Theres a whole lot of people that go, even just for people watching. Its not just vintage bikes its just a great day to mess around with the bike thing..see you there.
I guess bikes are in my blood.
This is my Mum sitting on my Dad's shiny new Red Hunter before they were married.
He persuaded her to take it for a spin, with a warning not to fall off, especially on the exhaust side.
Inevitabley she did fall over - on the exhaust.
He took her home and finished with her.
Six months later he asked her out again - and the rest as they say, is history.
I'm hoping to be there. Still deciding on the bike to take. RC30, Norton Commando, or Laverda Jota?? Took the RC last year, might be the other's turn.

Saw a beautiful (1959 or 1960?) BSA Gold Star 500 going east on Steveston Highway about an hour ago, probably on its way to the show. That sound brought back so many great memories.
Went to the show. Lots of good old iron and nice people. Attitudes are left at the door. Made some deals and saw some rare bikes. Two thumbs up.:thumbup:thumbup
It was a great show; the parking lot was full of beautiful bikes! It was certainly worth going. I got to meet Mechanic and BooBoo11, which was a nice bonus.
Did any of you have the pleasure of watching the dude on a "tuned" vintage Vespa? He was wearing yellow leathers and was ripping through the rear parking lot after the show...he proceeded to high-side the thing, had his ass thrown a foot off the seat, legs went straight out and...somehow...he managed to save it. Mind you he was going no more than 10km/h. It was really funny.
I couldn't get a pic of the Ariel at your booth unfortunately. That corner of the hall was a zoo.
