Wynwood

The Inaugural
Wynwood Vintage Motorcycle Festival
 
That means it was the first of many.
I hope.
The boys at Old Souls, Young Blood put on a darn good show.
(even though I didn't win!)
 
 
I brought down Richard Silver's BSA Rocket Gold Star to enter
in the cafe racer category.
It's kick-ass.
All John Tickle gear on this one. I've done alot of work on it over the last 5 years, and figured it had a chance to win.
A 1982 Honda won. Oh well.
 
 
It was a great show held in Wynwood, Miami.
Alot of bikes showed up, and I of course will share!
 


 
A few of what I consider the cream-of-the-crop.
 
Jacob picked out this Yamaha.
It is the 2nd time he's picked an SR500.
hmmm....
 
And, of course, there was live music.
 
Now, for what you were waiting for...
Awards.
This year, I've decided that my judging criteria be a little more focused
 
Sooo....Mean Machines'  Wynwood Festival's
 
Meanest of Show 
 
I'm not usually a chopper guy,
but sometimes they need to be appreciated.
The gold...the kicked up fishtails...the apes...
I don't know.
Thats why it's good to make your own rules.
 
And of course, we need a Best Rat Bike.
