Pics from today. I only saw about 5 XSs . Maybe three in the show and a couple in the lot. A green 78 in the lot as we were leaving. A guy I met a while back had one there...look for the one with the brass fire extinguisher for a tank. A lot of nice iron. I was a teeny bit disappointed there were not more vintage bikes ridden in. Some in the show were but only saw a few in the lot. Toured some old aircraft too as it was held in a hangar. Me and my HD ridin' neighbor went.

Wow pumps that brings back some good memories...couple of questions... who in their right freakin mind drove a Honda 6 cyl CBX and if they made it into a movie it had to be "Death Wish 6"...One more time Ahh Bonneville so sweet...gotta admit that's what I really wanted but too cheap to go a couple of hundred more...I still love the XS I bought and know the Bonneville would not have held up as well hind sight being 20/20 but still feel that puppy love 34 years later. Did anyone ever run that thread...Did you really want a Triumph when you bought your XS new from a dealer?

Hey Pumps, Easytravel from Montreal here. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. Bonneville, water buffalo, THE Z1, CBX (early one without the fairing), Norton 850 (too bad it was electric start, I liked the right side shift better). What...no RE 5? Kinda makes you feel like making room in the garage, thanks again.

easytravel I didn't see an RE5. I took a picture of every bike that was significant to me. Lots of newer stuff. Triumph Ducati and KTM had booths there and there was a lot of newer BMW stuff. They were nice but not vintage . Lots of scootery Vespa, Cushman oh and Toppers.

Yeah...you gotta love these older bikes and they still haul ass. I wasn't really expecting a pic of an RE 5, kinda rare but unusual. I would have been very surprised to see one, thanks again.

I had gone to this show and somehow on youtube I stumbled across the Clymer dude's video on there. Clymer is based here in this area. Video is much better than my pictures.
