Thanks to all! what a great success. At best guess over 60 Coconinos. I just handed out my camera and the following pics are the result.

Person from farthest away = Bill Hatcher, Sydney, Oz.



Random collections of cool-ass bikes. It was really cool to see not only the progression/time line, but also the customisation of each bike done by the owner as well as the pure variety of bikes I have built since early 2003. Closing in on around 300 bikes or so.
