So yesterday my friend/roomate Jered, Andie, and myself all rode over to Greenville, SC to go to the Cycle World Int'l Motorcycle Show. I went to it last year here in Atlanta, but they didn't come to Atlanta this year so this was the next closest one. Had a freakin awesome time.... got to go for a ride, hang out with great friends, and see all kinds of bikes... what could be better?!?!

Anyways... on with the pics. Sorry some are kinda blurry... it's really hard taking pics in places like this, the lighting sucks for pics (too light to use the flash, yet too dark not to... sucks!)

Jered and I went to the McD's in Hartwell, GA to meet up with Andie and get some B'fast before heading to the show

I was planning to head out there but figured i'd take an out of state trip next month.

Good pics. That Bayliss bike is a worthy tribute.

On the Moriwaki 250....It has an engine based on dirt bikes. A new trianing tool for 12-15 year old to get into the sport.

It was a great show. I went up there Saturday morning but I bitched up and drove.
