Causual and a good group of guys. I don't know if I've ever seen a Guzzi there. Maybe a few Laverdas.

One of my oldest friends lives in Medford and sends me pics of this show every year. Wish I could go,looks great, little too far away. I'll have to be satisfied with Riding Into History in St Augustine every May.

If you start riding now you could make it!

What does he ride?

I've been going to this show for many years. Even one Guzzi is unusual. It's bad when the Vincents outnumber the Guzzis!

Going to try to change that this year!

10-4pm

I think the 4 was optimistic. People were showing up by 9 so some people had been there a while.

I think I left at 2. It's a looser event so people come and go as they please.

Here's what you missed for showing up late.

Thanks Dave, too bad I missed you. The T is looking good. Some one told me they saw a goose there. Went to Enzo's cafe after, had a good time there. Enzo is gonna display my LM3 in his bar for a while.

The 'old - timer' shows here are pretty good as many small bikes from variorus marquees flourished . Lots of DKW's, NSU's,BMW's, MZ's, Guzzi and more.

The NSUs were pretty interesting, but it sure seemed like a BMW show. And I was correct, it was a 3:1 ratio of Vincents to Guzzis.

Thanks for the pix! So post a thread as a new MG rider and impressions of the T.

Well, I've gone from looking at a V50, a LeMans and finally getting a 850T. At least I didn't get the small block.

Must be running. There's proof on the internet.

So easier to start and ride but compared to your other bikes?

Considering that not too many of the other bikes run...

The Norton is by far one of the funnest bikes to ride, it's narrow and light and just loves to go. The Guzzi feels super solid, like every pound is pushing down on the ground. Very stable and also fun.

Oh.....oh! Looks like you're coming over to the dark side.

Dark side would be a Harley.

Italians and Brits could make some bikes. Sure, they were a little unstable, like that crazy girlfriend, but lots of fun.
