Carlisle (Fairgrounds in Carlisle, PA) is always a blast no matter what the event. I bought my first car up there in 2001 (1972 Dodge Dart Swinger). I had been wanting to go to the bike fest for a while, but things always got in the way. Well this time I was free. The only thing standing in the way was the humidity and the 105 degree record setting heat.
I put on my game face (and sun screen) and marched out into the fields of vendors, swappers, and shiny things galore.
One of the few CB750's we saw there on Saturday. I swear I know this dude.
Rad Bro.
Though not my style, the detail on this thing was impressive.
The million dollar tank... Or 28.
Steampunk junk for Jeff. The bike had some pretty cool stuff on it.
All original. Kept in storage for 95% of it's life. I spoke with the owner and it was just a series of bad events that left this beauty sitting around.
TURBO! Schwing!
Peak-a-goo
One of the sexiest SB/F girders I've seen. They're so well built.
Exactly what the 'busa was missing... Two more wheels.
This one's been around the block. Maybe once on an actual city block. A lot of nice work.
Hell yes. This was sitting right next to the worlds fastest lawn tractor. 4 wheel steer, hydraulic powaaaa.
Caught some people doing some sweet tricks.
Ok so it was fake. You probably caught the rope dangling from the front tire in the previous picture. (or not HA!)
CX500 car.
All in all it was a good time. We moved through everything pretty quickly because it was so hot out. About 15 glasses of refreshments at a local diner and we hit the road. "Hey, do you know anyone with a pool?"
Last picture. What the hell man!?! 92 octane? What a freakin rip. F.U. P.A.!
hah. Fupa.
Did you buy anything there? Looks like a cool variety of stuff, always cool to see an old metal flake trike.
ReplyDeleteThat metal flake trike is owned by one of John's friends. He lives right in Ijamsville and drives it all the time.
