Oh man. I already have plans. Oh well. It's kind of far away now that I'm back in ATL.

If you're going, have fun!

Hey CC rider - Joe and I will be there on Saturday. Were both busting our asses to get the Superhawk painted and done to bring it up there along with Joe's Guzzi.

We'll see you up there if your going.

Hey CC where abouts in NC are you? I wish my 200 was up for the journey, but alas the engine still has not been rebuilt!! and I still have front brake issues!

Hey there CC rider! It was nice to meet you. We all had a great time at the show. My bike took first place in it's class and Byrd's Superhawk took 2nd in his and also won the VJMC award! We were both very proud!

Joe and Eric (Byrdman),

It was a pleasure to meet you guys yesterday and see your bikes in person. I was thoroughly impressed. Your awards were well deserved.

Here are a few more pictures from the show:

BTW, the last shot in Joe's post, I think, is the immaculate Suzuki that nudged out "Red Molly" for 1st in its class. (No shame there)

Words can't describe hearing your name getting called for a trophy... That was absolutely awesome! I couldn't even remember my own address when I was filling out the paperwork for the VJMC award.

Chris it was very nice meeting you as well and I cant wait to see the 450 in person next year. the tank and seat looked even better in person than it did in the photos.

That Suzuki was absolutely gorgeous. The pictures don't do it justice. I don't know if the aluminum parts were polished or chrome - they were that polished. It would not look out of place at all sitting in the Barber museum. I had no problem coming in second place to that piece of art. To be honest I would have voted for it if mine hadn't been sitting in the same category ;D

What an awesome day...
