@ Estados, thanks....it means a lot that you came forward with this. I don't hold you to blame at all since he's a member and wouldve been welcome anyway even if you hadn't brought him.

This is just a lesson we've all learned and next time we all need to keep an eye on our stuff since we are in a public area.

He and one other member who I won't mention will NOT be welcome at any rides or events I host. I've had enough of drama since the BBQ and empty veiled "threats" and insults posted on here and the NYC ride thread over something the member created on his own over not winning a damn piece of plastic. Anyone wishing to discuss any of it is welcome to PM me or see me in person, I'm done with BS posts and I refuse to take up BBQ issues on someone else's event post..

I will NOT let any of this ruin the next BBQ!

I've got the pics from Sat and Sun from my buddy Shawn and I'll post them up later tonight

Hey G.,
I just noticed that you had said there were some food items left and that people should have asked before deciding to take some.
I went to the tent after the show and noticed that there were a TON of hamburger and hotdog rolls.
I asked someone there (who didn't have a nametag, but was behind the grill) if I could grab a bunch to give the the local church
near my house for their food bank. I was told that I could because they would be "thrown out if not", so I did AND i gave them to the church when I got home.
I just didn't want to see them wasted.

Just letting you know.

PS: I like the thought of a Retro category, as well as maybe a Mini 20" category?

I also know that I had my two coolers that were filled with the leftover unprepared food. I had to remove the food so I could load up with water for everyone at the ride Sunday. Under the direction Of one of our great chefs I was offering the leftovers to anyone that wanted them. I hope my actions were not perceived as looting. I just felt we didn't want the food to go to waste.

People, its all over and we've all learned lessons for next time. I just want to try to think of the positives of it all since thats what it was meant to be. Some of the stuff since then has been a pain in my ass and I just want to move on

At this point, next year it will be a day of different bike games with awards and prizes for contestants, different classes for longest skid, bunny hop contests, bike limbo contests, kids bike games etc. That way I wont be accused of hosting the "Illuminati" of bike shows etc  

I JUST WANNA HAVE FUN and hang out with friends, make new ones and RIDE!!!!

Prizes,Trophys or not we will still try to make it.

We had a great time as I said before I dont need dust collectors to remind me of a Awesome time.

Thanks for putting on the show & I hope it continues next year. This was my first show other than the rides I have gone in and I had a great time and so did my daughter (blonde girl riding the chrome/purple GT Vertigo & the pink Windstyler). From my involvement in running/judging car shows over the years, I thought it was pretty smooth and the volunteers made a huge help but with everything, there is room for improvement. If you remember a few months ago, I mentioned creating a retro/custom class. Also possibly a kids class.I saw quite a few kids cruising around on some cool bikes. My daughter had to place her full custom Windstyler into the stock pre87 freestyle class... Not a chance in hell for her. She was a good sport about it but still didn't undestand why the judges didn't look at her bike... I told her there really wasn't a class for it with all the modifications, that they were judging for era correct bikes. So, maybe with a class for it, she won't feel left out next year.

Thanks to the photographer for the awesome shots of her bike btw!

You're welcome.

G, I'm sorry to hear about the show being cancelled for next year, but I can totally understand why you don't want to deal with it anymore. I still plan to be there next year and I'm sure it will be just as much fun without the show.

I wish I could make it up there for the ride tomorrow, but I'll be staying local and doing the usual thing with my Wife and Kid.

Oh and I'm still anxious to see those pics.

Cool def want to see those but don't have a facebook.

There wasn't many competeing in the events at hand this go round, what makes you think they would next year .....

My fat ass isn't about to try bunnyhopping, but a skid contest or slalom type of event? I'd be down for that.

  right there with you Jon! Throw a ramp in the mix and I will out faceplant ANYONE... (doesn't sound like much fun but the crowds love it!)

G, it's cool either way man... I never got back into bikes for a trophy or plaque... It's all about the bikes and the people that have them. I'm cool with just a show n shine bbq... No trophy's, no awards, just food, fun & some kickin rides.

Speaking of that, Anyone interested in a ride/swap in Bucks county  after Summerslam? (or before)

I liked the Race Inc in the foreground

That "Mel" dude was crazy annoying - asking me the stupidest questions when I was laying out my goods and propping up the display bikes. Do you have more, what's in the truck etc...

I kept responding sarcastic cuz it was really getting under my skin - and he'd quip back "just asking, just asking" and I had to keep responding "just answering, just answering"
He said he was from jersey city and asked if I would have him to my house to buy stuff - told him it dont work like that and that my house isn't a place of business, I don't do business there and he got all tweaked .....
To be honest, I see him again, you may have to ask me to leave the event.

When ya gave him a ride home, did he have a pair of wheels he had gone there with ? I'd say it's time for a neighborly visit.

I was hoping to have my video finished by now, but I haven't had power at my house for almost a whole week now. I'm hoping to have it back today, but I'm not holding my breath.

Come to think of it, he was asking me the most random questions also.

Dude was weird

I'm pretty sure he must have been the guy asking me questions about my parts as I was loading up the truck. I haven't really looked to see if everything I had with me is accounted for, so for all I know, he could have walked away with some of my stuff too. I wasn't paying much attention to him at all. I will be if I ever see him again though.

Hopefully he took that seat you can't get rid of!
