Wow! Those are wonderful pictures! Just true inspiration! Would love to spend a day following in your shoes while 'on duty' in the motorcycle community. Thank you very much.
Holy moly! Any more photos of the sleeve valve twin?
I'd love to know more about that WC JAP special
WOW! I don't know where to begin... some really stunning images here, what a thrill it must be to see all this, in one place and time. Many thanks, Mr. d'O for bringing it to us! cheers, Don
Great report, and great shots too. While you were there I was at another far lower key, but very enjoyable event here in SoCal, the Moto Classica festival at Willow Springs. http://www.hp2.info/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=108
It is almost close enough in the calender to make a double header with the Quail if you can find some other things to fill in the time. There are a few good collections here in SoCal that could be worth your time in the weeks between the two.
Anyhow, look forward to bumping into on the green at the Quail.
Never too old and always surprising. It is a pity we can't hear their engines roar...Thanks for the report.
very good blog! I am for the information and items that you show us on this website, thanks for sharing information
regards
