Assuming the roads are clear is anyone interested in riding to this or will all you nancies be caging it? :D

Just as an FYI parking around there sucks and I think the convention center lots don't allow motos (ironically)

That's hilarity.
Every time I meet a new group of your friends that understand you and your weird sense of humor I'm a little more amazed that there are other people in the world like you that lived through childhood - My loving girlfriend

Isn't it though.

I'll be going in 4 wheels as I'm working up a car pool.

Guess I should fly my DMF gang colors for the day while I'm at it...

I would too, but where am I going to find a pink paisley bandana on such short notice?

To all those who made it: Good to see you there! [thumbsup] Sorry I lost you guys when I darted for the Norton stand, I just couldn't contain myself ;D

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the Battley Cycles guys who brought out some nice and very very nice bikes.

Here's Lars cooing on the Street Fighter:


And here I am on the Tesi 3D, happy like a kid at Toys-R-Us ;D This really is the only bike in the world I would seriously consider dropping so much money on.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

They didn't have the new models, just nicely restored old ones. Talked to a guy (Robert, I think) from the Nation's Capital Norton Owners club about the new series and he said they're starting to come along. There's a dealership in San Francisco, and prices are around 16K.

I went today with my boy.  Except for the stunting, it stank hard.

No manufacturer's pavilion for BMW, Ducati, KTM or any european manufacturer.  Fortunately Ducpond and Coleman were there with Ducati bikes, but wow, I was surprised.

It really seemed like the show was 1/5th the size.  The vendors were the same, plenty of anti-fog spray sellers  [roll]
Check out my oil filter forensics thread!                     Offended? Click here
"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

In a few years that's all there will be!  [laugh]
