And then you have the abundance of bike products, from personal riding gear to bike accessories. Two brands stand out with their yearend blow out sale is Alpinestar with some products like their ladies riding gloves going as low as RM50 and LS2 helmets giving crazy discounts on their helmets.

The weather was good on the start of the event on Friday however rain had diluted some of the crowd as it came down mid Saturday and late Sunday. Still the biggest day was Sunday with all types of bikers and bike fans making their way at the event.

The whole show happening scale could be only second to this year’s MotoGP event in Sepang in terms of scale and fun factor. We do hope that this will not be the one and only IMF and when they do come around again, it would be bigger.
