Show vs Go

I've had a couple of back and forths with Pete from NY (Kaboom) on the other board that I'm going to continue here. That way I can say; "holy shit Pete, what an awesome bike!"
I find it interesting that Pete says Kaboom is going to the desert roads in CA so he can run balls to the walls. Then he references smoking the tire all the way to Laughlin. Got to love it!
Almost everyone I've seen buying one of the really high end Mountain bikes will occasionally show up at a Bike Night but hardly put any clicks on the speedo and never toast a tire. I think a number of them get their rocks off unloading from a trailer, sitting it in a show for 6 hours and getting a trophy. I have nothing against that, it's just not my style. I've really got to hand it to Pete having such an awesome bike, spending the big bucks, and riding it like referenced. Pete, you have my respect and admiration for rocking and riding that machine! Screw the miles, enjoy the ride!
I've rented Harleys from Dudley Perkins in SF and gone north to Mendicino and south to San Diego on numerous trips. I can only imagine how great it would be on a V8. I'm sure the CA crowd would have great appreciation for a bike like Kaboom.
Pete, if you log on here and read this, please post some pics of the bike. The guys here are a bit more global and will really enjoy seeing it.
