Show was definitely smaller but had a nice intimate feeling. All the major european motorcycle brands were represented and some of the local motorcycle accessories companies and dealers. It was a shame the Desert 100 was on the same weekend which made companies either pick one or split their resources. They did have some pretty good door prices for people who filled out a show survey. The food trucks just outside also provided a nice rest and refueling area. While the big Progressive show is at the Seattle conference center, the Euromoto show as at Seattle Center Exhibition Hall. Pretty easy to find with parking cheaper than downtown. There was free motorcycle parking in the garage but the signs were a bit late to be put out. We arrived a few minutes early and circled once before finding the hidden motorcycle area. A view from the balcony of the hall. One nice option this year was free demo rides. Moto Guzzi, Apprila, Vespa, Ducati, & MV Augusta were available. Sadly, BMW, Triumph, and KTM were not available. Organizers also changed the demo route to remove the higher speed Aurora/99 section due to time/traffic concerns after preriding the weekend before. I still was able to take a few bikes out that I wouldn't normal which was nice. Sign up was hidden a bit and the staging area was in the garage by bike parking. (Thanks Touratech for sponsoring (according to the sign.)) WOHVA.org was there (grouped with a firearm training group) to help us PNW off-roaders organize to help save public access. Our friends at Altrider had a prime booth location at the front door. Jeremy gave what I was assume was a great presentation on the Hoh but we weren't around to attend. Touratech booth. No matter how many times I sign up to win that new Aventuro helmet....they never seem to call my name. Ducati, Ducati Club, Moto Guzzi, Triumph, KTM, Beta, local motorcycle museum all had pretty good size booths with plenty of eye candy. Found a few nice samples in parking garage, Used bike Lot, Museum booth, and some of the clubs.

Great video from Bob Berglund that shows just how muddy it was....

Looked like a great time, but then an ass showed up!

Great trip and report! I so want to go back to DV but it will take a few months until my busted knee at ToD heals enough to ride offroad

So is this where the Annual XLADV rally is gonna be held in 2016? 👍

Sad I missed this event, but not the rain. Nice video work and editing.

Some miscellaneous pics... I figured out that I need to thread that vertical strap through the dry bag clips next time to keep it from falling out. Kim Krause is a big bike adventure rider and advocate to stop child trafficking. She's also sponsored by a few moto industry companies like ICON Raiden

I didn't manage to snap any selfies today, but I rocked my new ADDICTS TEE and NO DIRT NO GLORY HOODIE today at EuroMoto 2015 and all over Seattle today. So hopefully theres and influx of Washington orders!

App is available for Android, I've had it since early last year I think. Works well. Although I took pictures with it when out of cell coverage in the Kennedy Meadows area assuming it would correctly locate the picture on my spotwalla map when it uploaded my track -- it uploaded the track information but didn't locate the pictures correctly -- weird.

Hey Bryan! The Ducati is a 2011 and the 690 is a 2014. They are basically polar opposites, as you know, haha. One is great on the road, not that great in the dirt, and vice-versa. But to me that's the whole appeal of ADV - you have choices. Which, incidentally, was the inspiration for this tee. I think I know which one this forum would choose
