This 2 hour video might be worth your time.  You can always run it in double speed and then slow down for bikes you are interested in.

The taker of the video has a great museum/vintage bike dealership - Kaplan Motorsports - in a large converted mill in CT.  He knows his bikes. I sold a vintage YZ250 to his son a few years ago at Rice O Rama.  The kid could really ride and was very gracious.

The 3 day vintage festival in Oct. will give your feet and brain sore and overloaded for a week!. During the festival they runs trams around the compound to 6 or 7 bus stops so you can check out the action from several spots. Walking the paddock or swap meet will wear you out!!  :thumb:

Didn’t he also publish a short lived classic bike mag, Old Bike Journal? Excellent motorcycle magazine.
