Today is the European Motorcycle Show at Lars Anderson Museum in Boston
Representing Germany with his SS issue boots is Herr Rocket
A fish called Honda ........
I was the only "Euro" in the squadren of about 10 to ride up....and the only one on a Jap bike .........kamakazi perfecto!
Thomas Crown and Kendra
The ride up was an epic mix of bikes and characters..........triumphs ..guzzi's...ducati's old and new....moto marini......bmw's and my trusty Peter Hondler..........We stuck to the highways which was a zero scenery wise and trying to keep the posse all together proved tricky ........i maxed out at 75mph and clung on while the honda felt like it was re-entering orbit. Next to me the lads cruised at comfort milling around the road looking all relaxed .........There was a lot of talk before the journey on whos bike would or wouldnt make the trip there and back.... I had a bunch of shite against me ...Lance also had some bets against his Moto Marini........Im pleased to say every single bike and person made it back to town in one piece.........
The roads were not free of certain perils .........
About 2 minutes from entering the show while stuck in traffic ......Harry made a comment about some nuns to my right ...i burst out laughing and managed to stall my bike in heavy Boston traffic , right in front of a cop and a speeding fire engine which was in my lane ........i was kickstarting like a maniac while the cop screamed abuse at me ......in a panic i got it going and flustered my way into the show entrance .....while in line paying the attendant my entry fee ....Thomas and his lovely bird in the BMW and sidecar ran right over my foot ...making the sidecar jump up in the air .........It ruled .......
All in the space of 1minute 30seconds ......Bros n Arrows rides again...........
Mortified at my entrance i hid the Honda in the bushes and went to meet the rest of the crew
Rocket and Wally .........
Huge turnout for the Italian section
This geezer looked like he got dragged up to the show ....His leathers were toast
Hosoi would be stoked
It was real hard to get photos of bikes without all the "bike perverts" gawking and standing around
Custom Norton made for Keanu Reeves........
This manny ruled .....smakeskin boots , Mick Dundee's leathers and Tom Petty's glasses......This cat had it all
This BSA was incredible
This newer Ducati was fast on the corners , had killer custom bodywork done and looked expensive as heck............
This Triumph sounded pretty evil
Heres another of the BSA cos i liked it so much............
More to come ........
