Yesterday's road trip pics.
06/19/11 at 09:21:55  
Road to Paris Ont to see the antique and Classic Motorcycle show sponsored by the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group. Here are some pics.
I used to own one of these just like this one.

A beautiful 250cc Beemer.

An Ariel Square Four.

A Nericar.

A 1933 Brough Superior Police Special.

I was hpoing to see some pre-war Enfields, but the only one there was a "51 350 twin.

I don't know the make, but it is a beautiful four cylinder with a side car. Notice the wooden pillion handle.

A flying Merkel.

....and the motor.

...and lastly, an un-restored but drivable Indian.

I apologize for not keeping a photo log so I could tell you more info on these beautiful old machines. There was of course a few pre WWI Harleys there, but we've all seen those before, so I didn't include them.
Hope you enjoy these.
Karl.

Very nice, different assortment.  I like them all, but that Beemer is dreamy.  If I had my choice to take one home though, I think it would have to be the Enfield.  So can you pedal the Merkel too, without the engine running?

I might be wrong but I think the pedals were used primarily to start the motor. Maybe something to do with braking too.

Wow!  Doesn't look very comfortable to ride to me, but still an awesome looking machine.  And I realize it might be fine, but I can't imagine running a fine old machine like that on a contraption like that with just ratchet straps holding it in place.  Just a little out of my comfort zone, if it were me.   And the chain looked a little floppy while running, is that normal?  Just something that caught my eye...

WOW!!!  Shocked  I have to say that was an awesome video to watch the way all the mechanical portions of that engine run. Gives me some more appreciation for all the things going on inside the box of current machines.

Babyhog: they were purpose built board track racers. They raced on wooden tracks with high banks. The design goal was lightness. They didn't even have brakes. And as long as the chain is not sloppy enough to cause it to jump a sprocket it's OK. I looked at how it was mounted on the demonstration thingy and it wasn't going to go anywhere. A lot of guys were riding their bikes around the grounds, but I imagine he didn't want to get grass stains on his snowy white tires. Grin
