Vintage Motorcycle Racing

Dave and friends attended the Vintage National Motorcycle Races an the Electric City Track in Duanesburg yesterday. This was a two day event with about 150 participants and 75 spectators. It sure brought back memories of Dave's racing days.



Here are a few of the bikes that he saw:

A 1967 Suzuki 250 X-6 Hustler with custom made hardtail frame. Note that the only suspension is the springs on the seat and there are twin compression releases on the cylinder heads.


The owner shows off her stock framed Harley Sportster flat tracker.

This is a Suzuki 500 Titan Twin made into a flat tracker...

How about a Honda CL 360 stock framed flat tracker...

British Vintage Triumph flat tracker at its finest...

This is a Honda GL 1500 Gold Wing Bobber...

Not sure what this is, but it was really kewl!

This youngster is the new #31, Dave's old racing number. He was living up to his predecessor by winning both of his classes!

And here is the vintage racer himself, back in the 70's before he even grew a beard or mustache. Those were the days...
