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!!

North to Manassas!

We got the bikes loaded up and the spares packed in the borrowed “church bus”!! Anybody have a portable AC unit we can borrow? It’s supposed to be a sticky 88 degrees tomorrow, but Tropical Storm Karen is giving us a reprieve from her rain and wind until Monday, which is definitely our silver lining. Looking forward to an enjoyable time with my friends at VBMC and all the folks who venture out to see the British livery old and new!!
