Cool motorycle show pics

Hi.

Hope this is the best forum for this. I normally post over in the classics and cruisers and decided to explore a little.

Rode the Trophy over to a bike show today and met some really cool people. There were some amazing bikes as well. Including a 35 Indian, a 38 Brough Superior and others.

Took a bunch of pictures and thought I'd post a link to share them.

Cheers,
sb

Nice pix! My neighbor has some old bikes--a BSA just like the one you show. I've been out with him twice w/him on the Goldie. 1st time it wouldn't start so he had to take his '67 Daytona. 2nd time it died @ a stop sign & we had to go get the trailer. Ah, old brit bikes--gotta love 'em!

Hey folks!

Glad you enjoyed the pics. It was a fun day.

I'd never even heard of a Brough Superior or a Henderson. Those old bikes sure do make some valve noise!

There was a rumor going around that the guy with the BSA Goldstar (also owner of the Brough) bought it from a museum that's why there's only 1 mile on it. Kinda cheating in a way. At least I rode mine there.

The poor bike was smoking a bit when he started it. I think it wants to be ridden.

Have to admire the guy's ability to resist temptation though. I don't think I could own a motorcycle, or any other vehicle, and never ride or drive it. I just couldn't do it. You know how it would start, I'd rationalize oh, what's the big difference between 1 mile and 2. Then, eh, 2 miles, 10 miles still rare. Next thing ya know it's racking up the miles. I guess I wouldn't be a very good collector.

He even put gloves on before pushing it back on the trailer. Beauty of a bike though. And it's his. So obviously he can do what he wants (or doesn't want) with it.

Most other bikes were ridden around. And I gotta tell ya, it was trippy seeing those old indians cruising down the road. Kinda like a big noisy bicycle. Too cool.

Great pics, what an awful waste though trailering bikes around, old warhorses with 1 mile on the clock, whats the point of having it if all you do is look at it, I know there worth a fortune but they may as well be melted down as scrap if no one ever rides them, Like being married to (pick your own fantasy) and never sleeping with her/him/it!!!
