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?
