Sorry fellahs, my boss's only compromise was work only a half a shift!
----How 'bout I only "freak up"a half day instead of a whole one? ---- I took the whole one. |

Charlotte IMS was a really good show. I recommend going next year or when it is in Daytona for Bike Week this year. I am amazed at how they balance the American bikes with the metrics at this one. If you get a chance, stop by the Ural bike area. Really amazing sidecars built specifically for off-roading. Still impressed with Shorhai batteries. Lots of interesting vendors.

Well, I'm not much of a photographer but here is what I have.
First one is the bike my wife wants, a Yamaha Stryker. Nice bike, 1300 CC, real low and raked out front end. Yamaha's answer to the Fury I guess. Next is a 40' tall billboard outside of the hotel we stayed overnight in. 3rd and 4th are of a USMC trike I liked in the custom builder contest. One other thing I saw but didn't get a picture of was a before/after of an old HD pan head. They had 2 bikes, one in original condition and another next to it all restored. Very nicely done.
