Modern Classics Motorcycle Show today 3-2-2019
 
10 Attachment(s)
Today was the 9th annual Modern Classics Motorcycle Show at Martin Moto in Boyertown PA.

LOTS of cool motorcycles, a couple minibikes and even a few bicycles. As you look thru the pictures, try to pick ONE that you would vote for best of show.

I have a TON of pictures so keep checking back as it'll take a while to load

Here's a overview of the show from the second floor. ( sorry it's slightly out of focus, my glasses were still tinted dark :leaving: )

Wish I could've made that one. I also would love to have shown my bike but just out of time until mid March.

That Kawie BMX bike is really cool. Some new bikes there from last year for sure.

There's some patina on the Greeves :cool1: The guy purchased it at a local motorcycle swap meet and got it running, then was riding it around at the swap meet. :seasix:

The BWM was not only fully equipped for a medical emergency, the paramedic who rides it was right there ( US flag patch on right arm). :angel:

Between the paramedic and the motorcycle police who were there, almost any medical emergency could have been attended to almost instantly :yesnod:

This is the last of my pictures from the show. Hope you've enjoyed the pictures :cert:

I used my Nikon D3400 with a "fisheye" lens.

Yes, some memories. I remember the guys we'd ride with who had the tripe 2-stroke Kawi's, we made them ride in the back of the pack, every time they got on it, we'd get a nice spray of oil.........:D

One fellow in the troop, had the Kawi 750cc triple 2-stroke, no one could catch him, gawd that thing was fast.

Nice post, good job on the pics, a lot of interesting rides there. :seasix:

My first bike was a Rupp Hustler so it was good to see the minis and bicycles represented.
Best in show for me was the heavy gold flaked Notrun Commando, with a personal fave being the Rickman Metisse shown in the background of the Rudge series of pics.

Great stuff man! Thanks for sharing.

MrPeabody 03-03-2019 6:11pm

I'll go with the Crocker for best of show. Incredible performance for it's time, rarity and a beautiful restoration.

It was extremely difficult to pick just one.

Crocker and the Excelsior were a toss up for my vote.

m and t's77 03-03-2019 8:55pm

I like all the jap bikes from the seventies,great styling.Was watching Mad Max last night and those bikes are still timeless.
Oh and did someone say Excelsior.

Is that the same Crocker that sold recently for $650k at the Mecum auction?

Possibly as it came from Sweden.

I think it is that one :yesnod:

Click the link below and on the screen capture, it looks like "acquired by the MC Collection"
