It was an excellent day for a bike show at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds.
The parking lot was a prelude to the show, put on by the
Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club and the
Antique Motorcycle Club of America. Both clubs did a fantastic job presenting museum quality displays with bikes that ranged from well preserved survivors to absolute showpieces.
Some eye candy from the show and swap meet.

Lots of pretty, pretty bikes there! I wasn't aware this show was going on, though I'm not sure if I would have been able to make it or not.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!
Thanks for putting me on the Tour! I'd go back next year, all the bikes at the show were well presented, some shows just stack em in there.
