2013 Rad's Extra Sharp Motorcycle Show - Part 1
The 4th Annual Rad's Extra Sharp Motorcycle Show was once again held at Bass Lake Cheese Factory in Somerset, WI.
Please note that the place is called "Bass Lake", not "Ass Lake", no matter what the unintentionally bad camera angle below might imply. Actually, it looks like someone tried the scrape the "B" off the sign above too but got caught or got bored. Maybe Tom can hook them up with some yellow paint.
Seriously though, it's a good location. They're at the end of a very curvy road and sell tasty cheese, hot food, and beer & wine.
This was my third year attending (I missed the 1st). I really like this show because it's small and laid back and attracts a diverse group of bikes. I also like the fact my wife and daughter have followed me out there in the car all three years so we can just spend the day hanging out. The fact it's the only show where my Sportster has won anything doesn't hurt my feelings towards it either.
If you didn't know, Tom Rad organizes this event each year in addition to Rumble on the Deck in Stillwater. His day job is painting (Rad Paint) and he has a really nice collection of bikes. I don't recall seeing this ironhead Sportster chopper before but it was BEAUTIFUL.
I have about 100 photos from the show ready to go so expect a series of at least half-a-dozen posts to get through them all.
