Well it's the day before show time and we are packed and ready to head to the show. For those unaware we are displaying my uncles 1968 Aermacchi / Harley Davidson 125cc record holding bike. He set the record in 1972 stock 125 class. We just realized it may very well have a second world record as well. We hope to find out more about getting a second record in Guiness becasue it was also.......

Anyway I brought a decent camera and am planning on taking pictures at the event. I will post a boat load on this thread when I get back on Sunday. Given that they are doing 100 years of Bonneville there should be some amazing machines present.

I'll try not to get too much drool on your bike!
[thumbsup] [drool] time for a [drink]
Just got back from The Quail. :o :o :o :o Holy smokes. Too tired to post up pics tonight but will work on it tomorrow. Still wiping the drool off my face.
Just added this link to the album. With over 200 photos it made no sense posting them all in the thread. So here is a link, I hope you all enjoy the pics half as much as I enjoyed the show.
