Take a look guys.  Get that old (or new) cafe out and ride with some very nice guys.  I’m not a member of the Idaho Vintage Motorcycle Club, but by all acounts they put on first class events.   Mark your calendars for June 28th for the Retro Rocket Rally.  For details see the flyer below.

Last weekend’s Idaho Vintage Motorcycle Show and Rally appeared to be a big success with greater than 100 bikes on the show floor and hundreds, if not thousands, in attendance. There were many absolutely gorgeous show bikes on display, but also a fare share of very interesting project rides, and a number of daily drivers. The number of bikes on the floor appeared to be quite similar to previous years, but variety was a bit lacking this year, with the Vincents, Ariel Square Fours, and some of the more exotic bikes missing. My favorite of the show? Surprisingly, not any of the old, rare Triumphs or BMWs, but rather a pristine 1989 Honda GB 500 Cafe. You will find a picture of that bike as well as some of my other favorites in the gallery below. To see a photo larger, just click on one of the thumbnails. You can then navigate the the next photo by clicking in the upper right hand corner of the displayed photo. Enjoy!

If you live anywhere near Boise, Idaho, mark your calendars for March 29 and 30. The Idaho Vintage Motorcycle club will be hosting their annual Rally and Show. This show is a real treat, usually drawing between 150 and 200 beautiful classic bikes. You will see anything from concourse queens to rough projects and a huge variety of brands including Triumph, BSA, Norton, Ariel, Vincent, Moto Guzzi, etc. You get the picture. There is also a swap meet, and if you register to participate in the event, a ride and a banquet. You can find a lot more information (registration forms, directions, etc.) at the IVMC web site.
