It's great that there are events like this with such great access to the bikes and there owners. In Oz classic motorcycles mainly seem to be owned by motorcycle enthusiasts and are used, raced and demonstrated at events like this. However, I fear that a time is fast approaching where they become 'commodities' to investors - just like Grange Hermitage and Aussie muscle cars like GTHO Falcons have become. Unfortunately these 'commodities' then tend to disappear from use and public access.<br /><br />Great pics, keep 'em coming!<br /><br />Cheers Jules.Tarsnakes Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859439380216890525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545332438527100199.post-62669489067108930982011-02-07T19:05:51.279-08:002011-02-07T19:05:51.279-08:00+1 with everyone else.

As well as the privilege of meeting you at last (we will most definitely spend longer gasbagging!, I'm amazed how many bikes you photographed which I missed entirely! Guess that's because they were there in their thousands.

We have an All British Field Meet at Portland International Raceway every year that has vintage and classic car racing, but I don't think they race the bikes.<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545332438527100199.post-12903226497727862212011-02-06T08:20:38.084-08:002011-02-06T08:20:38.084-08:00Wait a minute, that side car is on the wrong side!...Wait a minute, that side car is on the wrong side!
