I like the direction the EICMA show

I like the direction the EICMA show is heading for, both in terms of logistics and of the girls that make the hardware look better. The 2015 edition was indeed better than the previous one on both levels, and if this is an actual trend, then I can only recommend that you visit the show next year.

In a way, I feel privileged because me and a photographer were granted access on the EICMA 2015 floor during the press days, when the crowds were slightly smaller. Eh, being a moto journalist has its perks, I have to admit it, and passing through the photos we shot during the two press days makes me so happy with my job.

There were a tad too many bikes to shoot properly in such a short time, at least the job was almost overwhelming for only two photo guys. However, this taught me to assemble a team of three next year, so we have plenty of time for interviews, shooting even more and better photos of the bikes, and offering you larger, sweeter EICMA girls galleries like the one after the jump.

If it's not for photos, then why are we going there?

There surely are certain guys out there who love to read a lot of technical details about the next season's bikes, but time is so scarce when it comes to such shows, that no journalist can spare dozens of minutes to write in detail about the new releases instead of taking as many (good quality) photos as possible.

After all, a motorcycle has to be seen in the flesh, touched and ridden if one wants to get the real picture about what it stands for, right? So trust me, you'll be so much better off ditching that moroseness and enjoy as many photos as you can.

The winter days are short and the winter months are long, and I do hope these galleries will make that motorcycle-induced cold turkey more bearable.
