The Swap meet was happening early and then the Australian National Chopper Show got underway.  Crusty just got back from Sturgis and like he said in his report, the choppers here give nothing away and in most cases surpass what's happening elsewhere in the world. One couldn't help but to be impressed by the ideas, the finish and the sheer quality of workmanship proudly exhibited for us to marvel at. Admittedly not to everyone's likes but one couldn't help but be impressed by the artwork and the sheer dedication on display. This year's winner was just like one red belt said, Awesome. Wish I owned a vehicle with a bur walnut wood grain dash like it has......then again I would probably just end up off the road cause I couldn't take my eyes of it. The depth of the finish was so deep that it was bloody hard to photograph. Every individual exhibit was a credit to every participant there. Congratulations.

Following straight on from the choppers were the burnouts and hell, didn't they put some smoke up! A few tricky manoeuvres, add some nice donuts and the crowd enjoyed tyres popping one after the other. A good show guys.

A little easier on the eyes, we all adjourned then for another round of Miss Bike Week and again the crowd enjoyed the scenery.

Chainsaw, Chainsaw, Chainsaw..............

The annual service for those riders gone but not forgotten and then the Tattoo and Body Piercing Comp followed soon after. Always something going on somewhere. The Trade stalls finally saw big crowds and the car park filled up. Bike Week dinner, fireworks and more entertainment. It just didn't stop!

ahhhhhhhhhh Bike Week mode........dunno what it is?.......then learn.....you just slip into it...........get there!............let it happen.........
