davenport iowa bike rally

hey gang,

instead of going to milwaukee this past weekend for the 100th harley fest, decided instead to have a mini airstream and bike rally in davenport iowa.

the amca was having it's annual national meet. (antique motorcycle club of america)

way big fun and lots to see... here are some pics.

rickstream, 85MH325 and familys attended.

Looks like a good time....

I see you had plenty of MGD with you, as well.

Cody looks like he's been around the block a time or two. One of my sisters used to breed pugs. She's getting the pug fever again.

The vintage bikes are cool. My uncle rode a Harley as a message courier in WWII.

I see 3 AS trailers in the first photo. You, Roger, and who else?

I hope your weekend is fun and safe!

hot then wet...

john

the weather was hot at first then it rained when we left. saturday night was perfect weather for sitting out drinking beer!

i did see a 1903 HD, no picture of it. (my camera was of course elsewhere at the time!)

i did get a pic of these two pre wwI harleys 190?-1911?

you could buy a very nice home for what one of these are worth!
