I'll most likely be there.
I posted about this yesterday, but it seems to have disappeared.

edit :moved to the Northeast subforum, where no one will see it without searching.

Any non-sohc4 tech topics posted in the tech forum will be moved to the most appropriate forum. In this case, the most apporopriate is the NE regional forum. If you'd like a non-tech post of this type to remain in a more active section I'd suggest posting in the Open forum in the future. Posts in that section are rarely moved to other forums since it's essentially an "anything goes" area.

I'm thinking of going

any reason I should be afraid to park my bike in the parking lot? I've seen car part theft at car shows, anything like this happen at these type of shows?

I'd half consider entering my bike in the show depending on how much it costs if its a problem

andy750 · « **Reply #5 on:** August 31, 2012, 02:23:42 AM »

Never seen a bike-related theft at a Mass bike show.

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #6 on:** September 04, 2012, 09:28:24 AM »

I will be there. Going to bring my S90...and some stuff to sell.

Yes I think we are all going

See you Sunday!
cheers

Early! Just PM Mike who is also going and plan to be at his place for ~8am. Leaving Roslindale at 7.15am if interested in an early start.

cheers
Andy

Rice-O-Rama, Oxford, MA 2013

Weather-wise - perfect! Sunny, mid-70s.

Started early from my place - 7.15am with Alex (Crush) on the FZR600, Peter on the Versys and me on the K2. Headed backroads to Mike and made good time as roads mostly empty. Nice way to warm up the day. Met Anders on his K8 (with alternator upgrade) at Mikes place and Mike (MRieck) brought the modified FJ1200 out for a stretch and once we were on Rt9 he opened up and away he went - that bike can fly!

Assembled and ready....

Took Rt9 then I-290 to Oxford and made good time. Arrived at 9.30 which is the perfect time to be there since it opens at 10am, there are no crowds and all the vendors are already there waiting...good time to buy!

Lots of interesting bikes this year...heavily swayed to Hondas and cafe racers but a good mix on show and in the parking lot.

Here are the ones that caught my attention

Streetfighter-style in the parking lot - the guy had welded the tank himself and did a lot of work on the bike to get a Euro streetfighter look

I really liked this! I know its not my usual taste but I liked the minimalistic look of it and sleek lines

This CB750 got a lot of attention...has all the bling from Cycle-X (motor/brakes etc built by them), some bits from Joker Machine and the tank/fenders etc done by some Indian guy who hand makes them by beating them out by hand -now selling at Cycle-X or on Ebay -dont be fooled by the size of the tank - just a little over 4 gallons.

Lot of CB750s this year....a lot not done terribly well in my humble opinion...

The good

The sparkly

The unique...

Mmm not my cup of tea

Resting after a blast down the Mass Pike

Something different

Kevin from CT`s very very nice CB550 - parts sourced 2 yrs ago from Rice-o-Rama - amazing workmanship! Check out that single sided swingarm from a VFR

Wooden seat

Dave Gilberts sidecar setup got a lot of attention

Can I have a ride please

Nice to see Kevin from CT again (last time 2 yrs ago for Godzilla rally), Joe and his daughter, and a bunch of other SOHC/biker friends who I havent seen for a while. Very good show this year!

cheers
Andy

Nice write up Andy, thanks.

So, it's a bike show and swap meet? Anything else??

andy750 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 08, 2013, 03:52:43 PM »

Sounds similar to our local show (next month) but we also have a raffle, auction, live music and a "ride in movie".

scottly · « **Reply #18 on:** September 08, 2013, 07:56:49 PM »

Did Godzilla make an appearance?

Elan · « **Reply #19 on:** September 08, 2013, 08:33:28 PM »

It was a good show, my first time. Maybe next year i'll try to wake up as early as you guys!

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #20 on:** September 09, 2013, 03:48:34 AM »

So many many bikes. Looked at motorcycles an parts, bought a shirt, saw a few familiar faces. It was a great afternoon. We went rock climbing on the way home. Did any of you guys swing by Purgatory Chasm?

andy750 · « **Reply #21 on:** September 09, 2013, 03:51:42 AM »

No, but Purgatory Chasm is a great place for climbing!
