Took "Maggie" to the show today...



Lots of cool bikes, great music and food and drinks. Hosted by Drifters barbeque in East Nashville. The Ton-Up Club put together a great show with hundreds of people attending and lots of great bikes.



















This is a friends Triumph. Some of you may be familiar with this bike as it has raced at most of the AHRMA events. Kenny?



Believe it or not "Maggie" took the best Norton award! Never entered in one of these before. Not bad, one for one! Of course, without out all of the help i have received from this forum she never would have made it to the show .

sweet trophy!

In the late 1970s, this was one of the most exotic motorcycles of all—the rotary-engined Van Veen. It was created by Henk van Veen, the Dutch importer of Kreidler motorcycles. When Kreidler hit the wall, van Veen switched his attention to building the ultimate superbike, the OCR 1000 of 1976. The engine was designed by Audi-NSU for the Citroën GS automobile, and Porsche developed the gearbox. (If you’re thinking it looks a little like a Guzzi, you’re right: the prototype actually used a Guzzi chassis.) But the bike was too heavy at 350 kg, and too expensive at over $15,000; only thirty or so Van Veens were made over two years. In 2005 one came up at auction in London, and sold for over $37,000—four times the estimate.

My Yamaha did the same thing Friday night when I took it out on the first run of the year. Turned on the gas and it poured out the overflow. I was impatient and got it started and eventually the vibration jostled it loose. Now I have a bare spot in the coating on my driveway. On the plus side my new dual disk setup works wonderful. And my piggyback resivoir shocks work well.
