Vintage in the Valley

Weldangrind · 08-17-2014, 08:01 PM

I rode Lifanda to the Vintage in the Valley motorcycle show and swap meet in Chilliwack, BC today. There were several interesting bikes on display, and I actually saw no less than six Kawasaki 900's.

I didn't take many pics, but these bikes made me smile.

First up is the Bat Cycle from 1966, replete with Robin's go-kart.

I really liked this lovely Honda. I'd like to build something like it some day.

Egads!

That looks like the genuine Batcycle.

I wonder if the water cooled one is a later British Scott?

It is a Scott. Look at the base of the cylinder in the second photo. You can just about make out 'SCOTT'.

Thanks for helping me ID the bike, guys. I have seen it at the Abbotsford bike show in the past, but I had no details. Neat machine.
