Cycle World Show

The Cycle World International Motorcycle Show comes to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont this weekend. POC Phil reported a huge turnout at the Cleveland Show last weekend, with the usual suspect scooter manufacturers present, plus a Benelli Car-Bike Hybrid. Rumor has it the Stella will be there, and who knows, Piaggio might even show up. Watch this space Saturday morning for our report.

Tim Kerr Soul Night Sunday

Sorry about the late notice, but Christian just sent word that Tim Kerr, guitarist for The
Big Boys, Poison 13, Bad Mutha Goose, Jack O’Fire, Lord High Fixers,
Total Direct Sound Action Commitee, etc. is in town and throwing one of his famous soul dance parties at Delilah’s (2771 N. Lincoln) this Sunday (2/23). Awesome, we’ve been looking forward to this for months!

Bishop Allen at Schubas

Bishop Allen’s Support The Thunder Tour rolls through Schubas on Saturday, they’ve shown up on several ballots in
our music poll. I really regret missing them in that tiny venue last time, but I can’t go this time either, someone let me know how they are live. If nothing else, check out their free downloads. And VOTE in the 2sb music poll, you don’t need to fill out ALL the blanks! The deadline is this weekend!

DUCATI SPORTCLASSICS

After “response that has been nothing short of incredible,” Ducati has decided to go ahead with production of three retro-inspired concept motorcyles unveiled at the Tokyo Motorshow. They’re beautiful, but don’t get too excited, The Big D is hedging their bets with a five-digit deposit and a two-year waiting list. Perhaps this “collect the cash before building the factory” approach will inspire Piaggio to re-issue a modernized Vespa GS. Thanks to Matthew for the link.
