To represent those of us who can't make the trip to The City of Desert Lights for the Big Show, I'm off to good ol' blue-collar H-D-making York, PA for the Potomac Riders annual swap meet and bike show (indoors in the big fairground arena there).

I'll betcha I get a couple pictures of nice old Yamaha 80s or Ducati tiddlers, so we'll do with that until the auction report comes out ....

Honda GB500's were hot at Mecum this year, three went for $11k or higher, $14,300, $12,650, $11,000.   Heck, for $14,300, you're getting close to V7 Sport territory.   I'd much rather have a V7 sport than one of these.

Thanks for posting these, and yes, we saw these go across the block. 

Here are some photos of the annual gathering of..."The Usual Suspects."  Always great to catch up with everyone again... :thumb: :1: :cool:

Last bike images from MECUM...

* The 75 Laverda SF2 went for $8K...nice buy..but should be Laverda orange...

* The Triumph X75 went for $25K

* The rare Harris Suzuki 1150 did go through because it did not have a VIN number stamped on the frame!
:shocked:

* The two BSA's A65 Lightnings were nice and went for about $10K-$12K each (check that one online)

* The Indian flathead...well, I just like the color! :cool: :thumb: :wink:

The yellow indian is a 741, the one that they built for the Army in WWII, obviously, "civilianized" at a later date with the yellow paint job.   If running and road worthy, this would be one of the lowest priced ways into a vintage Indian to ride.

I dunno about the yellow though, I think, for me, Indians need to be the classic Indian red.

Yes, of course, nothing beats an Indian Chief in the traditional Indian "red" colors, but I guess I just like the yellow Indian as something "different." :wink: :thumb: :tongue: :cool: (like my Centauro GT!!)
