badger, there were at least 3 forum members there, that came up to me. 

i forgot to add the  "was one of them you ?"

I did see you in the 7/11 when I was buying a load of Gatoraid but I had the worst hangover and smelled like corn chips and a**hole so I didn't think it would make for the best first impression

I hate to bring attention to this, but it looks like asphalt is spelled wrong.

DUUUUUUUDE! I can't believe I mispelled that, ::) :P :P after all the years of school....... That's ok that's what I get for going to fast, so here's what I am doing to rectify the situation. Spike cut the bottom of it off and do as you will with it and I have another one on the way because I can't let it down, your bike has too much perfection on it to let human error be placed on it.  I do believe the in the middle of the tank inbetween the gas cap and seat is the hot spot for it though. Be looking for another correct logo in the mail brother. ;D

Too much perfection *chuckle*  now if you're standing around the bike w/ Spikey while he's been drinking, just watch him try to fix what isn't broke and end up breaking stuff... :D

It's ok Goon, it's a well known fact sign people can't spell.

There were several signs in the shop the other day that had Georgia spelled Gerogia(they weren't ours).  I pride myself that I've had very few errors over the years, but they do happen.  Still a really nice piece.

thanks dusty, I too know the feeling we had some signs go to a theatre that said consessions instead of concessions. That sign went through design,enginerring,us(cnc) and was assembled, painted, shipped and installed and the gc of the job said "hey look at the spelling on that, hmmmmm". lol

Unfortunitly thats whats gonna be happening with my GPz project...very soon

Not to hijack but....

PM me some info about your GPZ.... I'm interested.

Spikey:

Truly an inspiration. Lots of work over a short period. In the end it paid off nicely. I am extremely jealous. My CB has been gathering dust for years. I only hope I can make it into something as obviously special.
