Ephrata: April 2009

First Sunday in Ephrata is an interesting event. It's not a show, there are no requirements for entry and it doesn't cost anything to attend. It's just a parking lot and as I learned today, you can get breakfast if you want. Sure, it's an over priced buffet but it benefits the American Legion so it's all good.

This parking lot draws an amazing variety of bikes.  You can see high-buck customs.



To rattle can specials.



Vintage Italian iron.



Modern sport bikes.



Here's a detail of that paint work.


And everything in between. Here's a sampling of some of the highlights of the day.


An automatic Hawk.

 
This is the gage cluster with a gear indicator where the teach would be.

And a parking brake where the clutch lever normally goes.


A Yammie Rat.


Wearing the truest bumper sticker ever.

A PC800. I want one... I know, it's a sickness.


A couple XTs with top boxes. I wonder if the front tires ever touch the ground.


A H-D tank signed by The Man and The Other Man.


A Goldwing embracing the stereo type.

Which of these things is not like the others?


Coolest bike of the day.

The other coolest bike of the day. Lots of custom fab work and attention to detail in this little gem.

That's a lot of spokes.

To quote Nigel Tufnel: "It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black."


The only Guzzi I saw all morning.

    Cool pics! I had been parked right next to those 2 XTs and saw them roll in; husband and wife is my guess. I was outta there by 1000 so I missed the peak, but on the bright side I was able to exit without bumping elbows with anyone. :^)
