This year the much-n-news machine exhibited at the show was the Uno. Tinted with orange and grey shades, the Uno strikingly made its first public manifestation evenhanded on its two side-by-side wheels and its foot pegs. It was lacking the opportunity of George Jetson riding over it but still managed to break heads by standing away from the gamut of other custom built creations.
