Take plenty of pictures. I love 2 strokes.

Matt, I am also off Sunday.

LP- I have a Suzuki S32 and recently sold a Jawa Trailmaster and a CZ 250 Enduro. I'll try to take photos but I have tons of trouble posting

You should make a free phtobucket account. You can upload all your pictures there, arrange them into albums and stuff. It's just a simple matter of posting the links then.

Actually, that is what I use and for some reason the process is slow and tedious on my computer. But, then again, it may be me being impatient as I think it should be instantaneous...Larry

They should post instantly but pictures will take a while to upload to pbucket initially.

I have an Iphone and could not bulk load photos from the phone to Photobucket

Had to do one at a time

There were some 4 strokes as well as 2 smokes, I thought it was supposed to have been all 2 stroke

one very cool Taco

NORVIN

I wish I bought one of those little Yamaha's when I bought my FJ1200 in 87. I didn't have the money then.....funny how all the stuff you should have had when you were young you couldn't afford.

A bunch of old men with all the good toys now.

and that sure was the predominant age at the show, I don't think there was anyone there without gray hair or no hair(self included of course), enjoying the toys of their youth...Larry

Okay, they even had dirt bikes too.

I had an Ossa Pioneer at one time, this is somewhat similar

I used to wrench for the local Husky enduro riders, always wanted a 250wr.

Hodaka was the dominant bike in the small CC enduro class

Maico breako-actually they were awesome bikes

superbly done Montessa trials bike

some smokers, nothing like the smell of Blendzall in the morning

I use Blendzall in my Echo string trimmer and Suzuki S32, which I submitted at the last minute but it was not accepted

:-[not really

Completely original, only taken apart, cleaned and put back together. Driven to an from the Ephrata Breakfast and occasionally to work. 3xxx miles.

thanks, I was supposed to have met a friend there but he had to call off. Not quite a waste as I may have made a contact for some future work but close, especially considering it was $8 admission.

This 1936 Scott Flying Squirrel was something I had never seen. I had heard of one that was used in England to haul a homemade boat sidecar to the Makita event. For all you Anglophiles here is the piece de resistance of the show.

FINI hope you enjoyed....Larry

an addendum. I had taken these photos at the last Ephrata first Sunday of the month breakfast but forgot to post them. Starting in April the local Ephrata American Legion has an event they call a motorcycle show. They serve food and it gives many of the area bike enthusiasts a chance to get together and check out all the various bikes.

nice Norton

never liked Kawi green but this is a nice rider

wtf?

one of my favorite HDs

prefer the white Dreams over the wet(er, red and black)Dreams

not sure what this is supposed to be, a knight's shield?

lots of choppers always show

traveling beer keg?

A big thanks for posting those photos. It's been so cold and snowy here...I have a bit of cabin fever, so when I see photos like this it reminds me that soon I can get the bike out.

Stev-o · « **Reply #21 on:** March 02, 2014, 02:54:14 AM »

Very cool, thanks for sharing, Larry.

I don't get having a dirt bike as a show bike?

Lovely Scott but the one I'd like to get my clutches on is the Metralla.

Show was supposed to encompass the history of the two stroke so dirt bikes were included, but I agree..................why have a dirt (or any other bike) that won't be driven?

. Maybe live in a bubble???
