how a bout a bike with a wooden frame.......

Perhaps the manufacturer has used a wooden frame to make sense of the fact that the passenger might seem like a sparrow perched on that saddle hanging on nothing... ;)
BTW, nice report Mr. Ratman!

   All three of us have been at different years to the show and this year was a bit of a let down. The 2 lads I was with are H-D riders ..no nothing against them and I do hang around with them. But they had the same opinion as i did, there seemed to be something lacking.
The one place selling belts for example had tons of belts with trucker themed engravings, nothing with bike stuff. Even the dealers seemed to have minimal stuff on the floor, I personal think the Indian dealer had the largest display and the most merchandise for sale. The section for swap meet things was almost empty only like 3 people set up there. And most of that was dirt bike stuff.
But it was a decent show some interesting stuff learned and seen and now to move forward with it. I did see a guy from Toronto who builds custom side cars......food for thought as I get older and reach the age bracket of 49 and GB.......
Anyone looking for parts should list it in the looking to buy and then when other members are out at swap meets they might be able to find it for you. I am looking for nothing for myself right now. But I know a few people looking for 800 speedo visors.

Looks like fun time and some cool bikes.  Not sure about wooden frame bike.  If you put that much time building a machine why use wood for a frame.  IDK.  Just because I guess.  Thanks for looking for a speedo visor and the pics......

some cool choppers, that is the Spider bike from American Chopper and Paul Jr. was there and crazy long line to get your picture taken with him....Horny Mike and Rolly were also in attendance but the line up to get a picture was nuts......besides I have my picture with other far more famous and important people like Troll, GB, Driftingirl, oh and any other member of this forum....

   Took a few shots at the Toronto Bike show, not a Drifter in the building. Not a cruiser at the Kawasaki display, only sport bikes. But got a few shots one for GB and his John Deere fetish. Some really nice old bikes for the older riders.....
