2012 Demo Days

I hope people don't take advantage of the dealers/manufacturer's generosity by wrecking some bikes.
Demo days are less than they used to be and we don't want them to totally go away
 
Just wondering what happens in these demo days if you were to accidentally drop the bike? Or if you were to get into an accident? Would your personal insurance be on the hook, or do u get free insurance from the dealership against these things?

Someone dropped a Ducati last year at the demo at Apex Cycle, and had to pay for the repairs himself.
 
any Triumph demo days?!?! i really wanna try the Triumph speed triple
i could care less about other bikes
 
Apparently, the word on the street is that Triumph will not be touring with the demo truck for 2012.
Perhaps you can check with GP Bikes for a demo ride.
 
Are there any restrictions on demo days? Like, must have full M class license and 21+ years of age?

Usually, they won't let you onto liter sports bikes if you have M2. Last year, Honda in Mississauga did that.
 
Dealer near Wasaga Beach told me that Triumph had border issues last year and couldn't bring the rig with Demos into Canada. They didn't think Triumph was going to bother to try again.
 
i got onto a 1000rr two years ago with an m2 and being under 20

Great for you then, seriously, because neither Brampton Powersports on their Suzuki demo, nor Honda during their demo wouldn't let M2 guys onto liter bikes. Ducati was very clear with their rules to begin with - they wouldn't let people with M2 to a demo, period.

It was the only bike left that no one was taking out, and i did not have a ride booked for that time slot so they let me take it out. :D
 
Seems there will be some dirtbike demo rides (for the kids) at this show.

I signed up with this BMW demo in Calgary. http://www.blackfootonline.com/euro_bmw_demo_day_2012.php They make you do a $1500 pre-authorization damage deposit from your visa but 2 hours and over 100 kms of riding I think it's worth it.
 
No R1s or R6s from Yamaha? When Envy rides was still around, they I rode both bikes at their demo.
