Once again, parking is a snap -  if you come on a motorcycle

I don't have as much to say this time around, since basically it is the same thing as  last year I make this a one day affair, meaning I have to get up bloody early to get there on time (I like to be there by just after 8am at the latest).  So, getting up at 4:00am, I am on the Tiger by 5, arriving just after 8.  I park conveniently on G street - ahh the advantages of riding - no hassles in finding a parking spot. I also ride to prevent buying more useless stuff than I need. As usual prices are high on just about everything, but if you look hard, bargains can be found in just about anything.  Still, I think most stuff is brought home unsold.

Bikes for sale

An array of vintage bikes.  Mostly Italian and British.  Benelli and BSA.

Here's a bike I've never heard of: a French model called the Motobecane.  Looks pre-war for sure.

An '87 Ninja 500 - Looks like a bargain at $2400.  Nice and clean too.

The Carbuff Magazines were there ...

I did not know Hemmings was from Vermont until I saw the truck. Notice the slick license plate.

Old Cars of Wisconsin -  notice the low number on the van's license plate.

Carlisle's reputation is Performance.  No shortage of it at this show.

If you brought a lot of cash, $140,000 to be exact, you could own this '80s Lamborghini.

I've heard of Low Riders, but this is ridiculous.  How low can you go?

Nice to see Performance Years is back.  They were curious why I was wild about their Tiger logo and not into Pontiacs!
