Albany, WA, Hillclimb

Hello all
Haven't posted here in a while, but I have been lurking.Recent weekend was a 400km ride from Perth to Albany, to attend the annual hillclimb held by the Albany Vitage and Classic Motorcycle Club. Always a great event, 1980 cutoff. Bike show on the saturday morning, where they close off the historic precinct of York Terrace to bikes only, no judging, just roll up and look at the variety. Then the event on Sunday . Five Commandos rode down together on the Friday, nice and shiny ended up pretty grungy after some heavy rain and road grime, but still a good ride. The Perth Street bikes link is to a thread I started, others contributed as well. There is also a link to this years and 2009-2010 photos in my smugmug page. Enjoy.

Nice bunch of Nortons!

I'd like to see the "pipe side" of the scrambler...

I couldn't find Albany, Washington. There's one in Oregon and one in New York State. Then I looked at your i/d and it dawned that "WA" meant Western Australia.
