Tonik Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Anyone here. I'm on right side by the stage against the ropes. White t-shirt sitting on the ground Edited August 2, 2012 by Tonik To mention in the title there are pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I was thinking about stopping by just to check things out. I am sure it is extra crowded there. I don't think Paul Jr. makes any products for a 1982 Suzuki, but might be cool to see something he designed in person. How many Affliction t-shirts have you seen in the crowd? Just curious.

Tonik Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Didn't see any but want looking. I hate bike night but this was awesome. The bike is off the charts, built in ipad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Ok, pics are up. Was talking to one of the QubX guys...a fellow network dude. That bike cost 250K.http://www.flickr.com//photos/jimkennedy/sets/72157630862951506/show/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nautical1 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Good set of pics. I was there with 330Racing behind the stage to the right by the bike ramp. Didn't stay too long since once Paul Jr. got on stage everyone rushed up and you couldn't see much, plus I wanted to beat the mad dash out of the parking lot. Still a pretty cool event altogether.

redkow97 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Ok, pics are up. Was talking to one of the QubX guys...a fellow network dude. That bike cost 250k. Not to build. That's just what they PAID. I don't understand why these companies will pay a quarter of a million dollars for something so low-tech. Especially a technology company!So it has an iPad built in? Shouldn't a bike "that represents their company" have fuel injection, variable valve timing, 10 different traction control maps, ABS with electronic assist, throttle by wire, and a bunch of other stuff Paul Jr. Has never even heard of, let alone built?I get that most of that stuff doesn't belong on a "chopper," but that's part of my point. This bike is like an elevator in an outhouse. It's schizophrenic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I've known about this for weeks and have had everyone I know with a bike pretty much ask me to go.I found going and buying a washer and dryer far more satisfying than being anywhere within 10 miles of the Quaker last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Not to build. That's just what they PAID. I don't understand why these companies will pay a quarter of a million dollars for something so low-tech. Especially a technology company!To be on Discovery Channel for 30 minutes. It's the advertising, the buzz and the brand building that it does.So it has an iPad built in? Shouldn't a bike "that represents their company" have fuel injection, variable valve timing, 10 different traction control maps, ABS with electronic assist, throttle by wire, and a bunch of other stuff Paul Jr. Has never even heard of, let alone built?Qubx is a tech company, they are building a cloud system to provide full service applications on IPads so if you think in terms of advertising and the brand message the IPad fits right in.

jschaf Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I just appreciate good engineering. When form starts superseding function things start getting ugly in the eye of this beholder. Elitist & proud of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 lol I'm also an elitist because 90% of the people that were there would've have annoyed the living shit out of me so I stay away as not to offend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's common sense. Calling people that go to those events lemmings is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thicken up that skin a bit (but don't grow any fur). That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
