that muther eric england shore can throw a party

the weather this year at ton up nashville's vintage bike show was almost complete 180 degree from last years. last year i could barely breathe it was so hot so split quick-like, and this year...let's just say if you're gonna spend an afternoon looking at british bikes, might as well have some british weather to boot. felt like it dropped 10 degrees over the course of the afternoon, and then proceeded to spit all over us. it was a cold wet ride home, couldn't feel my hands til 9pm. some sick ass bikes,some weird bikes(i didnt even know they made rotary engined bikes), and the bands were 20 times better'n about any other bike show you'll run up on in tennessee...good times (& for a sunday for sure)

yeah i'd have a shit eating grin too^

that rotary suzuki was like a bad 80's table top cassette player, and the blk and green dutch rotary(van veen) was supposedly the most expensive bike on market in '77, 15k british pounds. guy who designed em lost his ass on the company. had these crazy square/kinda octagonal pipes, guy said they weighed 40 pounds a piece, haha. owner is a rotary engined bike nut, has a museum in tullahoma of over 300 bikes, all rotary. gonna go check his collection out some weekend, be an excuse for a ride to tullahoma...

  

^i don't know squat from squat, but this beast looked jacked up as hell, what a sweet bike
