The CME is the largest indoor motorcycle swap meet in the country and includes over 300,000 sq. ft. of events and entertainment. This event has been held annually in late January / early February since 1978.
In addition to the swap meet which features over 800 booths, there’ s also a huge custom and antique motorcycle show with over 100 vintage bikes and top of the line customs. These bikes are built by some of the best in the business and collectively are worth well over a million dollars! Many of these bikes have never been on public display before.
Down in the stadium you can listen to live music from rwo great Denver rock bands. On Saturday you can see Guild of Ages and on Sunday, The Grind 5280 will take the main stage. Also down in the stadium, Blue Rose Tattoo will have great deals on live tattoos and piercings. Taking place on Saturday from 4:30 – 5:15 PM is the wet t-shirt contest, get down to the stadium early because this is usually the biggest attraction of the show.
This year’ s Expo falls on the weekend before the
Superbowl, which should mean even more vendors and bike show participants than usual.“ Angie and I are looking forward to seeing everyone again this year. Even former owner Jack Portice will be back this year selling Harley parts with Arlen so make sure to stop by and say hello” said show promoter Jeff Brown.
This event is a great kick off to the motorcycle season and is the social event of the season for the Colorado riding community. It’ s also the ideal place to find awesome deals on parts, accessories and everything else you need for your bike, while having a heck of a good time!
