The schedule of dates and locations for the Northeast Motorcycle Expo shows in 2013 has been posted for a while, but it was only brought to RIDE-CT.com’s attention recently that missing from the slate is a stop in Hartford.
There will be shows in Boston (Jan. 12-13); Salem, NH (Jan. 26-27); Wilmington, MA (March 9-10); and Philadelphia (March 23-24), but no show in Hartford.
Last year, the Northeast Motorcycle Expo shifted to the XL Center in downtown Hartford following the closure of the Connecticut Expo Center where the motorcycle show had previously been staged. The combination of the new location and going up against the Progressive International Motorcycle Show in New York the same weekend reportedly resulted in small turnout.
