It was a fun event, good to see a few people I knew. I took a bunch of pictures, so here are a few Harleys to start off:











Charlie is one of the Yankee Chapter organizers, great job by all

This radical Triumph dirt bike caught my eye:





There were a lot of Moto Guzzis too. I may try my hand at an old Eldorado or Ambassador in the future.

This is some kind of Italian bike, can't remember what it was called, but it definitely wins the 'oddest bike' award:



One Nimbus is rare, but there were two:



Their motto is 'Ride 'em, Don't Hide 'em, so they include a nice ride thru the countryside in the program:

I didn't know Norton made a supercharged bike, but here it is:



Some of the more desirable Japanese bikes, like this Widowmaker:



This CBX could have been bought for not too much money:





Some original paint classic dirt bikes for sale

A few more Indians and Harleys:









The swap meet section was full of parts at good prices.

The date for the Four meet was changed in late June due to a conflict at their fairgrounds. It would have been a week later.

If you were curious about the crusty Italian two-stroke shown in post #5, it is a Parilla Slughi from around 1960. They can be fun to ride and are rare in US…hell, they’re rare everywhere!

Can't begin to thank you for the great pictures, Joe. I think posting picture of our meets is one of the best ways for a member to contribute to this great club.

You're welcome, and thank you. I don't have nearly the knowledge of old iron to contribute much technically, but I do like taking pictures.
