I put the Savage in another show. This time I didn't place. They had one catagory for about 30 mc's. I was competing against a $40,000 cusome HD. He was parked right beside my bike. Of course he came in 1st. Had Tony the Tiger on the tank with flames on the fenders and tank. His paint costs $60 an ounce! Whatever. It was all chromed out. And I mean all chromed out. But guess what. He tries not to ride the bike too much. Doesn't want it to get scratched,etc. He has a $40,000 bike that he trailered to the show. He parked the trailer and drove it into the show, but didn't drive it all the way. He also yelled at his kid to get away from the bike with his soda can, and not to touch the white cloth onto the chrome after he touched the paint. He was wiping it down after a rain storm. The bike was beautiful and I voted for it for first place, but I would rather ride my bike than spend $40,000 and not ride it. Second went to a HD Sporster that was customized a little. I had voted for her bike also (as third though, since I voted for mine as second) and third went to another HD that had nothing special on it. No entrance fee, knew I wouldn't win (too many HD)but my bike was seen by alot of people that don't normally go to bike shows. It was a 4th of July festival/car and bike show. Can't win them all! More bike pics to come. One more piece to put on. Trying to do it today.
