I will be there too! What bikes are you bringing, Rick?

[rbarber]

I will bring my Rickman CR1000 (Kawasaki Z1000) and my H1 racebike.
Make sure to look for me. I want you to take a ride on the hot H2 which I will have in the trailer.

[EMS]

We will arrive around 11:00 a.m. Will stop for breakfast on the way.

No, the No 47 was an H2 based racer.

O.K., guys, here is my report. I have to apologize for....

...the picture quality. The lighting was extreme and I used a semi-manual
camera, which made a lot of pics come out poor. It took me a while to
get some into useable status.

... the delay in reporting. Reason see above

Anyway:

I took the 81 CBX down and it performed flawless. As we rode in a group and a 1957 BMW R26 was setting the pace, I was getting 40 mpg




Although they said the show had more entries than in previous years, it definitely wasn't the case in the Japanese category. Among the few were two pairs (!) of immaculate Kawasaki Z1s. Each pair was owned by one owner, respectivley. Missed you, Mike Hall!



Another highlight was Steve Passwater's awesome CB400F. I talked to him just before I left. He owns one of the best 79 CBXes I have ever seen




In the Euro/Italian section, the overall show winner



Another show winner , same owner, out of the competition section



More Euro/Italian..



The English contingency was by far the largest. Maybe, because last year, A BSA took all the honors..




























The Rickman brothers were among this year's Hall Of Fame inductees. Their bikes had a special section:



These two pics are the same bike. Just shows how bad the lighting was.






The Competition class





Ignorant me, has no idea, why this was in the comp class. Maybe Larry knows..



Finally, on the way out, I saw that I was not the only one with a CBX. The owner of this nicely done 79 was from Columbus.







If you see anything in the background of one of the pictures, that you would like to examine closer, let me know. I may have a shot of it.

Looks like you had some great scenery to look at Mike.
Thank you for posting the pics.
I have always liked the cafe Rickman bikes. I had a Rickman 1/4 fairing on a Water Buffalo years ago. I am sure that is as close to owning one as i will get.

THANK YOU MIKE.....

I do not seek wealth but if I were rich I would buy them all...

Jay Lenno, I hate you.....

PS. Looks like a Norton International Mike....Opps the Triumph, nothing really special other than a nice Bonnie without lights ??
