For anyone that my be interested in Vintage Days event
-----------------------------
Well back from a great weekend trip to Vintage Motorcycle Day at
Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
This year the weather was excellent, overcast all Fri, 70s, Sat sun
and clouds on and off, Sun was hotter but we were in the woods for trials event.
Mark and I brought our TW200 bikes which we road around on all Sat.
It cut down on the walking and made it nice to go for a ride to cool
off when hot.
Also got to ride up and down all the camping rows seeing all the racer camps.
For the swap meet area we mostly parked and walked around.
Did not find the Hodaka parts I was looking for since neither of the
major Hodaka part suppliers were present. Guess I will have to buy from them
online or ebay.
Brought out my little trailer just in case there was something I could
not pass up. It came back empty! Good thing, already have enough
projects in the queue. A Thunderdog was the only
bike I was really considering. It was available for Mark to use for
his upcoming off road bike, but nothing of interest yet until his son has
his first dirt bike, which he will then use at Vintage Days LOL.
Anyway it was a great event, seems Mark enjoyed himself enough to want
to go again next year, I for sure am going again. May have to pick up a small
80cc pit bike to ride around on, no real need for the bigger bikes.
Here are my pics, will update add Marks pics when available (since I
took none of the trials event) Also funny to see last years pics, some of
the same bikes were there this year. Finally there are some videos at the
end of the albums, some are pretty fuzzy others are decent and one
GPS track of our travels.
