    There were also a few street bikes on display.

      Don't see too many of these anymore.

        Some spectacular bikes, thanks for the pics.
        There is a guy near me with a Kenny Roberts Yammie. Would like to get my mitts on it.

          Bikes with heritage will increase invalue and are always sought after. The older bikes are relatively easy to maintain, but I wonder how the new bikes will last with their electronics etc.

            If you guys have a pic of the chopper anywhere I would love to see it. Some beautiful bikes pictured here; makes me want to build a race bike.

              He did put up a partial pic of the chopper a while back. Search Jellywrestler's posts. It's a monocoque GS1000....The same builder did both alloy and carbon/kevlar monocoques for roadracing.
