Vintage Japanese Bike Show, Winter Haven

LWRider · 06-12-2012, 11:45 AM

The Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club is having a bike show November 3rd, 2012, in the city park, downtown Winter Haven. There will be plenty of vintage and antique bikes on display and food and drink is conveniently within walking distance. If you have an old Japanese bike or just an interest in them, this is a chance to see some nice examples and join the club. Other activities are planned for VJMC members and if you join you can also join in the other fun, including at least one vintage bike ride through the countryside surrounding Winter Haven. Details are still being worked out and I will post more once a final schedule is adopted.

Cheers,

Mike, VJMC member

Cool, Roger. I rode past your place a week ago and had your T-shirt, but it was pouring rain so I buzzed right past. I'll get it to you one of these times. We are supposed to have a couple rides on the Bike Show weekend. Not sure if they are going to open them to non-club members or not yet, but it would be fun to have you along. I'll let you know what the club decides, but evne if not, it is all public road, if ya know what I mean!

Got over fifty bikes signed up for the bike show. Going to be a good turnout. There happens to be a car show next to us, too, on Saturday.

chefonahonda · 10-31-2012, 09:17 PM

And exactly where is the event so I can stop by. Gotta catch up with you Mike!

LWRider · 11-01-2012, 08:54 AM

Right downtown Winter Haven, west of the downtown building and east of 17. Near the library.

Do not forget the pictures! sounds like it could be a cool show.

LWRider · 11-12-2012, 08:31 AM

I kinda failed you guys with the pictures. I was slated to do the photography of the Saturday ride, which I did and after that I got no more pics. I was involved heavily in the planning and execution of the event and just had too much going on to carry a camera around with me at the show. That said, however, there were a ton of pictures taken. They are posted on Shutterfly and if I can figure out how to get public access to them I will post the link here.

By the way, it was a very successful event and I see doing it yearly. Oldest bike was a 1957 Honda Benly all original including the stickers on the frame. Also had some unique cafe racers.

I'll post back if I figure the picture thing out.

Cheers,

Mike

I am glad you will get the pictures posted. The one picture you did add is your Avatar picture. I did not recognize you when I re-read this thread.

LWRider · 11-13-2012, 04:00 PM

I think this will work. http://vjmcevents.shutterfly.com/guestbook To see the pictures go to this guest link and scroll down to "Inaugural Florida VJMC Rally and Bike Show - Winter Haven 3-4 Nov 12"
