See below.. 95 mile ride leaves at 10:00.. back by noon for displays.

November 4 (Sunday) – 28th Annual British Bike Hansen Dam Ride, aka “Best Ride by a Dam Site”: Ride leaves at 10 am; show with “professional judges” for British bikes in six categories; ride pins for British-mounted riders; Cycle World calls it “…one of the country’s biggest classic bike happenings.” This is the 18th year of the Norton Club’s sponsorship of this event. Don’t miss it!
Osborne exit on the 210.


Last year was really entertaining.

Went to the rally on Sunday, really nice group of people. All bikes where sweet, no attitudes or color frlying around. Everyone would start talking aboaut their bikes and keep going and going.
Lots of NORTON's makes me wonder "Is there a norton in my future?"
Did not get a ride pin, that kind of sucked. But will be there next year.

I did see a blue Bonneville America that belongs to a member here but did not get to meet him.

Steamroller, was that who you saw? I was walking around wrapping it up with a couple guys I had met previously. The pin thing frikkkkin irked me. Join our club, but your bike doesn't count as when it comes to a pin. Just didn't appreciate being excluded, especially when at 2:00 there was about 200 pins in the bag. I can only say they must not want my mebership to much.
I will be going to your photos now to see if saw your bike there.

Have a nice day , "unless you've made other plans"

Yes, thats the bike I saw! Did you change the front tire to a biggger size, because it did not looked stock. Looked preety good if you ask me.

The rally was fun, our bikes might not had counted but the keep us on the wind.
