Thanks for coming out to my show. It was fun checking out your bike, quite the machine.
The big seller at the show were my fancy postcards. I get them printed on poster board at Costco, them cut them to 4x6. I bought a rubber stamp for the back. I sold several of them at $5 each. My high profit items were plain 4x6 prints where I sold a couple at $2 each. The prints are still up in Saratoga. Folks seemed to be impressed by them, but not impressed enough to buy any. Oh well.
