More Aunty Qsssss
Strange as it seems, I got invited to a local Antique MC Club breakfast this morning. Kind of a meet and greet. Or, more likely, I was being screened prior to applying for membership.
Anyway, a fantastical breakfast and extensive BS session was had that included a one on one tour of the host/club presidents stash of bikes. A short ride was planned but I excused myself from that as I was away from home most of yesterday. Wish I had gotten more pictures. The red bike is a 1958 Moto Guzzi. The guy kicking over is 74. Looks 55. The blue bike is a big Beemer. BSA Lightning. No idea of the year. The blue CB750 is an early sandcast model.

I was upfront with the Chinese connection, if only by accident. The host was showing me his early Moto Guzzi V7 that had a Vapor speedo combo on it and I let it slip that they were very popular with Chinariders.

I hope to be that 74 year old dude someday.
