Owl's Head Museum of Transportation Vintage Bikes

Hey Folks,

I have been out of the loop quite a bit this summer due to some legal matters involving a co-owner of a mutually owned property. Let's just say paying a full mortgage, rent and lawyers fees has not made this piano mover's life easy, financially speaking. But I will not bore you with my worry.  I have had a couple nice days on my R80, and today was a particularly spectacular outing with a ride up to Owl's Head, Maine for the annual Vintage Bike Show at the Museum of Transportation.  I rode up with 20 riders and it was perfect. No cars in front, no cops behind, and Sunday drivers literally flashed their lights to let us through in a group. Awesome.

So here are a couple pictures of some bikes in the "German" section. I haven't labeled them yet..... :)

Sounds like you enjoyed what I refer to as a "Diamond" day. Great photos. Thanks for posting 'em.

As to your current chores; been there, too. Keep your head up and move forward.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Good to have you back SP.

Wonderful photos! Thanks.  Wish I could have been there too.

Persevere and overcome. We're rooting for you!

Thanks for the pictures, Jeff!  This one was talked about over on Boxerworks.

The ride up was 99% of the fun.  ;)
