My brother has two shops. If you look on the bottom of the RC you will see Lynchburg Saloon on one side and Lynchburg Chopper on the other One is mostly trinkets and leather but the other is pure bikes. He should be opening another in Meridianville, AL this spring sometime.

Sorry, but looks like Friday and Saturday evening are booked I do have your number so I may give you a shout to see what's up.

Hey no big Deal.. Buddies are staying there all weekend so if I miss the show, I won't missed the parties

Even he says the name may have been a bad pick but what is done is done. He also has a Chinese line that is decent (Zongshen), pit bikes (Extreme), joe rocket, alpine stars, fox dirt gear and other stuff. Most sheep gear(TM) comes from there. Though he has made some old style choppers also (not the fat tire beasts) Oh and he has a sweet YSR50 that he is resisting letting me take out

Though his main market is cruisers. Up to last year he also put on the Lynchburg motorcycle rally that was the second largest event in Lynchburg after the Jack Daniels Invitational BBQ (he sold the rights to it this year) Estimates are from 10000-20000 attending the last couple of years.

Finally I would like to have a Harley Lowrider with FI, and a BMW RT, and a flattracker, and .......

Shoei 2008 is it a bull or a Big Horn.... looks very cool in person

New A Stars boot is $400 so not getting one soon but this boot is killer. Seemed to be more protection that a SMX+ and more comfy than a GP3

New Dunlop tire to replace the 208GPa. Possible replacement of 209 Sportmax GP rumor heard

Bridgestone no new gossip but talked with them at length

Marchessi rim that is new but does not even have a name yet. Forged Mag and ULTRA light. Oh and remember the sheep concept of honeycombed Al (or Mg) embedded in a CF shell they now exist you skeptics

Booth babes, some even with a price tag

A picture of KR Sr for Abtech

Corruption by the baaa-d influence FrenchieR6 ended the day but no picture as my cell battery was to low

Migration south to civilized weather in the morning.
