The show was absolutely amazing. Unlike auto shows, you could walk right up to the vehicle. There was no rope fence to keep people out. In order to compete, the bikes must run (in fact the owners ride to the podium to collect their trophies). So as you walked around, motorcycle engines would erupt in a cloud smoke accompanied by the sound of internal combustion.

Since owners needed to be present when the bike is judged, you are easily within earshot of conversations (such as magazine reporters) and can chime in with your own questions.

I did not go to the event the first two years. But, now I'm hooked!
