What a great surprise - heard a rumor there was a bunch of vintage Japanese motorcycles at the Holiday Inn downtown.

Did some research, sure enough, supposed to be something going on :clap:

VJMC.org

So, I ride my little self down there are promptly as possible -

Hold on here - what is that, a Seca 900!


Early GS1100E


And a Kawasaki what?


Old CB750


CB350-4


CB350 Scrambler


Trail 90


And a Gas Gas -



Pretty cool stuff - and I find out there is going to be a show at 12:00 Saturday in the hotel parking lot - sounds good to me!

I run home, do my chores and head back  -

GB500 arrived in from St. Louis -


Along with another GS1100 -


Lot more people -


Rounding up the bikes -


Nice older Gold Wing


Good stuff, looking forward to tomorrow!

Steve,

Great shots-  something to look at while sitting here at the airport waiting three hours for the next flight.

The Kawi twin is a bsa copy i think.  a lazy man's way to big bike building.

Cool hump-back 450 honda, might be a 4 speed? I had one of those trail 90s.  1968ish, the first year overhead cam but still had the leading axle sheetmetal forks.  dual range tranny.  I never got it to shift well.

Thanks Joe, it was a good time.

Turnout was lower than normal for a few reasons, but hey, I was not the only one that had a great time so at least I'm calling it a success.

Here come more pictures, for those with the bandwidth to handle it!

In no particular order:

The October issue of the VJMC magazine had a nice write up on the show, pages 6 and 7 -
