1st Annual Vintage Japanese Bike Show in Dallas
« on: October 11, 2009, 11:36:05 AM »
1st Annual Vintage Japanese Bike Show in Dallas...   Well Plano really.  It was at Plano Kawasaki Suzuki.  I did not take pics of everything and I was using my phone so quality sucks but I thought I would share.

Oh and I ran into ol' Greenjeans out there. 

There really were some cool old bikes.  I can't wait until next year.






And to toot my own horn...   I won a trophy.  Granted, two of the cooler customs got there late and missed most of the voting, but there were still a few bikes in my class.   ;D

Nice pix!  Looks like a good turnout.
I want a pair of those white letter tires.
Do you have a copy of the Honda Shop Manual or Parts List for your bike? Get one here:

That was a really nice K1.  It had a sign on the seat that said that the bike was sold and please do not sit on it.  I tried to find the owner, but he was out of town and had someone at the dealership show it for him.   My favorite was the black bomber.




this 75 was nice too.
