Got asked to put my bike in the local show

One of the local club members asked me to put my 1300 in the show last weekend. They were reaching out to people trying to add more variety into the their spring show. I cleaned her up the best I could put it in, didn't really care about the judging just had a fun time at the show with the wife and kids. I think I was the only Kawasaki in the show, and I was surprised how many people loved the bike.




There were some neat bikes, the real jems were a 53 Triumph and a 59 BSA brought by their original owner.




My brother's friend was there with his drag bikes, the one on the left runs in the 6.80's with a shitload of nitrous....



I have never been in a show before, it was a lot of fun. The local club here is really laid back, they will let anyone in. The classic car club I have been around are full of a bunch of A-holes that are just stuck up about everything... so this was nice for a change.
If I knew what I was doing all the time life wouldn't be any fun.

Congrats! And nice bike!

I entered my Z1B and a MX bike in a local show a few years back, got 1st with the dirtbike. I think the judges (small local stuff) just like variety and don't really know what they're looking at.
