Well, it didn't rain, hot in the sun but cool enough in the shade.. The door prize this year was a nice looking 71 T100C. It was getting too hot for me to stay till 4:30 just to find out I didn't have a snowball's chance in hell anyhow. As usual there was plenty of stuff you don't see everyday. There was a beautiful early sixties Cub, a water cooled Scott as well as some pre-unit Triumphs and BSA's. I think this year, though, there were more of the mid sixties and up bikes overall. I was surprised to see a 51 Indian Warrior in nice shape, another one you don't see too often. The parking lot can be as good as the show. There was a turbocharged Bimota Rickman that looked pretty interesting. Then, not far away I spotted a blue EBR, almost thought it was Froggy but as I got closer I saw the lack of electronics on the handlebars. Did find out it was another Badwebber, Chris if I got that right. We both spotted a mint looking black 06 or 07 XB12X nearby, but no owner in sight. If that's someone here, let us know. |

OOhh, turbo Rickman Bimota?!?! PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. One of my best buddies growing up had mom/dad serious RIDERS from California... dad's boss had a Segale framed Suzuki GSXR1100, bored to 1350, roadracer. BARELY street legal. Rolling chassis was about 200#, IIRC, dang! As a kid, I sat on it a while. |

Only picture I got was the Bimoto, spent days trying to figure out how to get it off of my phone. May have overdone it a little but here it is.

Awesome! I love old 70's and 80's bikes, especially customs and exotica like that Bimota. Thanks for sharing. |

I love the baked red paint on the tiny exhaust. I wonder if fire comes out of it when coming off of boost? |
