O.K., let me start with a few pictures. Maybe somebody else will add more....
All loaded up and ready to go. A commuter bike to go back and forth between home and track, the “pit bike” and a CBX for the ICOA exhibit.
We had hardly set up and traffic started already
One of the biggest attraction was,of course, “Sweepings” and everybody wanted to hear the sound of the new Pipemasters racing 6-6.
Lunch was being served in the Honda Pavillion and the line formed fast
The place was almost filled at capacity
It was a little quieter at “Manufacturer’s Midway” this year. Several vendors from previous years were not there.
Traffic at our PR tent, however, was booming
A few spots down the road, the VJMC had some really nice bikes too. Nick’s (last name?) awesome CB1100Rd
And two of an even rarer species. Not very often you see two of them at the same time
Another rarity in the swap meet. Price tag was $74K. Now, if the seller would just adjust his attitude ever so slightly, he may run less of a chance to chase away a potential customer.
He sure had some rather pricey merchandise
Judge for yourself
One for those who think they need to be faster than everybody else..
And one of two of you know what, that I saw for sale
Supposedly, it wasn’t running, that’s why the low price tag..
Acroos the road from us, was another old friend, Mark Mederski. Now working for the National Motorcycle Museum in Iowa
He brought a neat little exhibit with him
Finally, on Sunday, it calmed down a bit. The neighbors, including the VJMC bolted early..
..and resting a bit. Pondering the success and grooming the next generation to take over..
