Those were some awesome pics....the iPhone quality is awesome.

Great documentation of the event...felt like I went.

Awesome shirt!...ha ha. :wink:
 
Yeah I had more than a few people asking me if I was the site owner. I was a complete IDIOT and didn't print flyers. There's always next year.
 
I do have business cards....I need to send a bunch to folks who are going next time.

Man that bike was extra clean. 9 feet long and glowing in the sunlight

And it also fell over on its side at the bike show this past Sunday. Not sure how much damage was done as I didn't want to go over to it and look. It was like watching a bad train crash.
