Another pair of beauties



This is a 1913 Motosacoche model 2C7. It must be French.



Where else can you see something like this actually running around? I love the basket!



Here’s another one from the turn of the Century. The Orient motor was used by many motor-cycle builders back then. Not sure what this one is.

A Winner’s Circle Indian, forgot what year he said it was.



Another Indian, they are only original once!



These guys had some pristine creations:

Is this the one they called a Silent Grey Fellow?



A classic from the other side of the Pond





Another French sounding name

A pair of beautiful Ducati scramblers, and a BSA.



This other one came in from the heat to be judged.





Another Italian, a well-traveled Moto Guzzi.

Plenty of British bikes around:

Including a couple of less common ones:





And Black Shadow’s lesser brother, Rapide



Not too many BSAs around but here’s a nice one

For the German bike fans, there were a lot of nice ones. I believe this one belongs to the Yankee Chapter president.



They did make bikes that aren’t painted black:



But most were black, haha.



Two Nimbus motorcycles from Denmark

I grew up on Japanese bikes, so these caught my eye. Notice the rare blue framed FXRC in the back?



I would love to give this a rip around a track!





This bike was owned by a 78 year old who bought it new and only rode it 2800 miles. He also bought the matching jacket, boots and gloves, kind of like new Harley riders, haha.

And now for something completely different:

But that’s not all. There were some real oddities there, like this home-built wood hauler:



Out of the mind of Jesse James came this chainsaw powered kid’s bike:



A matched set of Chrysler Sno-Runners, anyone? The Army commissioned some prototypes but didn’t order them for paratroop service as first intended.



Not all the restorations had wheels



It was a great event, thank you to all who put in the work to make it happen. Looking forward to next year!
