Visting Show and Shines

Show and shines

I the past few months I have become more interested vintage bikes and started to visit a few show and shines. 

This has, naturally, culminated in my purchase of vintage bike of my own.  No pictures until it has been polished and shined. Still I have collected a number of pictures of some very nice vintage machines.   I thought I would share my photos, never known they might spark an interest in other out there. 

I’ll start with this really sweet Ducati







A set of nice Hondas





And this really nice Café racer.  Nice look for a Honda



Then a couple of sidecar rigs, one Harley 45 and  a Motto Gusie





And a bit of a soft focus shot of a BMW



These are fun events and if they were a bit closer I would be taking my new ride. 
Unfortunately it will only go 80 Kph, and I have a 100 stretch between me and the A & W.

Nice shots Tony!! 

What did you buy yourself? I have some interest as well, but it will have to wait for retirement, then I would like to do a restoration...I always wanted a Bultaco Metralla - say similar to this one:

Great pics,there is a lot of interest in the oldies.
At the moment i have a 1965 Honda S90 & will hopefully be finished in the near future.
Already on the lookout for the next project ,a Honda Benly ( just got to find the right time to inform the wife)
Cheers

What did I buy  you ask? 

Well here is the wife and son waiting for the arrival



And here comes the my little girl on my 1984 Honda Passport.  (the V-rod is hers by the way)

She considered it a bit of a step down from the Harley.  We humor her.



Even my son tried it out



He was not that keen to have his  picture taken on it but he did ride it

The RD350 in the background doesn't look too bad either... kinda partial to those, having owned one in my youth.

You could take notes from the RUB's on how they arrive at Sturgis. 
Haul your bike to a location just short of the destination,
then ride victoriously into town.
