Cafe Racer Magazine Readers Ride-In Bike Show 2018

Post by jabcb »

Cafe Racer Magazine had their annual Readers Ride-In Bike Show today.
Was at a park near their headquarters in Sewickley, PA, which is a few miles west of Pittsburgh.

We’ve had a lot of rain this summer. Last month was one of the wettest Julys on record for the state. Had flood advisories yesterday because of the heavy rains. Forecast for today was somewhat iffy. Had fewer bikes that last year.

I trailered the GT380 to the event so that I wouldn’t get soaked. So of course we had fabulous weather.

Pic of the entered bikes. I think a few more bikes entered after this pic.

Suzuki was poorly represented today. Just my bike & this nice GT550. The owner left before they started the judging.

My GT380, then an Aermacchi Harley, then some small two stroke, and then a homemade bike with a Honda compressor motor.
