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.

See ya!

Miss me guys?

Hey everybody!
 
I know, long time no see.
apy-poly-logies
I was having some I.T. issues. Seems like I had some kinda pop-up problem.
Nothing a little JB Weld couldn't fix! 
 
So...I am back!
And there's lots goin' on!
and a bunch of keys are now stuck on my old keyboard.
 
I hope those that could didn't miss the Dania Show!
It just gets better and better.
Thanx Clive and Claire!
 
This year, the spotlight was on race bikes!
 
Yeah, I got a steel shoe!
 (and hopefully can take it off the wall one of these days!)
 
Met the new pin striper in town.
She's actually in St. Augustine, but comes down for the shows.
It's cool to see traditional art continue.
Get in touch with Jillian.
 
So, here it is... Mean Machines
Best of Show!


A trifecta!
Couldn't make up my mind.
(it was a '40's kinda day)
 
Next year- same bike time, same bike place!
Holy slipping clutch, bike men, you've got to show up!
 
And More!
1st Thursday of the month!
Great turn out, great beer, great company,
...and a taco truck!
See you there March 7th.
It's a thursday.
 
And even More...
This saturday.
 
See ya!
soon, I promise

The usual suspects from Lauderdale showed up, along with some guys I haven't seen in a while.

Of coarse, first I hade to fix it.
 
Lotsa events are happening! I'll try to keep you all posted.
