Many thanks to Len and Jerry for the photos. Been cooped up on the mountain for too long and it's good to see folks getting together with their old motorsickles. That OP '12 HD is awesome!!!!

Len, the 02 Peugeot and the '22 experimental X-Hen 4 were far and above my favorites. Thanks for showing them. Any chance you got a pic of the X-Hen's mechanical drawing? We were using my caliper and tape measure to determine whether the drawing was exactly to scale, which it wasn't. Maybe a 15% reduction by the printer or something. It was supposed to be a copy of an original drawing, though.
I think we'll see a cool report on this bike and its discoverers and previous owners, as Bill Wood was there with camera. Also, let's watch for Rich Schulz to author some more his favorite subject.
This stuff always gives me big old BUZZ, for about a week after the meet. ..... thx for the buzz, Omaha!

It took 10 hours to get home due to the snow in western NE and eastern CO. There were many vehicles off the road, some upside down, or on their side.
However, Fremont is a great little meet, I had had fun and met more fun folks...

Here is a photo of Richard and Carl about to enter the judging ring and to put their incredible 'attention to detail' skills to work on a few of the bikes.

It was great to see you again Steve. Always a pleasure.

my favorite bikes were the 1902 Peugeot, and the 1922 experimental Excelsior 4-cyl. Thanks Len for pix so far.
Bill Wood was there with the big camera, Spag and JJ also, and I know they loved it all.
I think Scott Swaney even liked it!
Charlie Gilmore fired up his 14 HD twin at closing time, fun show.

2014 Fremont National Meet

Had an awesome time and thanks to the Omaha Chapter for another great year. Big shout out to all the Omaha members and the pretty girls behind the Omaha vending table to make this all happen. Yes Larry, you as well. It's a lot of work and you people are much appreciated for all you do. Thank you!!!

The event is over, but the "buzz" endures. Hope to see a picture show here from someone who took a bunch (I didn't, camera's on the blink). Much to view!
The econo was far from full, unless 2/3 of the rooms are out of commission. From my viewpoint, there were far more rooms available from motels that were not thought of. Meet hosts, I think this is a worthwhile consideration for attendees, especially at places like Wauseon. I'd hate to skip a great meet because of a lack of access to hotel/motel. Wasn't an issue here (luckily), but it did take 6 different "no-vacancy" calls before I found econo, and I noticed a few other options that weren't suggested.

But inside the field house, it was great! and outside not bad.

The hotels were taken up with a College Hockey tournament playoffs.

Three rooms left at econo inn this weekend. Get them while they last. See ya in Fremont!
