Advice for entering in a Bike Show 2 Years, 8 Months ago  
There is going to be a Car/Bike show in town this weekend, and I thought I would enter my Roadie. It has been years since I've really paid attention to the presentation of the bikes at a show, mostly just looked at the cool scoots. Is it the norm to have the mods listed on a card or something at the bike with the make/model and owners name? It isn't a big show or anything like that, just main street blocked off and the vehicles lined up. The car club is running the show, so there is 20 categories for 4 wheelers and only 2 for bikes. I figured I would give it a shot, what the heck eh?

Back to the S-100 & Quick Mist.

Slam it to the ground. That's enough to reel them in. All the rest are chrome doo dads...
If you put it in a remote, you can spend the whole day screwing with people's minds. It passes the time...

The ole' man is right, clean, clean, clean...

Good luck!

Chico:

I put the progressive / lowered springs in there a while back (1-1/2" - 2".

The 6-degree rake lowers the bike up front a bit more, too.

A mirror to show off that hidden chrome LOL I think a card with info could be helpful considering it is a car show not bike show. Plus a gear head might get more out of the viewing IMHO I know you will be able to eat off any part LOL don't forget the detail spray and rag for the show might be dusty on the road. Just have fun.
Paul bonus if you can name the spot my bike is at in my sig you have been there.

Is that in front of the Mill in Stockport?

The mirror.. That is a good idea. Now I'll have to detail my Tricky Air Shock!!
