While in Austin..........................

We got to Austin last Wednesday morning and found the place where the Hand Built Motorcycle show was to be held. They had a several bikes parked outside so I took a few pics. No one acknowledged we were even there, probably due to the fact they were prepping for the show. We didn't ask to go inside.

Here is a pretty cool Bultaco street bike.....I have only seen Bultaco motocrossers and trials bikes so this was a pleasant surprise.

At COTA we were supposed to get pit passes from Michael Larkin with Akrapovic Exhausts (a favor from one of my customers here in Memphis)
but it just didn't work out. He was always so busy speaking with journalists and officials.
Anyway, they had on display and absolutely stunning Harley-engined board racer. The crafsmanship was a sight to behold.

Wow! Thanks for the great pictures. Where's the gas tank on that HD board racer? And what's a board racer?
