Well i went to the World of Wheels last night to see if I could get my car in. I decided not to go. My application didnt get sent in, kind of a mess so i ended up on stand by. One good thing is a got an early look at the show and I saw this truck called the Hero's Truck. If anyone has seen it, its unbelievable!!!!
http://www.heroestruck.com/pictures.html
Few things about it I rememebr
5 years to build
50,000 man hours
1,200 hours for the paid job
$80,000 Paint Job
$650,000 overall cost. :usa:
I saw it at he show last night, it opens tonight. I didnt have my camera, but i figured a truck this bad ass has to have pics on the web. IMO the website it great. The problem with seeing it in person is there is too much details to see. It sits to tall to even see the interior, and even if you opened the doors to see it you can't see the huge murals on the side.
Its best of show by far, but for thata price tag it should be :jest: Still one of the nicest show pieces I have ever seen. I cant think of much that compares and I've seen alot.

So, how was the show? I'll head down tomorrow with a bunch of people. I havent gone in 2 years. And 2 years ago, the show wasn't all that great.
A few nice BMWs from BPG/Diffsonline and Brad's Z.

That truck is really nice, we got to spend alot of time looking at it the nite we where setting up. You can really spend an hour looking at all the details..... Now with that said, those of you coming today stop by and say HI at my booth!

Nice show, saw a few nasty cars. Saw a few shitboxes as well! Nice meeting the guys at FMS cycles. Sorry I wasn't a bit more talkative. I still had a MEAN hangover. But I'm sure we'll see each other again at the Shriners show. I'll definately be there.

That truck was simply amazing! I looked at that thing for a good 20 minutes and just kept finding more and more stuff that made my jaw drop!
R1 I was at your display booth and was drooling over the single sided swingarm Busa. I talked to someone for a few minutes about it and was told how much.......DAMN I wish I had that kind of cash! :D

Thanks for the compliments man, we did get alot of attention from the Single sided busa, I was amazed at how many Non-Sport bike people where giving us props... I think I might have to invest in a single sided arm myself the R1 was loosing lots of love over that thing :)

LOL......that metallic paint on the R1 was the shi*! I loved how the red center on the wheels looked too! My g/f was like "you NEED that bike, you'd kill yourself on the Busa!"
:D

I saw that truck at SEMA last year. Absolutely awesome!
Now, explain the thing about chicks and bikes. A few of my buddies have them and they tell me stories about girls lining up to go for a ride (and more :) ). They're car guys too and they say the cars can't even compete.

Long been known that bikes do it for them a lot better than cars. Sport bikes draw so much damn attention! :D
