In my previous life I was a motorcycle dealer and going to shows is so much work and costs so much money its really hard to justify going.     I totally get why shows are dieing a slow death these days.   

This is from his truck. 2 other spots from the other vehicles.

I think that the vast majority of rustproofing formuls are non-drip but regular oils or gear fluids used in the 1900's were very runny. Maybe your neighbour found an old school sprayer. LOL

I didn't go, we had hockey friday night and all day saturday - decided to spend yesterday looking at car audio stuff and getting some outside work done.   I will give the show the benefit of the doubt though - I think it's more about the current state of the powersport industry than it is the "shows" fault. A show is only as good as the vendors - the vendors depend on the industry ( and costs to them ) Everybody is looking to save a dollar these days - so it all goes hand in hand.   It's just a sign of the times and certainly is not limited to sleds.    

Sounds like the show has set an all new standard for crappyness this weekend.
