Side Car Races. I wish i got up on the hill to get some photos of them leaning out the sidecars on the turns. Their heads were about 4 inches from the pavement leaning out the side of the sidecar. Crazy. And afterwards I saw that many of the sidecar passengers were women. Rock on ladies!

Ladies Discount!?! I'll wear a skirt if i have to.

Thor Antique Motorcycle. Looked as if it sat in a garage of grease for the past 100 years. i'd love to hear the history of this motorcycle. Note the vent holes on the cylinder. I'm sure that caused a nice mess.

Vintage Motorcycle Race weekend and Swap meet. April 23rd, 2011.

Great place to score some cheap projects or bikes in need or a re-birth.  It was hard to not bring home a $75 complete rust bucket… or the $500 honda…
Also a great place for some inspiration.  British, Japanese, Italian, German, Spanish… they had it all.

 

I wonder if he's got an engine for that bike in his fanny pack?

This is why you bring friends to the races.

wheeeeee!!!!

Eeeny meeny miney moe....

 

Great little honda

A lesson in centrifical force. Anybody who says the cylinders scrape on BMW's when cornering is wrong. Mike is the rider and he's sunk into a nice deep lean. I'm Jealous. (OK, he did raise the engine a bit)

More photos to come……..
