Here are a few shots I took at the show today. There was a big variety, including Triumphs, Indians, Mustangs, and even a custom flathead Ford V8. I'll post a link to the entire lot as soon as I get them processed and uploaded.

Yep, Dave! That first pic of what I'm going to assume is a '66 Bonnie in TT trim is quite a looker, isn't it?! In my view all it needs is a couple of Dunlop K180 flattrack tires mounted on it and it would be perfect!!!

Very nice pics here, Jack!!! Do you remember anything more about that Flathead Ford engined bike? I ask because some years back I ran across a guy who had stretched out a Moto Guzzi(Eldorado, I think it was) and he mated a Flathead Ford V8 to the Guzzi gearbox and had created quite a novel machine out of it. It turned out this guy was some kind'a muckety-muck with Mattel, and he actually made a Hot Wheels model of his bike.


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Dwight, the Ford was my favorite of the show. I gotta admit though, when I first saw it, I was thinkin' of that turkey bird what's been flyin' around these forums lately. Twin pipes out the back, big honkin radiator, finless motor. Anyhoooo... did Guzzi trannys ever use chain drive? This had the biggest friggin' chain to the rear tire I've ever seen. The links looked like two of ours, side by side. Here's a few more of that baby (including a crop-in of the rear drive):

Really great shots of some beautiful bikes. I remember seeing a Ford 60 hp flathead (the one on this bike was probably the 85 hp) years ago on a Harley frame. The bike in your pictures was a much nicer installation. Flathead V8's have a great sound!
