does it qualify me for rocker status if i ride my s4r there without a front fender?  i'm thinking it takes more than that (street cred?) but doesn't hurt to ask.

Only if you wear a leather bomber helmet and RAF goggles   ;D

Oh, and your fender is getting clear shot tomorrow AM (after morning coffee)  [coffee]

SO what classifies a moto as a "Mod" or a "Rocker"?  Or is it the rider that's classified?  I think I've got it figured that scooters are "Mods" and everything else is "Rocker."  What about my 2002 Guzzi Le Mans?  Not a vintage bike (well maybe the motor  [bang]  [laugh] ) but still... "Rocker"?

 [laugh] All this talk from Hooligans on this board trying to fit in? What is up with that!  [puke]

Although I stole this from DLS, may I suggest you go as Mockers or RockOdds  [moto] give up on worrying about your image, and have fun being yourdamselves!  [thumbsup]

Wish I could go... I gotta work  :'(

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Someone very wise* once said: "If you're trying to fit in -you don't, so just be yourself"





*that was me, by the way    :)

Very true, very true.  I was worried more about working in with the spirit of the event.

But at any rate, I can fight, if that helps  [evil]

I think the spirit starts, traditionally, with pints of stout...

Oh, and speaking of stout spirits and such, I was over @ Rust Restoration last night helping the proprietor
tinker on his new 749/Monster suspended 1975 Triumph bobber... that should be there and is worth checking out.

It's loud enough Duke was shaking and looking for a place to hide  ;D

Most Excellent, Mr. Red. I'll be at the Belmont Saturday morning by 9:30 [thumbsup] ;D

What about the meet and greet tonight @ The Bel happy hour and music at Smoke (the restaurant beside the hotel)?  [beer]

Do you have to register to attend Sat events? That's
prolly all I'll do.

No, you have to register but if you plan on going to Lee Harvey's and Trees afterwards then you'd have to pay the regular admission price into those venues. I think that Lee Harvey's where the judging takes place is about $10-15 to get in + lots of beers.  [drink] Thing is if you register you get a spiffy t-shirt and free entry into all venues. I'd sneak ya in in my tank bag if I could.  ;D
