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 power sports industry is at a crossroads with where and how brands promote their products amid continued production and sourcing delays related to the pandemic. The current roadblocks facing our brand partners will make it difficult for us to produce an IMS that meets your and our expectations. As a result, we will no longer be conducting events that were scheduled for 2022, including the Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show.
Any tickets purchased or paid for Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show subscriptions for the 2022 events will be refunded to the credit card used within 7 business days. If you have not received your refund within 7 business days, please contact us [email protected].
We greatly appreciate your attendance and loyalty over the years and will share our love for motorcycling with you..
Following the announcement, we received the following quote from Tracy Harris, SVP of IMS Outdoors:
“We cannot thank the IMS community and the unwavering support each of you has shown over the past 40 years. All in all, we’ve brought the love of two wheels to so many cities across the country – while pausing the IMS tour for the foreseeable future is a difficult decision, we’re confident in our ability to service it again. of the industry and look forward to seeing the power sports industry grow and develop. ”
