Anyone going to see them along the journey?

We're headed to Triple S Harley in Morgantown to see them.

It was a blast! 100 year old (or more) motorcycles.

Even met another Venture rider.

 

 

If I ever figure how to post pictures, I'll add them later.

A friend of mine ran his model JD Harley (1922, I think) on the run 2 years ago. Made it from Daytona to Washington state. His bike isn't old enough for this years run. Only 1916 or older.

Wish I could have made it MJ = looking forward to ANY and ALL pics you can provide!! Tweeks, Tip n I heard about the Cannon Ball when we were out at Sturgis one year.. Left the rally and beat foot it in their general direction.. Tent flappin in the wind and Tweeks all revved out - Tip peeking over my shoulder making sure I wasnt breaking our agreed upon speed limit of 100 mph when Tip yells in my ear = WHATS THE HURRY?

I yelled back into the slip stream leading to my riding partners pretty face and said = we are talking gargantuan amounts of pre-1930 scoots heading for Frisco from NYC.. You just gotta KNOW that if we follow em to Frisco sooner or later one of em is gonna break down and I am gonna get a chance to work on one of those beauties!!!

Puc, it was the best time! A buddy rode in my sidecar for the 100 mile journey (one way) Can't believe it as he's been riding solo bikes for 50 years. "If something's going to happen, it's going to happen" Brave man. My Witchy sister riding buddy (she's standing next to Frank Westhall in the first picture, guy with beer, second place in the standings )came along and loved it! She had no idea what it was all about. To see these folks ride 100+ year old machines is amazing. Also many nice old machines that came to watch.
