While at the show today I saw a pitbull that was painted by Ed.
The blue one with the girl wearing white on one side and black on the other.
Anyway Ed's paint is better in person than in pics. Truly awesome down to the finish. It was in the bike and rider judged show. I know the judge responsible for picking best paint. I made sure he took a long hard look at it.
We shall see what happens.
Anyway. Enjoying the show even with all the rain.

That's awesome. I was looking at it for a while but didn't see you.
I use to do judging at that event and still judge other events.
I hope me drawing attention to your bike was ok.
Well earned win. Beautiful bike sir.

Stryfox,
No problem at all with the posting. It was a long show so we did a lot of walking around. I was hoping to win Best Paint, but didn't. And as you know it was raining in the morning so I had to drive about 60 miles in the rain, then clean the bike. Thanks for all of the compliments.

Did you get beat by the bike with the moon in it that lit up?
If so, you gotta admit it was pretty cool.

I was there Saturday also. Your bike looked great. There was another pitbull entered in the radio contest to the left of the stage. I do not know how he made out but yours is nicer.

I took a ride over to see Mike at Black Dog Motorcycles and the building is now a fitness store. Did he move or did he close? A few months or so ago someone said they left their bike there on consignment. I wonder what happened to him?

Also Avon had a truck there and was selling and mounting tires. I asked the factory rep if they fixed the cracking problems with their tires. He said he did know of any cracking problems. After I looked him in the eye and said you are kidding he admitted that they had problems with the side walls a few years ago and fixed it. I had an MH90 front tire on my bike that cracked at the bottom of the tread after 3000 miles. He said the problem is tire pressure and we should run 42 in the front and between 45 & 50 in the back. He said to look on there website for the correct pressures. I replaced my front tire with a metzler and will be ordering a metzler rear in the next few weeks.

Bad dog, no bisquit
Black Dog moved 2 doors up river to the Boat shop. Banner in Window. Small show room and Randy is still the mechanic. I think Mike owns both buildings.

Bullshit on the Avon dude, I always ran correct pressure and had the cracking, still running my cracked sidewall front tire.
