Post by: 96turboracer on March 19, 2009, 12:44:01 AM: Thanks guys, It's going to the local show here tomorrow afternoon. It's going to display Fri, Sat, Sun.

I sincerely doubt I'm going to win anything, simply because my bike only has $3500 into it, wheras their bikes probably have $35000, but I'm hoping the exposure will help my current jobless situation :)

you ever going to pad your seat?

I've been going back and forth on whether or not I want to.

Currently I have a bicycle gel seat pad sitting in my closet. I was planning on cutting it to fit my seat pan, re-stitching it, and velcroing it to the seat pan. I'm just not sure right now if I want to do that or not.

Post by: 96turboracer on March 23, 2009, 01:22:24 AM: Hey guys, just got back from the show, was pretty cool, I was honored to be involved. Lots of high dollar rides!

A few notes about the show:

That dragster drove into the show, and it drove out. Very cool!

The pro-gasser style cars were awesome as well.

Your eyes are not deceiving you on that pro-street truck, it has dual blowers on it. and it runs and drives as well, drove right past me on the way out of the show.

Rumor was on that green corvette that the owner has amost half a million into it!

There were quite a few trailer queen type vehicles there.

Not too many bikes though.

I did end up with a small trophy, I think they created a class specifically so I would get something, they gave me first place in the: Homebuilt one-off custom catagory :)

Overall it was a pretty fun experience. I was definitely in over my head as far as money was concerned though. tons of money in there!

Anyway, check the pictures, let me know whatcha think....
