Actually, the flat track races are on Friday night with Saturday being the rain date. But, it’s the best antique motorcycle racing in the country. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my.What an outstanding collection of bikes.Thank you for posting them. Good luck.Have fun.Be safe. Leo
@Truckdoctor Andy and @woodbutcher , The joy for me posting these was to share the collection of bikes at the auction. I will post more tomorrow. Really happy that you have enjoyed them.
Your picture of the ElectraGlide fender emblem reminded me of something. When I was younger, my wife and I rode a Shovelhead Low Rider everywhere. It wasn’t very comfortable, but darn it, we were cool. Now I ride an Evo Sportster(solo), and an Evo ElectraGlide. The Sportster is great fun for rides of a hundred miles or so, but you NEVER go wrong taking the ElectraGlide. Out of the ten or so bikes that I have had, my 1992 FLHS ElectraGlide is my favorite.

It has been in the 50s in Ky this weekend . I rolled the old Shovel out to light the wick , after about 20 good stiff kicks , it sputtered and coughed a couple of times and it was running . Man , how easy I forgot , that was a daily routine for years . I better call , a Buddy, anymore , I’m not up to it . I feel as if I have been in a train wreck .
Sky Six, thanks for the Mecum pics. A number of those bikes were from the Art Bulmann collection. Art was an acquaintance from here in the Chicagoland area. He had a restored barn housing this collection. We totaled up the sale prices, about 1.2 million. I thought the sidecar rigs went cheap, relatively. Art sold a few bikes before he passed to local guys. He wanted a lot more for the knuckle side car than it got at auction. I wanted that bike but couldn't come to terms. The one with the passenger car, not the utility car one.
Summer of '69 with my old "45". There are lawnmowers today that could outrun it but it was a blast anyhow. Just one of 17 over the years.
I’m currently converting my 883 Harley into a 1200. I remarked to my Dad how ironic it is that my first set of forged pistons wound up in a Harley. When I was drag racing, I couldn’t afford forged pistons. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
A couple of Roth drawings of motorcycles. I had posted them in the Friday art section but they were deleted . Hope they survive here.
Here's a Curtis and an Indian that were on display at the Smithsonian. and a pic a family member took that didn't turn up till 30 years later of a fun little single cylinder Triumph I had in the late '60s.
Saw this at a recent event. flathead Ford with water circulating through the frame for "cooling" Probably ensures a hot ride.
my 3 redskins at rest about 4 years ago.. no37 now sold and living in Spain the other 2 are still in the barn along with my Triumph Chop "BlackBob"
A friend of mine just bought a new house and is trying to get the garage in order; eat yo ur heart out.
