Anyone else stop by the Brembo stand btw?  Fred from Yoyodyne was manning it. 

Yep, chatted about rotors for awhile - Brembo is recommending the thicker 220's for the 1098, instead of the thin 330's.  Huh.  $600 you say?  I'm good.

It was dissapointing no BMW, Aprilias, or MV's.  But overall it was fine; nice to see how ugly the new R1 is in person, to climb on an Uglibusa, and an 1198.  The Ducati hut was hopping, and took me awile to realize I was fielding questions from people because I was wearing my Ducati Xerox buttondown, and people thought I worked there.

Always good to see the Zoom!  Chatted with Donnie for a bit, and the Streetfighter looked nice.  I pointed out to a huge guy working there that it was fitted with the Traction Control sensor; he said it was just a mock-up bike.
