Sorry, more pics..

Bob Wessner · « **Reply #1 on:** June 12, 2006, 07:44:59 AM »

Wish I knew you were there, we would have looked you up. Did you see the bike mower? I came back with 50-60 pics, but don't want to bore everyone.

Oh Man Bob! I wish I had known you were there too! The guy I was talking to had Harley stuff all over him, so I figured it wasn't you. That's why I posted it last week, so people could hook up! Yeah, I did see the mower bike..We're going to Grattan next weekend...looks like fun!
Here are a few more favorites: (what, did the cop bike have like 800 miles on it?)

Hey Bob,
I can't speak for all of us but, for some of us "Bore Us Bob, Please Bore Us!!"
Okay, I've embarrassed myself, I'm gone. Bill

Sorry Bill, some of are boring...if I didn't love the historical aspects of biking, I wouldn't be riding a 30 year old bike!

ces, I grew up around motorcycles and have been interested in old stuff all my life. By the way, I'm 59 now if that tells you anything. The pictures that we saw already were greatbut, I'm greedy, I want to see more. Even if it would only be several at a time. I had the opportunity to go through the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit a few years ago and while a fair percentage of it didn't really interest me, I still looked because it is history. I was serious about wanting Bob to bore us except, I wouldn't be bored. I wish I could have been there but, I can only look at pictures of what you and Bob saw.
By the way, I've got some of those 25-30yr old motorcycles too (except for my 62' CL72 & 63' CB77, they are 44 & 43yrs old, not in good shape yet but old just the same )

Later on, Bill

Hey, DD, you have a vintage Harley right? If so, have a pic even for you, it's a '47.

dusterdude said, "Speaking of Old Stuff". duster, are you talking about my Honda
CL72, CB77 or ...... me? Take your time in answering, don't want to pressure you. Ha! Ha!

Sorry Bill..I misunderstood what you said....I want to be bored too! Please Bob, post some more! You had to see things that I didn't! Do you have one of the mower?

Sorry, no. I thought it worth a chuckle but not a picture.

Chris Schneiter · « **Reply #13 on:** June 12, 2006, 01:31:10 PM »

I thought it was well done...made sense!
Ok, here are a few more (for Bill440)..I thought this little Mustang, restored from the 50's was kind of cute, and here's another shot of the grounds and the throngs upon them...

Chris Schneiter · « **Reply #14 on:** June 12, 2006, 01:39:27 PM »

When I was about 12, I wanted one of these so bad...so I could go "Trail Riding"!

Carraaap! I forgot the attachment!

Ok, I'll stop now, your turn Bob!

You're not going to believe this but, I'm gonna tell you any way. I know a older (than
me) woman who has a 57' Mustang that is mint. Her husband has a HD knucklehead and a HD
trike. They're kinda like old hippie types. They're pretty cool, I think. And I never get tired of
pictures of old bikes. The only thing better than that is too see them in person. I've never
been to an outting like that. I did, however get to go to a few parking lot car shows in Detroit
when I was up there for a School through civil service once and the cars were absolutely
awesome. There were cars that I had previously only seen in magazines! I imagine this Antique
Bike Meet was like that.

Bill, you should try and make to the Detroit area sometime for the Woodward Dream Cruise.

Chris Schneiter · « **Reply #18 on:** June 12, 2006, 02:02:47 PM »

Bill, as long as you're there, go to the National AMCA meet in Wauseon, OH..a friend of mine is bringing his 1940 Indian 4 From W.Va.
