Took a ride to this show yesterday thats held in Boyertown PA. Its Martins Motorsports showroom that they empty out and fill with all kinds of cool bikes. Chatted with Rich and Bob from this forum there. Rich had the Gus Kuhn tanked Commando there with the Production racer fairing. Beautiful machine. Here are some pics in no particular order taken for my own amusement.

Many nice bikes there. A great winter outing. I wish they did more of that around here.

I so want that Honda RC30, it's the business. I keep forgetting about it, and then a picture pops up every so often. I have a Radio Controlled one, but it's just not the same.

My son and I went to the show as well. We enjoyed all the bikes and my son really liked one of the old T-100's which was on display. There was also some fun stuff out in the parking lot which people rode in. I liked the bike which was put together utilizing for the front suspension a leaf spring from a ford 150 with a Yamaha 650 motor to power it. It was made by a father and son team out of Royersford. His father was there with a Triton pre unit he had made installed in a featherbed frame of his own making. Someone rode in on a Vincent as well.
I guess the next event for me here is in Washington's Crossing which is always nice.
Sorry I didn't get to meet any of the other members of the forum.

Look closely at the 600cc MV roadster, the first disc brakes on a road bike :?:
And cable operated to boot :!:

Of course the MV was the first bike inside the door and I didnt really get a good look over. Missed the cable operated front brake totally .The RC30 is so beautiful , the stats were so impressive on the spec sheet. Easily 5-7 years before anyone caught up to it. Like any bike gathering the parking lot was just as impressive. There was a Moto Morini 3 1/2 there that was lovely (I'm on the hunt for one so all leads appreciated)

Also one of the ugliest. Beautiful motor, the rest of it? Not so much. Got to love a company that intentionally nerfs their products so they won't compete with their factory race bikes.
