Ready to Ride

Spring is still a couple months away but it’s never too early to think about getting the bike out of storage or — even better — buying a new ride. All the local motorcycle dealers will show off their newest products at this annual event, which starts today and continues through Sunday at the I-X Center. Even if you’re not shopping for a bike, there’s plenty to do and see. Bike builders from around the country have entered bikes into the custom bike contest. Two pro riders will square off in a skill and trick competition that takes place daily. Today’s hours are 4 to 9 p.m. Check the website for Saturday and Sunday’s schedule. (Niesel)
