Another One for the Books!

Cheap Thrills was FANTASTIC!

I had a great time seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones. I love the motorcycle community. It's so refreshing to be around especially during the winter blues. I wish I brought my camera and captured the bikes on display. There was a Honda chopper in the show which lead me to a new goal......

ENTER THE SNAKE SHAKER IN NEXT YEAR'S CHEAP THRILLS SHOW!

I couldn't imagine seeing my name as a builder. I'm trying not to get too ahead of myself, but could you imagine? I would love to enter...

Asbury Park holds a lot of memories dear to me.  My family vacationed there for years, so I feel as though every wave has a memory tied to it. Every grain of sand has love etched into the texture. It's cool to see it when the season is down, although I love the summer, seeing it in winter makes you appreciate the stillness more.

We were vendors again this year and our booth was neighboring Sarah (@wild__belle) towards the stage. For those who don't know Sarah, She is a really cool chick who works leather pieces and sells some vintage attire.
She is extremely bad ass and super friendly to talk to. She worked her booth alone and it was pretty inspiring to watch her in action. Many people don't know how hard it is to sell or market your wares. You also have to have the energy and the ability to multi-task. Not only was she selling, but she was also working on more items and sewing leather. Major kudos to this girl. It's very easy to start talking to her, and she has an incredible back story to an accident that happen and changed her life. Later on, I saw her Instagram story and she was cleaning up the beach and throwing away garbage.








Vending the Retrofit booth is always a blast. Meeting new people, watching deals being made is a pretty cool experience. This year, I have to brag about Cal's tank mounts he made. They are pretty neat looking. They are a weld-on tank front mount for '74-'81 sportsters that give your sportster that "Frisco" look. They look cast but are actually 4 pieces welded together and finished to look it's cast one piece. If interested in purchasing contact Cal (@retrofitcycleworks)



Well here is to another great event with great people!

Thanks to Walter and Dusty for an event that helps kick the "Winter Blues":) 
 UNTIL NEXT YEAR........
