| ...and they went on for miles. |
| Mom finds a familiar face at Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum. |
| We found some cowboys, hotties, and some tough guys along the way. |
| Jim falls for a girl with junk in her trunk...literally! |
| We came, we drank, we bought. |
| Finally it came time for the rally in Grapevine, TX. |
| The Grapevine Convention center where Wing Ding XXVI was held. |
| People came from all over the US and Canada to see what's new this year in the GoldWing world. |
| Too much stuff and too little cash to go around. |
| Some folks had to take a break from all the spending. |
| Many oddities are found at these shows, like this covered bike/carriage-looking thing... |
| Yes! You CAN have too much chrome :) |
| ...new part installs (my bike getting the top of the line windshield)... |
| ...freehand pinstriping from the pros... |
| ...a sidecar for the insanely rich... |
| ...a car...or bike...or whatever this is... |
| ...some beautiful artwork and lighting... |
| ...and some machines with 454 power. |
 |
| My cabin and bike. |
| We disturbed the master at work. Oops! |
| Suddenly my 6'1" height didn't seem to be much at all. |
