Bull City Rumble

We've been to this event before, but didn't see this many

motorcycles and people. It's put on by Ton Up NC.

When Jack was a chopper jockey this Panhead would have

sported a drum front brake. It is a very clean bike compared to 

the Baggers that are so popular these days. 

When you could buy these Laverda Jotas new, Jack thought

the engines looked too square and industrial. Now whenever

he sees one he says, "What was I thinking?" A long bike with

low bars, he would not get along with it now.

Two stroke Yamaha flat track racer.

An AJS flat track racer.

A Honda road race bike. Bikes like this were popular at 

Willow Springs in California in the eighties.

I think this BMW R100RS came down from Connecticut.

Here is a cleaner version. This is probably the nicest 

motorcycle BMW ever built.

It's hard to know which bikes will become very desirable

classics. Most of the Vincents did. Of course, in thirty

years, people will drool over Street Triple 675s.

A Ural with custom paint and some serious engraving.

 Moto Guzzi Ambassador 750. This was a big touring bike

in its day. They are supposed to have very reliable engines.

This BSA is an oldie. I think it's even older than Jack.

Here is a naked bike derivative that I think people call

a Street Fighter.

The sword shifter on this Shovelhead would likely take the

spunk right out of a Street Fighter.
