Dennis -  you are welcome to take a second bike from the garage.

Latest news.  Bruce Barry says that there should be plenty of stanchions if we, the flat track display, and the British Only Club end up with more bikes than anticipated.  There is extra space around the corner for us.

If you want to show off a bike and you are not on the roster, feel free to bring it anyways.

I can also bring an intermediate ramp.  It is a steel bench about 1.5 feet high with a good ramp from there to the ground, or from there to your truck/trailer.  I know Russell was worried about unloading from the back of his truck because of its height.

I should be arriving at the back of the Mall by 7:30 with the first of my bikes.  Anyone who will volunteer as a guard for my bike and anyone else moving several bikes (Russell) would be greatly appreciated.

Peace & Participation, Dennis

   Mine is still broken so I will be pushing again. Will try to get there early and help out. CHEERS.

Stopped by the mall today, or rather drove in from Vanderhoof to oggle the bikes . The display looked great. Lots of vintage bikes there.
 I enjoyed chatting with Ted about his plans for the CB550 Super Sport. I wish I could have brought my CB750F in this weekend, but family commitments prevented it. On the bright side, my 16 month old daughter enjoyed the bikes at the mall (even if did keep daddy from really checking out the displays...lol). She eagerly pointed out each set of bikes as we strolled. I'm looking forward to bringing her in again tomorrow, too.
 The British Bike Club also did a great job, mustering a bunch of Limey iron. I know a lot of the fellows are here at the PGVMC too, so kudos to them! The Flat Trackers were also well represented... I hope they stir up some interest. Great to see this idea comming to fruit.
 If you haven't had a chance to get out, better swing by there tomorrow.

Could be my lack of interest in larger/newer bikes but the vintage and british displays looked really good compared to the others. A great variety of machines!

Thanks to the guys who manned the booths and were so friendly to passers by.

It was a great turn out by the PGVMC and the PGBMC. 








Peace & Grease, Dennis

I agree, Dennis, it was a very good turnout for the PGVMC.  And, because we contributed to the PGBMC?s outstanding display, I think we can feel good about their success as well ? at least I do ? we?re all part of the PG motorcycling community.
I see my '77 CB550 front and center in your first picture.  Funny how they always look so much better through the lens of a camera than in reality.
All in all, with the Awareness Show, the fair weather and Charlie and Betsy?s excellent Shelley Shindig, it has been one of my more enjoyable weekends for some time.
My thanks to all who made it possible.
Ted
