"bangle for president"
a few weeks ago i saw this poster
https://pic.armedcats.net/b/bo/bone/2011/06/22/IMAG0085.jpg
looks interested, so we went over to have a look
we didn't realy know where it was, but figured we would find it...NOT! after driving around for a while without any bikes in sight, we saw a restored norton also looking puzzled as he also didn't know where to go. he confirmed he was also looking for the same meeting, but was already driving around for over an hour, but couldn't find it. he did know the address though, so i entered it in my GPS, and he followed us
so this is the view from my rearview mirrors for about 5km. AWESOME SIGHT!!

when we arrived, the scene looked like this...COOL! but as you can see, they aren't placed in a reachable fashion, so most bikes will have better angles than the one we were forced to photograph

close up of the bike that followed us. i talked to the owner afterwards, and it's apparently some special frame used in racing, and when he bought it, it was in very sorry state, and he did everything himself...

my knowledge of bikes isn't that widespread, so if anyone has anything interesting to say about any of these, feel free!
and while walking around there, i wondered what bike meetings in the US look like. you also get the cafe racers and the vanished brands? or is it typically just one harley next to the other one?
