Are there usually a lot of vintage bikes at Blue Plate to check out?

I will be on call that weekend, but if there's no service calls, I will try to make it.

Are there usually a lot of vintage bikes at Blue Plate to check out?

as long as the weather is ok. I have seen people ride rain or shine and some even trailer bikes in. It is hard to say, but a member from the department of transportation is going to be there getting maps of rides so I suppose there will be a good turnout.

Indeed, there are usually a good number of vintage bikes.  They range from Triumphs and the occasional Norton to Kawasakis, Suzukis, Hondas, BMW etc, as well as a few vintage Harleys.  It's been a while since we had a Moto Guzzi roll in, so if any of you has one, bring it out!  Oh, and Klaviator:  One of our members frequently rides his (sorta) vintage Vespa to breakfast as well!

Seth, there are a number of us coming from the North Alabama Vintage Motorcycle Club.  I'm estimating 10~15 folks, from what I'm hearing.  I think you got a fairly good forecast from RJ when y'all saw each other at Sam's Thursday eve.

It was a nice day for a ride in the countryside.



We pulled into Allsport a little early.  Mike showed up a little later on his Honda Dream.

Checkin out a potential future bike?



I enjoyed myself today.  Thanks to Allsport for organizing this event as well as the Vintage club for setting up the breakfast. 

I left Allsport at 1:30 and still easily beat the rain home.
