No Purple People Eaters, but there was a purple Monster. And what a Monster it was - complete from Dr. Frankenstein's lair with a transplanted Dual Spark engine, and stacked eyes. This Monster, won best Naked bike, beating out some stiff competition.

The highlight of the afternoon, for many, is the raffle. Our gratitude goes to Charlie, Dennis, Elizabeth, and Jon, for their help in making this a success. As usual, there were tons of great stuff from our favorite sponsors, and we always appreciate their support. This year's sponsors include:
