Default I won a trophy

Don't know how far and wide this flyer got out to, but some participants were all the way up from Miami. This happend this morning:



Since I'm close by, on a lark, I decided to attend and I register my bike for judging. As you can see in the flyer there were various categories that the registered bike wee judged on.

Only about 15 bikes were registered and most were there to show off their Big Wheel and draggin' bags and/or how loud their Stereo systems were..

My bike did not hold a candle to the others except for the Best Lighting category in which I did not have too much competition.

That being said my 7 forward facing Custom Dynamics white lights and fairing trim lights, my many CD and HD run/tail/turn rear facing red lights with CD flasher, my side facing Ciro front fork amber run/turn markers along with the side facing Ciro under saddlebag run/tun/tail light and my XKCrome underbike down lighting which brightens when brakes are applied, wowed he judges (and that is not an overstatement), so I came home with the Best Lighting Trophy.


Bruce Rossmeyer's Destination Daytona, 1st Annual Bikewise Bike Show (Street Glides Only), Best Lighting Trophy


I think you get the picture.

I have all the lights on my bike for improved visibility and MY SAFETY. It was not really my intent to win any trophys but it was nice to see the judges reactions when they looked over the bike. Makes me feel like I did good.

Sorry, had to add another pic.

Yeah, that's me...just as ugly as ever.


I'm sure next year will be a much bigger event with the competition much better.
