Pictures of Cirque
Somebody from the Richmond area who attended Cirque this weekend was kind enough to post a number of pictures on Craigslist. Looks like some beautiful bikes . . . . . and convinced me that I'll never show any of my stuff at future gatherings. My bikes look ridden, actually have some frame scratches, dirt in the crevices, wear on the paint from cable casings, etc. No way they can compete with the stuff shown.
Sorry I missed it. I'd dropped my hotel room last week as financial realities reared their ugly head, and I realized that I wasn't going to get Saturday off from work after all. Then the rear brake on the Harley started giving me problems Saturday night, so it goes into the shop later this week. With that bill coming up, the trip was killed completely.
Oh well, next year . . . .
