This past weekend was the Providence RI bike show. It's been years since they had one at the Civic Center. (That's what i call it, what ever the venue is named now). Maybe it's just me, but i find bike shows like these painfully boring these days. The custom bike building business is dead as a fucking door nail. The public fascination with excess is pretty much over. No body can afford to buy chrome or paint. Its like showng up in Somalia trying to sell gold plated napkin rings to starving orphans. Lets face it, how many times can you stroll by the same old tired tee shirt vendors, tattoo shop booths with skanky old carney chicks for models and beef jerky salesmen. I would be surprised if Vince the Shamwow guy was not there. I guess what I'm trying to say in my grumpy way is that these event promoters need to come up with something new to attract attention. At the Providence RI show this weekend i herd they had a Midget Wrestling exhibition. Midgets?? are you fucking kidding me? UGH!
Come on Spring! save us from the insanity!
