Just a small section of the countless rooms, hallways and even broom closets filled with dealer booths.
It's the biggest motorcycle trade show in the business and it happens every year in Indianapolis: The Motorcycle Dealer Expo. It's exclusively for moto-industry members, that means no public allowed! But that doesn't mean we can't give you more behind the scenes goodies. Check out video clips from some of the most-intriguing stuff we found at the show. See product demonstrations from the dealers themselves, and more new moto-swag hitting shelves any day now.

Red Starcross Michelin Tires
You may remember the yellow tires Pastrana sported during the X-Games last year, well they're back by popular demand, this time in red. Don't let skeptics fool youthe tire isn't merely coated; it's red through the knob. The tire is made from a silica compound (rather than carbon), making it neutral in color. They can then add any color they like. The silica-based tire wears a bit faster than the standard carbon, but also has a side effect of shedding mud better.

Supercross fans with sharp eyes have been asking, "What kind of boots is Ricky wearing?" RC has been in development with Berik Boots designing his signature motocross boot. Berik chose to use Carmichael to develop their new high-end boot for one, because he's the best, and two, because he's demanding of his equipment, accepting nothing less than perfect. Perfect is what Berik is shooting for.
What they have developed together is the Carmichael Replica OVS-Pro. Berik's cutting-edge, top of the line boot is made with kangaroo hide, rather than cow leather. Kangaroo is much lighter and has been used in road racing wear for years. It is also more-flexible, and wears stronger. Berik is the leading authority on using kangaroo hide, and so far, is the only boot company in the industry to use it.
The OVS-Pro also features adjustable and replaceable straps and buckles, a replaceable antibacterial footbed, shock absorbing internal steel shank and leather heat shields. They will be availible in a variety of colors including a limited-edition black and gold model called "The Champion" featuring Carmichael's signature.

Look for limited-edition Carmichael replica OVS-Pros coming this fall.
The boot is now in it's third generation, and is planning to be released at the end of the summer. Berik will have a range of motocross boots, from the Carmichael replica OVS-Pro to the mid-range "Contender" and the "Junior Contender" for kids. No price has been released for the boots yet, but Berik promises it will be around 20% less than the popular top-shelf Alpinestar Tech 10 boot.
