Yeah yeah, I know, it's mostly a car event but there will be a lot of bikes there as well, including mine and about another 10 sportsbikes. I dropped my bike off there this morning and already there were a collection of wild choppers there, super motards (with their own track on-site), racing quads, classics, the Britten, and the local Honda/Ducati dealership had a stand as well. I'll be going back down there later so hopefully I'll get some pics to post up.

Only $20 to get in.

Nice selection of bikes, with damn good taste as well. No plain looking GSXR here sorry.

Couple of Boss Hoggs. The one on the left in the second pic is a limited edition model, 3" off the length and 3" lower in seat height. The GTR belongs to one of my employers, the '59 Cad' to the other. The GT40 is just there 'cos it's fucking cool, even if it was a rep. Apparently some guy took a pic of my bike with one of the birds on it and it will be on the auto-x site.

Nice one doesn't look too bad for a "car" show.

I know of a guy with a trike that has a lexus 4.0l V8 with a Mazda MX5 rear end, very very tidy.
