It’s the Montreal motorcycle show this weekend, and Harley-Davidson is unveiling their 2013 lineup at the event.

A quick glance doesn’t seem to indicate any ground-breaking new models; the MoCo has restyled the Dyna Street Bob, and brought out a bunch of 110th anniversary models, for all those riders who are tired of their 105th anniversary models. Their Custom Vehicle Operations lineup has a couple of new machines in the lineup, the CVO Breakout and the CVO Road King. A few other bikes have new paint options.

What about the rest of the show? Well, Friday night is SHE Rides night, where ladies get in for half price after 5 p.m.; there’s also a blood clinic at the show, where visitors can donate blood in memory of motojournalist Yves-Martin Proulx, who died of leukemia back in 2001. On a lighter note, the Yamaha Riding Academy also re-appears, so your kids can rip around on minibikes and get a taste of two-wheeled life.

Of course, CMG will be at the show; visit our booth and chat with Editor ‘Arris about the new look of the website, or visit the Suzuki booth and see the V-Strom 650 adventure bike project.

Show times are 12 p.m. – 10 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.Sunday at the Montreal Convention Centre. Admission is $14 for adults, $10 for seniors 65+, $10 for students and $7.50 for juniors (age 7-14). Kids under 7 get in for free, and a family pass for two adults and two juniors is $36.
