            a little video...

            mind you this is about 1/3rd of the vintage bikes that came to this rally...a good half dozen were absent here due to being in Asheville visiting Greg in the hosp....

                  Well, I guess that is why it looked familiar at least since I saw it at one of the Lost Rally weekends.

                    The Blue bike in the background is Viper Ron's 1980...nice paint all the way around...can you tell I like the Venturer based fairings?
                    Hoping to finish Swampthing in a similar vein...she is already a bagger...just gotta nail down a real venturer fairing...i think i got one.....ofc it will have to be painted Red to match the rest of the bike...
                    Swampthing is the middle bike in the first pic above...

                          This restored Special belongs to Wingnut. I really like a nice Special.


                          I like a nice XS650 too!


                          Here's one that goes! This well sorted bike belongs to JeffH.

                              Hey Phil...
                              If you look at the video link i did get Addie in there too... I didnt get close ups of othe bikes for what ever reasons...those that i have here are when we parked at the highest point on the BRP...I think there are 9 bikes in that line up...a few mins after that video...Duwayne showed up and parked next to you...I got a short take on that one too
