That was fun :mrgreen: great to meet Boris, 1850MB, C.S., Vovka Che, Badmuller, LowJack and many others who are not on the forum. Not as many bikes and people as last year, probably due to the weather, but still had a great time talking bikes with you all !

Here are some of my shots:

Ofcourse I forgot to take a pic of my own bike in the midst of all that bicyclemayhem... :roll:

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: I'm home and still buzzing with all the bikes I saw and the Folks I met! So sorry to miss you BadMuller and 1850MB And sorry I never got chance to spend much time with you Ace....but still very cool to chat! . Che, it was fantastic to meet you, and many thanks for showing me around all the show bikes and introducing me to most of the builders Cheers everyone!
We got there about 11am and left about 1:30pm ish the bus to our ferry left at 3pm so had to head off as I thought it only fair to let my lads have a slow wander through the city streets back to the pick up point to see the sights :shock: :shock: :shock:!. We will be back for next year, and are coming for the whole week 8) We need campsite addresses or best places to stop.
Anyway looks like you guys have pretty much wrapped it all up pic wise 8) [cool to see all the stuff I missed, cheers!] Will look through mine and see if I find anything you didnt catch!
Cheers again to all for making us all welcome!!!!

Awesome bikes! Thanks for the photos guys.

 

[Ace]

Your welcome Joe. I always enjoy the events forum the most, great to see other people's efforts come together.

After opening a Photobucket yesterday I thought I might as well put up last year's pics too.
Why not, it's as good as bicycleporn gets anyway. Enjoy the rides:

It's almost too much to take in with every bike being so over the top.

You have to pull up on an old plain rusty Schwinn Typhoon to stand out there...ha ha. :lol:

Great pics...thanks for sharing!

 

[Boris]

Cheers for the '09 ace!

Me and my sons shots on photobucket from this year.......

@ Steve: over the top, in most cases yes. It's a show for Pete's sake :lol: But I hear you, wish there were some old fashioned American ballooners present to show how it all started. However, this is 2010 and this is what's going on over here :mrgreen:

@Boris: great pics, thanks !

 

[user 135]

Lots of cool bikes. Definately something to learn from a gathering like that.

 

[Boris]

Did 'MAT 732' Show his bike? I saw his name on the list as showing a bike called PSHYCO but seein as i run off early :roll: I never got to check it out ....did you show Mat?

BORIS WHERE WERE YOU BRUV! Me, Mike, Make (Mike to us lot, we can remember PCC) and Pukey (Popey) didn't see ya. Got there Friday afternoon, showed Saturday and won best paint (hid at the back and never collected prize as i felt like a fraud! Missed all the real cruzes and a few years back a decision was made that no bike could win any award if it never made any cruze (before that if it never raced in the drag heats it was out of the contest as well!) but ...well... i suppose being one of the veterans..... rules sort of changed! The year the salt flat racer showed i gave the prize away after hearing a few complaints about it not being a roller (look at any show photos and you can see no brake hoses and the moon discs were not actually attached) and i was with them, if it don't go it don't show.

It was a fleeting visit mate! Well done with the paint though, I did speak to Make [from Barcelona?] and others, but dont know how i missed you ..... me phone wasnt working on outward calls so that didnt help :roll:
