This is an AMCA meet, but they have a great variety of bikes, even scooters. There are multiple classes, including a chop/bobbed class, won last year by a '35 H-D VL. Check out the content on the link, lotsa pics available, and there are hundreds of bikes in the show. Free parking, great security, and the parking lot has almost as-many bikes of interest as the show, though there are probably thousands of bikes which come & go during the event. It's run by an old acquaintance of mine, she and her husband do a great job as a benefit for pet rescue. The city's mayor will be riding in, another acquaintance. The location is a mile south of Ft. Lauderdale International Airport. They have food and drink, a classic rock band, and there are two close-by supermarkets and lots of local restaurants. The beach road, State Rd. A1A is close-by though the nearest bridge to it (Dania Beach Blvd. Intracoastal Waterway Bridge) is closed right now for repairs, you have to use the Sheridan St. bridge as the closest A1A access.

Two of my acquaintances are judges, they're both retired Yamaha factory mechanics, and were around for the release of the VMax.

If you go, you're going to get your money's worth, it's free! There are plenty of stock and modified bikes from American, English, European, and Asian manufacturers.

I made an error, the title should say, Saturday!!!!

And, "today's the day," Saturday Jan 30. It's been rainy here recently, we set a record for January rainfall, but today is to be cool & dry. It's 52* F now at 0800 hrs. and should reach 72* F by afternoon. A perfect day for looking at old bikes!
 
A good day at the show, some pics. The first Wankel, before the Suzuki GT750 triple, made in Germany, the Hercules.

A Triton, Triumph 650 engine in a Norton 'Featherbed' frame, v. popular mod in the early 1960's. This one is special, because it's got Dresda parts, that was an outfit like Yoshimura, made many parts, kits, and sometimes, entire bikes using English and other engines.

A beautiful bevel drive Ducati single, the basis for the 1970's SS & GT Ducati 90* twins, two singles on a common crankcase. Ducati made these in 250/350 & 450 cc sizes, street & scrambler. Strong engines, the electrics, not so-much.

A Ner-a-Car, check-out the front steering/suspension. Then look-up Dan Gurney's recumbent motorcycle series, the Alligator. That bike is 93 years old!

A '71 Sportster, nearly-stock, very clean, hard to find 'em in this shape. The last year of the 883 cc before the '72 1000 cc engine.

Are you a fan of the Yamaha 'bumblebee' stripes? One stock liquid-cooled two-stroke RZ350 twin, the Kenny Roberts edition, and one streettracker, an XS650-based bike.

Some more pics, sorry if I duplicated any. I don't have the patience waiting for slow upoads.:bang head:

I like the old enduro/motocross bikes, it reminds me what I saw on the racetracks & in the woods back-then, while on my Yamaha 360.

I'm really starting to love the AMCA events. Everyone attending just seems to love two wheels, that's the only requirement!
