Topic: Kansas City Vintage Motorcycle Rally 6/05/11

If you’re anywhere close to Kansas City, there’s no excuse for missing the 20th Vintage Motorcycle Rally hosted by the Heart of America Motorcycle Enthusiasts (HoAME), 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 5, at the Airline History Museum at Kansas City’s historic Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport. This will be the third year the show’s been held at Wheeler Airport, one of the coolest venues for a classic bike gathering anywhere.

As home to a spectacular 1958 Lockheed Super Constellation and other vintage airliners, the museum is already a great destination. Throw open the hangar doors and throw in a few hundred classic motorcycles and it becomes without doubt the place to be in Kansas City. Wandering around the cavernous hangar looking at Vincents, Hondas, Harleys and Ducatis with the downtown skyline in full view from the hangar doors is uniquely cool, and not to be missed.

So don’t miss it — even if you join Motorcycle Classics’ Richard Backus at the National Motorcycle Museum’s grand opening in Anamosa, Iowa, that same weekend, you could still make Kansas City in six hours! Motorcycle Classics’ Landon Hall will be manning our booth at the Kansas City show, so look for him and the Motorcycle Classics banner in the Airline History Museum hangar. This show just keeps getting better and better every year, and admission is a bargain at only $5. Be there. – Richard Backus

There were a TON of beautiful bikes! I only got a few pictures, mostly of Hondas, that would be (or possibly have been) BOTM candidates. One of Carpy's famous early builds was there; I remember the build on the forum.

I had to go straight to work afterwards so the pics will have to be uploaded later.

I was there around noon.. lots of people were there based on the amount of bikes parked outside but compared to last year I think there were less bikes inside this year. By far my fav bike of the show was the white and black MV.. it was on the left when you first walked in. I might post a pic later if im not feeling lazy. I also really liked the 78/79 Kawa KZ1000.. besides the retarded carbon fiber exhaust canister that bike was amazing. There was also a badass ducati classic parked outside..

**EDIT**
Decided to pull some pics off my phone..

This show is fantastic. I thought this was the best year ever. Well run, organized and fantastic bikes. Thanks to all involved with this event.
