Just a short ride to see some antique bikes and cars

This was actually a few weeks ago, but bear with me. The day broke clear and blue, promising pleasant riding weather, and because it was "kona weather" there was very little wind. I met up with a few of my friends in North Kohala and headed over the Kohala Mountains to Waimea. Here we are at the scenic lookout. Not too much of a view because of the volcanic haze:
We stopped at the Waimea Starbucks for coffee, and then headed off to Waikoloa where my friend Hap was going to buy/pick up two British motorcycles. The first, a 1970s Triumph, was a runner. Started on first kick every time, a sweet little machine:
... and a BSA with an electrical problem (battery dead):
Hap picked up both of these bikes for $4000 and some koa wood. Hap is one happy guy!

and some very cool custom VWs:
Also represented were some nicely restored American muscle cars. My favorite the Dodge Charger:
...and even a VW powered Ferrari replica:
oops, how did she get in here? Ferrari replica, I think:
