Was there today, picked up some pre unit parts and some compliments on my bike :) back tomorrow morning to see what else I shouldn't be spending my money on!

It was a great day for riding down there. Lots of stuff too look at and spend money on. Couldn't find what I needed specifically but lots of projects that would get me in trouble if I came home with them. lol

Great looking bike by the way. Never saw one like that before. What's the story behind the cluster cover? It looked like it rotated forward.

That was a hot and tiring day. Found some good stuff: flat tracker seat, CB350 seat, Akront high shoulder rim, CB450 camchain, vintage boots, Bell Super Magnum helmet, seat foam, shocks and a few other items. Could've bought more like the SL350 basketcase for $300 but I exercised self-restraint.

Hey it was great to see all of my DTT / VRRA / CVMG friends on Friday and Sat.  Sat especially was really busy, but fortunately I had a lot of friends cover for me so I could occasionally get around the show - thanks everyone who helped me at the booth.
Did a reasonable amount of commerce, ran out of business cards and price lists - so if anyone needs one, please email me.
I picked up some stuff I'd been looking for - well used aluminum front and back fenders and a complete real Lucas beehive taillight for one of my project bikes, some really small front and rear turn signals and finned exhaust clamps for the street tracker, yet another Honda 175 twin head to see if I can find a good camshaft and a Preston Petty enduro headlight / number plate for my Hodaka. 
Probably the most unusual items I bought were 2 new stamped expansion chamber "kits"(they have to be welded together) complete with tapered head pipes - for my Yamaha 200 twin.
Super weekend, lotsa fun.  Thanks everyone for stopping by the booth to say hi.

Sorry I missed out on it this year, but I need more junk in my garage like I need another strawberry and ice cream sundae.

.            It was a good day I was there all day.  When you turn on the key the blue cover over the instruments rotates forward its cool sort of .the RE 5 drew a lot of people. There sometimes 4 or 5 people around it at one time
