watch as your business continues to fall off, or you can be pro active and go our and promote and sell even harder, offering more practical bikes and apparel that people really want and really can afford.

And being at the LA Calednar Motorcycle Show to put yourself out in front of the biggest bike market in America is one of the best ways to do that.

The only discounts we offer on our already low space prices is 33% travel discount if you are coming from over 250 miles.

Hope to have you join us.

Best regards,
Jim Gianatsis, Producer
