Anyone else make it up to the Mystic Seaport Museum in Conn the weekend before last?
I was there on vacation with my wife and ran into some of the Yankee Chapter Members that were participating in the Seaports 8th Annual By Land and By Sea Antique Vehicle display on Sunday the 22nd. I think the mfgr cut-off date for vehicles was around early Thirties.
The Yankee Chapter had a small but very nice selection of Early American motorcycles there. I talked to a couple of the members, but didn't get their names.
I did take a few pics: I'll try to post them...may take me a couple of trys cause I haven't been too active on the Forum and I'm a little rusty posting.
Unlike a static display, this was a moving display of sorts. The vehicle onwers, many of them dressed in Period garb, were driving around the Seaport all day. Really cool to watch. Struck me how it must feel to be on a Movie Set.
Anyway...if you get a chance...try to make it up there next year. I think you'd like it. Might even contact the yankee chapter about bringing your early bike to participate. Later, Hrdly
