    So, today I went for a little ride on my Chang to Andy's Bike-show. Andy is a local old car and motorcycle enthusiast, who put on a bike show this year. I had a great ride to the show, and home. Not far for you folks, I think I only rode a hundred km or so today. Tomorrow though, I'm going to ride up to Duncan to see if I can't get my picture taken with Charley Boorman, 'cause I'm a nerd. Anyway, there were a few hacks at the meet, and boy were they nice! I should have walked around more after lunch and taken more pictures, as a few more had shown up too. Thanks to Nick in PRC for sending me the headgaskets, I wouldn't be back on the road right now without them!

    If you were here today and have some pictures, lets see 'um!

    So, here are some pictures:

    And here are a couple of nerdy shots I took on the way home, of my bike on the little road through the forest. It's a second gear sort of chugging along road, which I like, and so does my tractor of a bike.

    This is just for the folks that get uptight about photo cropping, hahaha!

    It looks like you had a very nice ride! I really like the look of those flathead motors!
