Just thought I would share.
It was a great time and I made some good friends. Lots of airhead discussion so I was in heaven! haha.

JJ, what a great bunch of pictures! Nice job and thanks for sharing. That stripped white bike with kind of bicycle seat and almost no fenders really does something to the imagination. Very cool.

Agreed Daz ... great variety of airheads, 2 wheeled & 2 legged.
Love the smile on the lady in the sidecar outfit !
Thanks for sharing, JJ.

Small rally! That was a fair crowd!
Some very interesting personalisations too. Thanks for the link.
Does this one have the rocker on the wrong way or is the engine lifted and tilted a tad?

It's pretty clear to me that the rocker covers have been swapped, L on R and R on L.

+1 on Ken. The engine is at the normal place in the frame.

I am curious about the handling of the airhead with the Ohlins fork on it. I've looked into putting a Ducati fork on one of my bikes and the fork is too short, not to mention the issue of rake. It is a very appealing concept to have the supple feel of the newer fork and the rippin' brakes that can go with them.
I really like that they showed the owners with the bikes instead of just the bikes.
Will you please post something here in advance if there are any more events of this nature in So. Cal.? Thanks.

Will do. They just had their Vintage Venice motorcycle festival last weekend. I missed this year's turn out but in the past, it is a great showing of old bikes.
I'll keep you guys posted next time I hear of anything.

I'm thinkin' that bike just has to be equipped with a handlebar mounted master cylinder.
And it really needs a BMW roundel on the tank. (Unless that would screw up the artistic vision, what with the ammo box panniers, shorty muffler and all.) But one thing I'm really sure of, that new style Triumph logo decal just has to go! (And I'm not even gonna talk about that baby blue color on it.)
