We'll always have Paris

Got back from the Annual CVMG rally this afternoon, my first time actually arriving on a Saturday rather than the Friday. I had a good time as always, but found it was well.......lacking.  It seemed that there was a lot of space left unfilled, fewer stalls, fewer project bikes and a lot of rusty crap with rather high price tags.  This is first time I have left with money in pocket having spent less than $75.00.  An all time record.  Not to say there wasn't temptation.  I nearly went home with a smooth running All State 100CC made by Gilera that would have been an easy project.  The price was right, but with 3 Bridgestones, Triumphs and other projects 1 more would have just been greedy.  Besides handsome as it was, where would I use it?  I know, nonetheless that little bike will haunt me for a long time.  Much as it hurts, if you can't say no sometimes you know you have a serious problem!!   I will let the pictures do the talking from here out.
Really nice Husky, McQueen style.  Not sure if it was for sale or not.




This little Italian Charmer was fantastic beyond words, I wanted to adopt it!

These Kawasaki 350 Avengers were clean enough to eat off of...





A neat pair of restorable Cushman scooters!
