Old Bikes, Good Friends, and Fair Skies

A beautiful day for the rallye!! The weather was magnificent, Tropical Storm Karen lollygagged down in the gulf and the sun shone gloriously upon us all day long! The crowd was thin compared to past events, but the comraderie and affability was spectacular as always!! I didn’t take as many pics as I wanted, mostly because I was so struck by those marvelous old Norton’s… Long Live the Vintage British Dynasty!!
