Vintage Ride Saturday, Vintage Show Sunday

I like the phrase, "Ride'm don't Hide'm."

I can personally recommend this.  The museum is located amongst some of the best roads in the area and it is a blast to experience them with a wide variety of vintage bikes along for the ride.  I will probably  be there

I'll be there for sure, I never miss it.  The car museum is amazing.
Giving my cb750 currently looks like this.

I'll probably be riding there on this.

The Gilmore Vintage "Ride" is on my bucket list, but it will require a 320 mile day from me and 4 hours of slugging it out on I94.    My CB is good to go but I'm not sure if I'm up to that. It's been 35 years since I have done anything like that. I am hoping for a fair weather Saturday and a good nights sleep on Friday.

I made it!!    by the skin of my teeth.... arrived after 10am and immediately departed with the last flight of the day, 2 Harleys, 4 Triumphs including a Trident, Suzuki triple and myself. What a gorgeous day for a ride. We were escorted through Barry county around lakes and hills to our lunch destination, afterwards on our own promtly got lost but no matter, good company, good weather, good roads. I came home the back way and was in by 6pm and will sleep well tonight.

Sorry I didn't get more and better pix but I spent nearly the entire day riding.
I missed a couple pictures that would have made recent marks in the photo scavenger hunt.
The bigger event is Sunday.

Ended up riding my Red xs650 Bobber.  Only $2 more to show, so what the heck.
