putting rune into a bike show

[stewie]

I remember some other people has done the same... need some ideas on making the "rune info sign"... what do you suggest I put on it, im assume "Honda Rune", cc's, weight, etc...

what do you suggest? any hints or advise? this will be my 1st time ive ever put a bike into a show....

When I had my info boards made for my theme bikes I always had the name of the bike in bold above the specs.

HOGZILLA
builder name
frame specs
engine and make and hp
wheels
tank, fenders and who fabricated
seat
exhaust
painter

name and number to contact

On the Rune I would highlight any aftermarket parts or modifications and then a few of the specs that people would want to know. You know some of the questions that people ask. Good Luck

Well,you know I'd have to say something. I've entered mine twice and put it under Class: Japanese Stock/American made/04. Walked away and not to my surprise won both times. When nearing your bike a few people will be drooling and at that time you can opt to answer questions or just say some gibberish like that one's getting my vote for sure,and watch whom follows you over to the ballet box. It's kind of boring to hang around unless there is a ton of other things to do. I'd like to say good luck,but you won't need any! dog

Your right about the boring part Dog. I like the 3 hour night shows we have here in the Cape of which I have 8 trophies for the Rune and my 109. The all day car & bike shows bore me to tears after the first 2 hours. I did one and it took up my entire Saturday..never again.

Lets give stewie some of our trophies and save him the wasted time he's in for. His best trophy is his Rolex: I've seen it in person.dog

I agree with the bike shows. They are terrible and I no longer participate in them. I have been in three day shows where I had to be present and talk about the bike etc... I won't be doing anymore of those. I have always enjoyed visiting with people about my bikes but it is a lot more fun to do it in the parking lot so when I am tired and want to ride I can. Stewie you will get this out of your system ..........pretty fast I bet.

[stewie]

boy... pretty negative vibes about the bike shows...

[Runeatic]

Isn't your weekend worth more than a $10.00 trophy? I go to the short night show so I can eat, have some drink, check out the bikes and babes, chew the fat and then I'm outta here.

Go for it Stewie.. Personally, I think you already have the best trophy-the Rune. It's always nice to do something new. You will do well in the show and I suspect after it is said and done, you will say it was fun and great experience, but probably not again. I believe we do not need someone else's validation for something we already know. The rune is a great bike. Period..... :D

[Bardo]

Good luck Stewie, I'm sure you will enjoy yourself, I know I did. I can give up a weekend as long as I'm around all the bikes and the people with the same interest as mine. I would do it again and probably will.

There's a couple local shows here in San Diego that run from roughly June through September, one being on a Wednesday night every week, the other every Thursday. Nothing but Hogs, trikes and some custom choppers for bikes, but lots of great 72 and earlier cars. Can't wait to park the Rune and take away some of the steam from the other bikes. :P
