Not sure how many Tucson/AZ locals we have, but the Tucson Vintage Motorcycle Club is having a show and swap meet on Sunday, April 15th from 10am - 3pm. Registration begins at 10am. It will be taking place at possibly THE best micro-brewery in town, Barrio Brewery (http://barriobrewing.com/).
I'll be taking some photos (and be there on the r65, of course.) If you're in the area, come on down and enjoy!

Looks great is that the place you were talking about earlier....

Yep, I believe it is the same place.

Great show and a really decent turnout. My r65 was in very good company. I didn't expect to win in the "German Class" (and I didn't) ... the 1st place went to the gorgeous blue 1969 you see in the photos below.
Here is a sampling of photos. The rest can be seen in the full album here. (https://picasaweb.google.com/115206442372200195961/TucsonVintageMotorycleShow?authuser=0&feat=directlink)
First shot has to be my r65, of course.

Fun Chopper. I spoke with the owner and he was a nice guy... fabricated everything himself. It's on sale locally if you want it. ;D

Antique Iron. I believe this was a 1932 they said. It won for it's category:

That's quite a parts-hauler for the swap meet. There was something about me that the Pug didn't like. Every time I walked by, it started barking at me like mad.

My first ride was a 1969 Honda 50 nearly like this. Mine was dark-Mustard yellow, though:

This won the German class 1st place. 1969 r69 (I believe):
