My friends rode their '65 Triumph and Motoguzzi to the show and was told they had to shut off the engines and roll them in. Funny that the cars were allowed to drive in but somehow the bikes are more dangerous... Pete "Hot Dog" Finlan was striping anything and everything. I watched him stripe the front end of a '32 high boy in less than 5 minutes and it was f'n amazing! I walked down a row of vendors and when I turned around and got back to his booth he had just finished a gas tank on a vintage Harley. Unreal the detail and symmetry in his pinstriping. I was hypnotized watching him... Another weird sight was a huge presence of Army vehicles on display. I guess "camo" is considered primer.
