Great report and Love seeing the old British bikes .
my Dad had a BSA 650 lightning that he kept in a locked metal shed with documented mileage and hid the key .
at 14 I found the key and learned i could take a couple panels off the back of the shed , roll it out , disconnect the speedo cable and have a great time while he was out of town . was a fantastic experience until he came home early one day ........
I was a troubled child

Love the pictures Guth and Cormanus!
use2b, what a funny story! What I would do to ride a BSA Lightning as a yute......

Alright, this guy did a far better job documenting the event than I did (it's really a great video).

Side note: I must admit that I've never heard of the Honda Motocompo. Crazy.

Some good gear, there. I didn't see you or the Hawk, Guth. Or at least I don't think I did. I particularly liked the old Aston Martin and the mono-wheeled trailer. What a beauty. This surely demonstrates that all Hondas should have RLETS!

Yeah, I was looking through that video for my Hawk as well. He must have shown up before or after I was there (I didn't stay for the whole event).. My Hawk drew some interest, but when I mentioned that I was selling the bike the responses that I received were of the "Don't do it" and "You'll regret it" variety — thanks a lot, lol.

That Aston Martin was gorgeous. The mono wheeled trailed just looked scary,but appears to work quite well.

Guth, Thanks for posting the pictures and the video. I've gone to Beach's cruise nights at PIR (Portland International Raceway) on Wednesdays. You see a broad variety of cars and a good mix of motorcycles too! A smaller show will be at Oaks park later this summer. I just went to LeMay at marymount near Tacoma in June. Another great show of classic bikes.

Welcome to the Cruise In club Guth, lots of fun to be had at those events.

I am president of our local car club and we host a Cruise Night every Tues throughout the summer at a restaurant that I own. We average about 50 cars and 25 bikes which is pretty good for our small town of 1500. You won't find a friendlier bunch of people willing to answer (eager actually) any questions.
