Ace Moto Show 1/27-29, Vancouver, BC

If you enjoy the One Moto show in Portland, here's another to check out. They'll have lots of hand-built customs on display. It's the first year for this event, so get in on the ground floor and say you were a supporter from the beginning.

This is being billed as Vancouver's biggest motorcycle show, and that makes sense since Vancouver doesn't have another motorcycle show. FYI - the big Abbotsford show is cancelled for 2023 and promises to be back in 2024.
