Dave.
There's nothing off topic about that beautiful line-up of bikes. There were some very nice Suzukis amongst all that other rubble. Thanks for the show. Cheers.

Dave,

Those are some great images of very special bikes. There was a nice Norton in there that I liked a lot. You must have had a hay-day looking at all those classic configurations. It must have been some event. Very nice and thanks a ton for sharing them with us.

There are some sweet bikes there.

Kinda funny though, I was just talking to a buddy last night and he was ragging on Vetter. He said that the only decent thing Vetter ever designed was the Triumph Hurricane. I had no idea what one looked like, and now I do. I'd still rather have that HRD :)

Excellent pics! I agree that Hurricane is awesome. Too bad not many were made. I think the Harley xlcr was a sharp bike too. I guess it didnt appeal to the die hard Harley fan.

Interestingly, this is what got Triumph's attention and got them to hire Vetter to make the Hurricane:

I'm not wild about the enduro style of the rear fender personally. I think it would look really sweet as a bumstop...

Thanks for the link, Dave.
That nice red A100 and that one owner GS1000E would look nice in my shed.
Disappointing that there weren't any Suzi Triples there.....
