AMCA Yankee Chapter National Meet 2017
The ride up early Friday morning was perfect... slightly overcast and cool with very little traffic.
Two early original paint H-Ds one single and one twin. It's amazing the stuff that shows up at these smaller meets!
Knuckle's, Pan's and a beautiful white Flathead Indian Chief.
Went on the road run Friday afternoon and the banquet that evening..... Great Ride! Great Food! Great Meet! and Great People! As always a job well done by the Yankee Chapter. If you can you should check this one out in 2018.
Hebron AMCA meet 2016 / 2017
Yankee Chapter National Meet 2016
Since I'm getting ready for the Yankee Chapter AMCA meet next weekend in Hebron Connecticut I figured it was about time I posted the photo's form last year......Some day I'm going to start keeping this blog up to date!...Anyway Hebron is one of the better AMCA meets here in the Northeast... small, old school, affordable and great people!
Patsy's 54 and my 53 in the camp area
Our neighbor next door
Flashy Sportster
Pat and I took a ride Saturday afternoon and found this old gas station setup.... made for the perfect photo op.
Posting these 2016 pictures reminds me just how great this meet is. I will try to post this years photo's in a more timely manner.
A BETTER TIME.....WOODSTOCK AUG. 15,16 and 17th 1969
The site of the original concert is only an hour and change from the area where I grew up and still live. As I grow older I look back in time and think about things......... I was just a little to young to attend, but old enough to realize it was a special event at the end of a very unique time in this Great Country's history.
Oldies but Goodies!
I recently was able to retive some great pictures from an old computer hard drive, this stuff is old but the motorcycles are some of the best and more importantly ridden regularly.
AMCA Colonial Chapter Summer Picnic 2014....I THINK?
Bruce's Flathead
Drew's Panhead
These two 100 point Knuckleheads belonged to Skip a great guy who has since passed.
The circumstances surrounding his death last summer are unclear....but I guess that really doesn't matter he was one of the good guys and always showed me respect.
Chilly Chili Motorcycle Run & New Years at Drews
New Years Eve Dinner at Drew's Place!
I don't know where Drew gets them, but when you need a knife & fork to eat shrimp...their pretty DAMM BIG!
Not to mention the 3 inch thick Porterhouse's below.
First time I ever saw steak cooked on it's side.
SURF & TURF 2016 OH YEAH!
New Years Day Chilly Chili Run.
El Capetian himself and his OG paint 57 Panhead
Great turnout considering it was 19 degrees out.
Drew myself and cousin Bruce
Sneaker swap made easy on the 53 Panhead
Ba-da-Bing!
(lotta rust inside the rim)
Ba-da-Bang!
Ba-da-Boom!
and there you have it ready to roll.
Gotta thank Pete at Novello Custom.
Carlisle Supreme made in the USA inner tube.....when was the last time you saw that?... hated to swap it out for the Drag Specialties made in China unit but it had a lot of rust stuck to it, it was very old and I figured better safe than sorry, I hope!
Getting the 53 Panhead ready for spring! too cold to ride it, may as well do some overdue maintenance.
Added a windshield for this season, got a nice set of bags I may install as well.
The lift we bought for Dave's garage made the job of getting the 16 X 5 tire out less of a pain in the ass, even with the brake drum un-bolted it's still tight and a struggle.
Didn't realize how bad it was until I got the new and old side by side. still got a little meat left on the old sneaker we'll save it for some other project!
Strange Days Friday Night Party
Vernon Inn parking lot
Bruce's 48 Chief

Had a great time at the Strange Days pre-party Friday night....took these photos out in the parking lot early before settling in for some serious drinking, should have taken some shots of the people partying and having a good time at the Tiki bar but I was having such a good time myself..... snapping photo's was the last thing on my mind.
