I must point out that while we all drooled over the fantastic exotica, many obtainable and not-expensive bikes shared the floor with these titans (I don't mean just Teledynes either!)
I need to forcefully make sure that you folks who did not get a chance to come, understand that the tone and style of this event is NOT elitist and incredibly open to the most wet behind-the-ears novice! Any first time attendees who are reading this, please tell Bruce and others how it is!
As far as "tears running dry" ... Just delete the reports if you are getting bored as we are still in a cloud and will not come down for a few more days!
Cheers Dale
