EE, there is no entry fee for spectators, so if you can get out of the house come on over and bring your banana seat racer for a test and tune on our track. As far as an entry fee for bikes, there really isn't one either. Since we always have so many VWers bring their bikes anyway we decided to add the bike class for fun for anyone entered in the show. We never thought it out far enough to have an entry for others. I think some of the guys from the Spokesmen are going to bring bikes to display and promote their club, at least I hope so. Hope to see ya there if you can sneak out.

Hey Marty, How long is the show sat. I have to run the shop until 4 how much longer will the show go on? and how many bikes do you want each person to bring?

Rick, unfortunately awards are usually around 4pm if we are on schedule and most people will tear down and scatter shortly after.

Easy E, for those that have a VW entered their $25 covers both, the club decided the bicycle only entry is $5 if you don't have a VW entered. But, you can also just bring a bike out for exhibition, and to cruise around the park. But the trophy is pretty kool in a los punkrod way, if I do say so myself.

Thanks Jon for the pictures, they look great. And a big THANKS to you and all the Spokesmen that came out and brought bikes. It was a real fun addition to our show this year, and everyone loved seeing and hearing about them. I'm already looking forward to more joint ventures in the future.

Easy E you do look bad on that monkey bike! I am so going to have to build me one now!

Thanks again guys!
