Well Richard and I took the trip to Columbus tonight. $20 to get in the door, way over priced if you ask me. Overall the event seemed smaller than it did last year.
It did have a few good vendors. I was able to purchase some insulated winter riding gloves for $20. Got some good info on new LED company, Richard has their info. Cool lights, very thin and bright. They have more led's per inch according them and they have connections on both sides so you can make a 12" strip into two if you need. All connections are silicone sealed and water proof. Down side is they were pricey, like $350 for a Fury kit. Also some guy selling a "Beugler" pinstriping tool. looks neat and with practice anyone could do some nice striping.
As for the bikes...same trend as the last few years, baggers with huge front wheel seem to be the favorites. There seems to be a few cool sportster based rides. Not many metrics at the show, one M109R, a 3ft stretched swing arm on a GSXR. No Furies at the show sadly.
