Should I show new products at NAB?

[Todd Terry]

Hey Steve…

Mine is NOT a rigid frame…. thank gawd. Royal Enfield claims (who knows if it’s true) to have invented the swing arm a zillion years ago, and some of even their very early bikes had them.

Mine’s a 500cc Bullet… the exact same bike that was re-badged as the 1955 Indian “Woodsman” (some people, even bikers, are surprised to learn that good ol’ all-American Indians were actually re-labled Britbikes from 1955-60).

Yes, I saved the horn… I didn’t actually see it fall off, just looked down and saw it dangling. My buddy (my partner in this film equipment venture) is a metalworker as well as a fellow biker… he has promised to make me a new bracket better than one I could buy as NOS, but he is also a terrible procrastinator. If he takes too long I might hit you up, man.

The Enfields are interesting, real headturners, and have a lot of personality. They do, however, live up to their unofficial motto: Royal Enfield. Making mechanics out of ordinary men. That’s why there’s also a Yamaha in my garage (sorry, know you are a Harley guy).

I have not read all the responses to this thread, but here is my 2 cents.

I met Robert Leung (ex HUGE Systems) at NAB 2007, where he was just walking around the show with his partner, and literature about Dulce Systems new disk drive arrays. If it were not for my chance meeting with him at NAB2007, I would have never have tested the drive arrays, and would have never purchased, and recommended his products.

So in my opinion, NAB DOES work for new products. I have seen guys to to ITVA with their little home produced shows, and SELL THESE SHOWS. Just because they had a little booth.
