Motorcycles From The Past And Me

This past week-end I was in Davenport Iowa for the Vintage Motorcycle Days at the fair grounds  I snapped some good pictures of bikes from the past.  The Triumphs are a British bike  and I saw some beauties.

Bikes had an important part for the armed services.

I also loved this Norton.

The Indian Chiefs hold a special place in my heart because my first ever ride on a motorcycle was on an Indian Chief.  It was a 1947 Chief but in 1953 didn't look this pretty.

I also love the cycles with side carts and some were really custom like this one with a leather chair for the side cart seat.

I was in the infield for the races and got to meet some really nice people. This is the bike that I was rooting for. It is a Triumph ridden by a rider from Texas known as Wild Will from Stephenville.  

Here he is out on the track.

I finally met Wild Will and his wife Pat after being an online friend for about 8 years.

I also met several other flattrack  supporters that I had only known online.  I use my own name but the gal with me goes by Cherrypicker online.

It was a beautiful week-end as you can see in the pictures.
