Title: Quick trip down and back tomorrow to VMD
Post by: ohiorider on July 09, 2015, 09:33:25 PM
Three of us are making a quick ride from NE Ohio to Lexington, OH to participate in a day of Vintage Motorcycle Days racing (watching, not racing!)  With any luck we may have a few pics to post when we return tomorrow evening.

It's only 100 miles, more or less, each way, and we'll be taking the best scenic roads possible, vs doing the I-71 slab.

It's rained for the past few days, but tomorrow promises to be dry, in the low 70s, but with humidity making the 'feels like' temps closer to 80 degrees.

Looking forward to a nice ride down and back and seeing some good racing and just kicking tires looking at all the nice old machines that are generally present for this event.

Used to never miss VMD .... but I've brought home all the stuff that a sane person could use for the rest of their lives from the massive swap meet, so haven't been in a year or two.   I need to put it back on my annual calendar ....

If you go to the shorttrack races.  Cheer on the Harley Sprints for me.

I usually attend yearly but at this time I am in the mountains of western North Carolina. My thoughts are that VMD has gone down hill as of late. There used to be many more vendors, many more brands there for demo rides, even the racing pits seem less occupied. I think there may have been some political shenanigans going on in the AMA and that's why it has become what it is. I still love walking the swap shop. And also getting my '73 Eldorado always turned many heads.
