Fourth Annual Viva Italia Concours D'Elegance(Italian Auto and Bike Day in Balt)

[Lance Goodthrust]

Just received a mailer announcing this event on Sunday Sept.28 at Harbor East in Baltimore. There is registration info available at www.childrensguild.org. I certainly don't feel like I have a show worthy bike, but I'd like to get together somewhere and ride down with a DMF group.

The event is free for the public to attend; more than 5,000 spectators are expected.

I think I also heard they are getting a JumboTron and sound system to play the races that day also....

[Statler]

I was debating taking the RS down.  I'd register just because of the cause.   Do I have to wash it if I do that?

Different event, this event conflicts with 9th Annual Italian motofest, October is the target for the event in Litle Italy.

I'd be happy to join you in the filthy bike contest.

Yeah, um, I forgot about that.

in the words of Valentine Rossi...."I no think I win,sooo...I WIN"

[Lance Goodthrust]

I think they should have certain judges criteria for the filthiest bike division. Maybe write the rules in the dirt and dust on my fenders?
On a sidenote, one of the funniest things I read written in the dirt on someones back window:
"I wish my wife was as dirty as my car"

[dolci]

In the basement of my garage, there was a GSX500 with "Ride Me"  written on the dust of the tank.

[zooom]

well....I think a neatnick should write the rules and judge the competition...

my vote would be for Gene...Public Enema #1 to the villianous dirty Monsta...prone to clean ridin everyday....no matter what he rode through the day before!
