Welcome to our forum.
You are lucky, I wish we could all go, unfortunately for me it is too far away. Now take your camera and post pictures of all the neat stuff you see there, and it would be great for you to share anything you learn with us.

I wouldn't mind going, but I would just want everything cool. Kind of like a kid in a candy shop with money to burn. ;D

Observations of Dealer expo...This is my 3rd in a row and it seems like a continuing downhill slide in attendance, exhibitors, and optimism. Since I was only there for 4 hours I missed a lot of details but there was a difference. They need to have these groups in a single area and under one roof. Very poorly organized. Not nearly as many chinese manufacturers as before. Economy I guess..there and here. Fit and finish wise I liked the Genuine scooters. Didn't get the details on the Blur 220ie but will. CF Moto has a new fuel injected 250 which looks like a winner. Don't think the Taiwan mfrs were there(SYM, Kymco) but I may have missed them. All and all I still enjoyed myself and I will most likely go back next year. Joe

I see in the last picture Tao Tao on the name badge. Any word on what they plan to do? My sources said that ultimately they're going to build their own line of scooters. They've scarfed up a bunch of distributors and sellers, any buzz at the show Jeremy?

Thanks for the photo expose.
I really like that madass 125. I know that a year or two back I found it or a clone offered on one of those exporter pages that has all things built in China offered for sale by the container load, no now I remember it was 4 years ago I saw it. I remeber showing it to somebody at a clinic I was working at on an indian reservation.
