2023 Oregon Vintage Motorcyclists Show in Corvallis

[swooshdave]

43rd Annual Show, and always dear in my heart as it was the first time I saw a Greenie in person and I haven't been so insufferable since. 

Much to the consternation of the president of the club I park my bike on the field but don't register it so it can get voted on. I just do it because I can keep an eye on it. 

 

 

Pit stop on the way home. Also because the green looks fabulous in the sun.

Ha ha

They do look good in the sun don't they....!

I get quite a few WOW that looks great... is it a standard paint job?

When I tell them it is they look incredulous!

Cheers

Great seeing you at the Show, Dave. Thanks for taking photo of my gray V11S!

Why have the cylinders on so many of those bikes sagged so much?

The prior owner bought it in 2002. It had 2000 miles on it. He had until Jan 2021. He [PO] lived in my neighborhood. I knew him from 2000 or so. He moved up to Albany OR. Asked if I would like to ride it the 40 miles to his new home. Yeah, twist my arm! Year later he advertised it for sale. I called him up and said I would be happy to buy it. I just gave him his asking price. He took very good care of it. I have all the paperwork from original owner [it was shipped out from Michigan], maintenance records and receipts for accessories. Also received two totes of original parts, extras, Guzziology and factory manual. 

Ten years ago, I fell off my GS. Part of my recovery was 10000 minimum steps per diem. Walked by PO's house. He asked if I had ridden anything lately. He rolled a cherry 1990 first year HD Fatboy. He insisted I take all the time I wanted on it. That ride cheered me up incredibly. Went out and picked up a Suzuki DR650 to get back in the game.
