Bikes Worth Seeing At Vintage Motorcycle Show
Not sure if this is vintage but it was definitely interesting.
I went to the annual Vintage Motorcycle Show today (I’m writing this on Sunday) and it was worth the trip. There were some very interesting rides on display.
It was a good trip, too. While this thing has usually been held at Heritage Square, that venue is going through some changes and the show got moved to Colorado National Speedway up by Dacono. A good bit further to go.
The distance was no big deal, but what hurt was the extreme shortage of shade. Heritage Square has trees and is a pleasant spot. The pit area at the racetrack is pretty much just sun. There were not a lot of people there when I was there, although they were always coming and going. I suspect many people were just like me: arrive and park, spend 20-30 minutes looking at the bikes, head out. I hope they can move back to Heritage Square or some other place more pleasant next year.
So without further ado, let’s look at some photos.
I believe this is called a service cart or service wagon or something of that sort.
This Vincent has some pretty slick body work.
A Harley cafe racer.
Almost a bicycle, but with a motor.
Of course, one thing about going to any motorcycle exhibition is that there inevitably are some interesting bikes in the parking lot as well. Here’s a heck of a rat bike. And notice that as hard core as this guy appears to be, he uses a helmet.
This is a hard core bike, and it wasn't even in the show.

If vintage bikes are up your alley and you’re interested in couple hour ride over into northwestern Kansas, you might be interested in the newly opened St. Francis Motorcycle Museum in St. Francis, KS. I rode down there last weekend from SW Nebraska and I thought it was worth the trip. It houses over 100 bikes from a couple dozen different manufacturers, many dating back to the 1910’s. They also have air conditioning. :)
