2005 ATV World's Fair - Louisville, KY

Louisville, KY - The 2nd Annual ATV World’s Fair was held in Louisville, KY at the Conventional Center located downtown and only a few blocks away from the river separating Kentucky from Indiana where the “Belle Louisville” is docked and offers river boat cruises.

As Visitors arrived at the show they couldn't help but notice the Hummer equipped with rubber tracks.

Mattracks rubber track conversion system is available for almost every vehicle with four wheels and is capable of speeds of 40MPH. This Hummer was parked outside till Sunday, and they backed it out and drove it down the street, which was pretty wild to watch.

The show this year had about half the vendor participation as last year, but the spectator turnout to the event was steady both Saturday and Sunday.

Unlike the Dealer Expo in February all the vendors easily fit into a divided section of the Convention Centers main room.

Polaris & Kymco had the largest presence at the show this year, and Suzuki surprisingly didn’t even attend after having such a large presence at last year’s event. I was really hoping for them to have the new LT-R450 on display. Also, I was surprised that Polaris didn’t even have their Polaris Outlaw on display at the show.

ATVriders.com Site Sponsor, T&T Racing (502 348-4847) was in attendance once again and showing off some of their decked out ATVs. As they specialize in turning your Stock ATV into a fire breathing full blown race quad and unlike many other aftermarket suppliers, they actually stock a large quantity of parts from Laeger, Walsh, Hiper, and many more which is perfect for those that can’t wait till their parts ordered and delivered several weeks later.

Also, they are Honda Dealer, so they also are a great source for all your Honda OEM Parts and Honda ATVs, so if you are in the Bardstown, KY area be sure to stop by the shop.

Also, both the KTM and White Honda 450R are forsale, so give them a call if you are interested 502 348-4847 and ask for JT

T&T Racing also has their own graphic kits for the Honda 450R, and if you have a White 450R, I would highly suggest this graphic kit because it looked awesome. They have several kits availabe in different colors.

Another site sponsor, Alba Action (858 486-4380) also had a large display setup at the show with the founder, Cory Hove making the trip out to Kentucky to create some of his customers back east.

The Blue Trans/Black 450R was grabbing plenty of attention

Alba Action has its own line of Aluminum accessories and they offer them in a variety of colors unlike many other manufacturers, but I have noticed that black is steadily becoming an available option from everyone

One of newest things available from Alba is their new Pro Elite Radiators, which were designed for durability and efficient cooling. Unlike other radiators, the Pro Elite is actually a billet radiator instead of a being a tube and fin design.

The Pro Elite radiator has a bar and plate design which is designed to slow down the fluid flowing through the radiator by providing more resistance, which provides more opportunity for the water to cool down before it returns to the engine.

The increased durability and cooling does have a trade off in that the radiator does weigh more than other available aftermarket oversized radiators, but if you race in the woods or desert where durability and cooling is critical the tradeoff could be the difference from finishing or not.
