An anticipated crowd of more than 20,000 Texas motorcycle enthusiasts will assemble to be among the first to preview the complete 2002 model line-up of ATVs, cruisers, dirt bikes, dualsports, scooters, and sport bikes in factory showcase displays from the industry's leading manufacturers, including Aprilia, BMW, Buell, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Triumph, Victory and Yamaha. Representatives from local dealerships will be on hand to answer questions and help enthusiasts determine the perfect ride for their size and experience level.

Complementing the new vehicles is an impressive aftermarket manufacturer contingent offering everything from performance parts to the latest communications hardware and apparel. Those looking to re-furbish their wardrobe or dress up their ride will be pleased to know that many of the products on display are also available for on-site purchase. Show-goers are also invited to preview the season's hottest product offerings at "The Factory", a series of showcase displays boasting parts and accessories from companies such as Arai Helmets, Autocom Communication Specialists, Bridgestone Tire Company, Castrol, ChatterBox, Dowco, Inc., Dunlop Motorcycle Tires, Dynojet Research, GIVI USA, HJC Helmets, K & N Engineering, Kendon Industries, Metzeler Motorcycle Tires, Muzzys Performance Products, Prexport, Progressive Suspension, Samson Exhaust, Shoei Helmets, Suomy Helmets, Thunder Manufacturing, Travelcade/Saddlemen, Winex Helmets and Yuasa Battery, Inc.

Starving for two-wheeled action? Hungry crowds will tame their cravings with a feast of gravity defying acrobatics performed by Finnish Trials rider Tommi Ahvala of Team Extreme. Imagine a motorcycle launching up a 16-foot vertical wall onto a 22-foot flowing indoor waterfall, and then landing on a suspended platform barely the length of the bike! This radical display is not for the weak at heart. Outside of the show, Ahvala competes -- and wins -- at professional competitions internationally throughout the year, maintaining an average world ranking "in the top 3." Show-goers won't want to miss one of these stellar performances during the three-day event.
