Eye Catchers in the show
Now, while the Bike Show is going on out front there’s good food, beverages and music going on out back and on the sides of the building.
The other part of what people come to see is Roadside Marty and the Awards Ceremony. Roadside is an Old Friend, and I really enjoy watching him being humorous to the audience when he comments on the motorcycles and their owners between trying to get women to change into the t-shirts he and the group are giving out. I have seen it happen in the past but only got a quick flash this year.
