There was one Indian and a few Triumphs. My brother used to own a Norton Commando about a 1972 vintage. It was a beautiful motor bike, all gleaming chrome and very very powerful. (pictured below)

Biker's Category
As well as the classic car section and the hot rods, there was also a category for motor bikes. Most of the bikes were Harleys in all shapes and sizes. I never realised that there were so many different models.

Think I'd rather look at bikes than cars. One trip to Florida we drove off to a place called Dora's Mount, a sleepy town full of old folk and antique shops the guide book said.
When we got there it was the venue of some bikers meeting - loud music, beer tents and lots of noisy bikes - wonderful and totally unexpected!
Tismee - its always great when traveling and you come across something special and out of the ordinary!
I'm a bit of a bikie fan, my father and brothers had bikes so I guess I grew up with them in a way.
My father used to say that its every father's duty to talk their son OUT of buying a bike. He wasn't very successful - both my brothers had bikes.
And sadly my young brother died while riding his bike - the one pictured. Not because of an accident, he had a heart attack - he was only age 49. That was four years ago.
Have you seen the wonderful Anthony Hopkins movie, The World's Fastest Indian?

My love of old bikes is pretty modest, but this is a great story of a famous New Zealander.
Veronica - yes The World's fastest Indian was released here a few years ago with great success! Bert Munro was quite a character and his story is one of dogged determination!
