Default First Bike Show: Success
Well, I entered my first bike show yesterday and did pretty well. I got 2nd in the Modified Class, losing to a '10 Softail CVO with a slick paint job. However, I then proceeded to win the Participant's Choice & Judge's Best of Show for the entire thing. I had a number of people come up to me and say that the Modified judges were off their rockers for not giving me the 1st, but I was happy none the less. I've been so busy lately that I still haven't had a chance to put my Magnum cables on and the Shotgun Shock is still sitting in the house. Have to give a very special shout out to Malingerer who has been a constant voice of encouragement and advice through my mod process. Not to mention he has been very gracious when I copy ideas that he has implemented.

Awesome job. Ok so dumb question, but how do you find out about these shows and enter them? I wouldn't mind throwing my bike in a few when it gets done just to show something different.
