Hey all you groovy people,
This weekend I had the pleasure of joining some friends and members of this forum at a car show in Riverside California. As part of this show, myself and nine other bike owners displayed our motorbikes. My friend Kris (ANTIQUECYCLES) organized our group, he brought two dustbin racers, two Terrot motorcycles, and a Norton Tribute bike. Dan Orabona of Taylar (the most underrated builder IMO) motorbikes brought a few bikes as well. Chris (Robertriley) brought his Chicago Police tribute bike, Bob brought an Indian Chief, Jim brought a 1948 Harley 125 single cylinder, Dave (Rat Rod) brought two of his creations, and Michael brought a 1959 Vespa.
Here are some pictures of what I saw. I neglected to get a lot of car photos, sorry about that. It was a rockabilly crowd with music and quite a few car clubs.
The highlight for me was when a few of the drag cars started up and revved the engine for a bit. The methanol dragster was crazy, loud as all get out in a multilevel parking lot, burning eyes from fumes, and barely able to breath while watching. Most people had to evacuate to a lower parking level.
I will post multiple pictures in multiple posts. I will also post a couple links to videos i took.
First two pics are of a torpedo car constructed out of an airplane drop tank, not yet running. Pic 3 is Chris's Chicago Police bike Taylar made, Pic 4 is Kris's Norton tribute Taylar made, and pic 5 is a Taylar Harley board track tribute.
