Geese at Chicagoland Vintage & Antique Motorcycle Show

[Dr. Enzo Toma]

I attended the 32nd annual Chicagoland Vintage & Antique Motorcycle Show put on by the Chicago Norton Owners Group at Motor Cycle Center today and as usual it was a great show. Lots of different makes and even the earlier teens and twenties bikes had some representation. There were no Moto Guzzis entered in the antique show itself, but I spotted a few in the general parking. I mistook two of the V7 III Milanos for being the same bike while walking around as they were similarly outfitted other than panniers.

If you want to see Guzzi's go to the breakfast in DeKalb, it is where they congregate on 1st Saturday at 9AM.

Awesome collection..

I hope you don’t mind, I brightened up the Zundapp for details…is that a twin spark in a cylinder or a twin cylinder on each side? Beautiful nickel plating I suppose?

Really wanted to do that for my birthday, but my daughter had different plans for my two grandson's birthdays scheduling them yesterday. Maybe next year, I'll have the T160 running.

Thanks for the tip on the DeKalb breakfasts. I haven't stopped out that way in years, since the Hunnert Car Pileup was held there

That fixed up Zundapp photo looks much better! I left my "real" camera at home since I was riding a 2-stroke and had grease and premix on my hands, then realized it's hard to see the photos I'm taking on a phone screen on a sunny day. The Zundapp (and a BMW R12, and two Indians in the show) belong to my buddy Andy who is opening a motorcycle museum and art gallery out in St. Charles.

It is a 1936 Zundapp K800 and you have a good eye catching the spark plugs, as it is an opposed-four.
