I really went just to see my good friend Wade Halbert, as I haven't seen him a whole lot lately....he was there judging some models (that machete shows how tough he is with his jugding lol)

This was real cool too...a restored BMW from WWII (everything is supposed to be original, except for some of the runner parts)...(just a few shots)...The man who owned it was there with his dad, who actually rode a motorcycle like this on the Eastern front...he did not want to have his picture taken :( He was a very nice old man though...showed us his only remaining photo from the war...him on his bike in France during a rest and refit with a French girl...a very nice, candid photo
