Riding in from PA on the Rat Max. Saturday then off to ADVrider party on Broadway afterwards.
Heated Vest - Check
Cheap Ass Wind Screen- Check
25 year old used VMax gotten for a box of parts- Check
No Common Sense- Check
Pretty sure I saw your bike parked outside when we left. I took some pics to confirm. But it was parked right at the end of ?36th? I think was the street next to an 09 that was for sale.
I will post up a few of my favorite pics from the show later today. Overall I thought it was a great show besides the crowd. The crowd wasn't bad at 9:30 but by 12 it was getting pretty ridiculous in there. Its bigger than most shows in the area and there were a lot of nice bikes to sit on and look at. We had a really good time and I will probably make a point to go back next year.

I'm really not sure how you could be let down by that show. Pretty much the full lineup from every major manufacturer, and any accessory or part you could ever want----what was missing you wanted?
Saturday afternoon that place was pretty much as crowded as it could get. I couldn't even get remotely close enough to see when the Ducati stunt show started.
I was somewhat surprised by the lack of fabulous "show" prices on a couple items I was looking for, seems most name-brand stuff was at it's normal retail or actually more. The one big booth with all the Icon stuff was a little cheaper(like $10), but nothing special. The LED lighting booth was selling kits for $20 more than the regular, everyday price at Custom Dynamics.
Otherwise, I thought it was a good show. Never mind it cost $47 to park for the day, and it took me probably 45 minutes to find my way back to the lincoln tunnel because my GPS kept telling me to take a ramp that didn't exist. I absolutely hate driving in cities.

That was mine. The RatMax in all its glory. Quite the pile of crap wasn't it. But I love it. I have 3 bikes in the barn, and its almost always my first choice to ride. I know I did not pick the nicest parking spot. But I its the RatMax. I spent the whole weekend working the Kawasaki area. And Its nice to be able to grab a smoke and see its the bike is still there.

The clutch cover looks pretty trick too! I like the looks of it but I think I wouldn't be comfortable on it. Would like to take it for a spin though!

The dealer that was there talking to us tried to talk us into coming out to his shop near quakertown, pa to take one for a ride. I know I can't afford it and if I go hes gonna wanna talk number. But it is definately tempting I would love to take one for a spin.

We got there around 9:15 and went straight for the bikes started at Yamaha and worked out toward Kawasaki and Triumph last. Early on was great we didn't have to wait to look at anything. We just hopped on twiddled the knobs a bit and moved on. By around 11:30 it was starting to get a little packed and by the time we left it was down right ridiculous in there. We were glad we left the vendors for last because we honestly weren't too interested in anything they had.

Had a couple additional photos a friend emailed me they can be found here http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?p=124223#post124223 as they are borderline NSFW so I figured I better not put them here.
