    I showed her at a "Modern Classics" show at Martin Motorsports in Boyertown PA. They cleared out their showroom and had 97 classic bikes from the 60s, 70s and 80s. beautiful bikes. they took a professional photo of each bike and are making a show book. I can't wait to get it!

    Tubabone,
    I was there today and saw your bike, it looked really good. I loved seeing it and all the other classics.

    I was also there on Saturday! There were almost as many interesting bikes in the parking lot as in the show! There was a Wankel-powered Hercules and a 1955 Vincent Black Knight - IN THE LOT! No XJs in the lot BTW, but plenty of BMWs, Jap bikes, a Ural w/sidecar and even a couple H-Ds.

    Nice Seca! A friend of mine won Peoples Choice with his 1952 Vincent Black Shadow.

    Hey Tubabone, nice bike, shame about the missing rubber ring for the speedo cable.

    I dont know what it is about these old bikes. If i pulled into a parking lot and saw a pack of expensive rockets and a group of classic motorcycles, I would most certainly look at the classics first. There is just something about older bikes that I cant describe. Every time I look at my XJ, I want to buy another one. Great pictures
