Notes From Above Ground...

BILLETPROOF 2008

I made it to and fro Billetproof Detroit, 2008... Although I was plagued by some clutch issues, loosening of my springer axles nuts and our chase vehicle losing and loosening rear wheel lug nuts, all was well and we partied all day and into the evening. The show was cool as usual and getting bigger. The Pan ran great and survived a sweet burnout. Shit, the only bikes in the burnout pit belonged to the SpeeshifterS - my '59, Dirty Steve's '49 and Dirty Dorothy The Triumph Tramp. We met up with a fellow friend and Brit Iron man "Mark" at the show and went to Boomer's for some post-party food & spirits, pool and mechanical bull riding for the ladies. We headed back to the hotel, where we continued to indulge in many frosty brews and party liquor. We continued our evening's adventure out in the hotel parking lot where the hotel stashed all of the old beds, couches, dressers, chairs, lamps, and other breakables while they refurbished the interior. We set up our own little camp and trudged on, until the pizza guy and rain came, simulataneously. The delivery guy kind of looked like Powder... Nice fella...
All good fun. More photos to come...
