No Motorcycle Expo

I drove the family of four to the Indianapolis Motorcycle Expo this afternoon. We arrived shortly before 3 p.m.; 2 hours before it closed.

The clerk at the ticket office said, "40 dollars please".

I had forgotten kids were 8 dollars; I was thinking kids under 12 were free. I had been expecting something on the order of 20 bucks.

I said, "Forget it".

Though I was somewhat interesting in seeing the Xtreme Sports performance, I wasn't up for $40 bucks for two hours entertainment.

I've enjoyed it in times past. I usually buy something there. I bought my leather jacket there for a good price, right after a got into motorcycling.

I think they ought to pro-rate admission for the waning hours of a show like this.

Sure, I should have looked at the show hours (and double-checked the rates) before I hauled everyone down there.

The kids were cool about it; they weren't overly upset.
