Anyone planning to attend? I’m taking my K0 and it will be on display. Drop by Sunday and say hello!

I do not know where Cobblestone Beach is...presuming it is near you in Canada.

Cool beans! Sounds like a great place looking at the website views. I'll have to check with a friend here in NH if he is taking his car(Pierce) and maybe some bikes up. It would be a fun weekend.

It is a fantastic weekend with some amazing cars. Beautiful location too,

Went well for 2022. Beaten out by a Ducati 750SS, MV August, and Moto Guzzi! Great weekend!

Got my invitation to the 2024 Event. This year’s motorcycle class is for “Pre 1990 Japanese”. Anyone on here interested in showing their motorcycle? I went to school with Rob McLeese, the Owner of this event. I’m sure I can get a few extra invites for worthy participants. Let me know.

The first time, with my K0, I took “Best in Show”. I’ve only been to a few shows (not really my thing), but I may have to try again!

Mark1976 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 19, 2024, 05:03:47 PM »

It's definitely a social event, definitely not for everyone...

That is fantastic. You look pumped on the pic. When does this take place?

BenelliSEI · « **Reply #15 on:** March 19, 2024, 05:39:21 PM »

September 13-15, 2024. I am NOT a show guy, but this event is incredible. Modelled after the great U.S. events it has been growing every year. Spectacular golf course right on Georgian Bay. Most of the cars come up from the U.S. via transporter. They are all in Transport trucks and have “Managers and Handlers”. I felt like quite the hillbilly dragging my own bike around. Winning the first time was pretty special!

It’s become comparable to Amelia Island or Pebble Beach. Many of the same competitors attend! This picture was VERY early morning. A few hours later, there were thousands of spectators.

This event is by invitation. Spent a few minutes and filled out an on line form this afternoon. Three hours later I got my answer; “Canadian Sandcast? You’re invited”. Better get that one on the table next. It needs a few bits.

I emailed them last year whether there would be any bikes and not just cars. They didn't reply. I'm making plans to go this year if there are bikes. Hope you win first again!!!

You should enter a bike! The “Invitation” includes a cocktail party and reception dinner, full access to events and more, for two. The venue is stunning and despite my lack of interest in “shows”, I really enjoy it. Only event my wife always agrees to come along!

Hey John...can you explain? There is only 1 class for motorcycles?

BenelliSEI · « **Reply #20 on:** March 20, 2024, 08:51:29 AM »

Steve…. Yes. It’s really a car event, but they always have a motorcycle and vintage boat class too! Last year was for vintage American bikes. Usually they pick 10-12 motorcycles for the class. Check out their website for tons of info and lots of photos. Stunning venue too.

Update: Got an invitation to show my Sandcast cb750 at this years event. Yikes! Getting busy, it’s still a long way to being finished! Event is Sept. 13-15, 2024.

Have to get busy, few bits missing! That seat belongs to another bike and the tank is not the one that belongs there…..

Good luck John, the project K6 is looking grand too!
