The 2007 International Motorcycle Show in San Mateo featured the expected assortment of motorcycle manufacturers, accessory vendors, and crowds. Manufacturers large and small were in attendance, presenting their latest offerings to an eager crowd.

The weather was superb compared to past years' events; event organizers claim over 41,000 in attendance - the motorcycle parking lots were full all weekend.

These events are offer a good opportunity to try out bikes and accessories from many manufacturers in one place - motorcycles, helmets, jackets, gloves, you name it. Some manufacturers had other product lines on display: personal watercraft, generators, and the like. Whatever your interest in motorcycling, it's a great opportunity to immerse yourself in motorcycle and motorsports technology.
