Just got the email. Didn't go last year. They've really gone downhill. Wasn't sure if I would go this year, only reason I'd consider is was it was going to be near a buddy and was an excuse to ride for a visit.

Dear IMS Fans,

We have some news to share today with our IMS Family. After 40 years of producing The International Motorcycle Shows and IMS Outdoors, we have made the difficult decision to suspend the IMS Tour in 2022.

The powersports industry is at a crossroads with where and how brands promote their products amidst the continued manufacturing and sourcing delays associated with the pandemic. These current hurdles that our brand partners are facing would have made it difficult for us to produce an IMS that would meet your, and our, expectations. Therefore, we will not be moving forward with the planned 2022 events, including the Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show.

Any tickets purchased or Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show registrations paid for 2022 events will be refunded to the credit card used for purchase within 7 business days. If you have not received your refund within 7 business days, please contact [email protected].

We greatly appreciate your attendance and loyalty over the years and will miss sharing your love for motorcycling with you.
 
I can understand why. I went to the Dallas International Guitar show on 4/30. On the next Monday, I started feeling punk and tested positive for CV19.

Since then it's been a struggle against fever mostly. Like a bad head cold in some ways but more recalcitrant with fatigue and more. I remain in isolation with my wife staying at out kids' house until at least this coming Friday.
