Chicago Motorcycle Show

Here are a few pics from the show. No, I didn't have a dead battery in my camera and have to run a mile in my flip flops to get a new battery. I simply pointed and clicked to bring these pics to you but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless.

Man I wish I was there again. I went 7 out of 8 years, but after falling off of a dump truck several years ago and having my shoulder rebuilt from it, I couldn't ride anymore. So I quit going to the show. There some awesome bikes there.

Thanks for the pic's, look great.
Some of the paint is crazy, you have to see it in person.
Did you see any of the Fire type flames, you can feel the heat comming off of them

Is the motorcycle show and the car show at the same place ?????

Yes there are some awesome paint jobs out there. The flames are pretty cool. The bike with all of the skeleton heads was kinda creepy if you looked at it for too long.

The shows are in two different locations. There would be way too many people for both events to be held together. I kept looking at the crowds of people thinking that I should do more bike details but they are such a pita. I'd rather stick to cars and have time to ride.

I was freaking out over how bad the bikes looked. All the ones that people could sit on were a mess! They were full of fingerprints, swirls and your general assortment of public blather. Yuk. What kept putting me over the top was all shoe scuffs on the bikes with bags. If you don't lift your leg high enough to clear the bags you'll leave big scuffs on the top of the bags. The bags on my bike cost just shy of $1000. I'd kill someone if they scruffed'em.
