More motorcycles at the BSA Owners Club of Northern California's 2015 Clubman's show and swap (Part 2)



 A couple more angles on that Triumph Triple

From here on out in no particular order....I'll try to put a label on them as I recall or find hastily written notes...


I did make it back here...to add a few more labels and correct some errors...and I am really going to get a post done with some European and Japanese bikes.


Calling this a "Custom"...it was probably billed as a "Bobber"...a term that seems to mean many things to many people....It's a unit construction Triumph small twin ...a 500 twin carb. in a rigid frame, with a sort of military flavor...





This is a very nice looking 1954 Triumph TR5 Trophy   






A 1936 AJS ,sorry about the blurry shot of the whole bike








Couple of Triumph Cubs    






Every time I see a Goldstar...I give myself a kick...for passing on a 'kit' I could have had for a thousand dollars...




The new Norton Commando making an appearance at the Norton Club table.  



HRD ...forerunner of the Vincent...



A pair of Ariel Square Fours...



Nicely 'Cafed' Norton Interstate...



Another nicely done 'real' Commando...with a lot of 'real' Triumphs...


A 1966 Triumph Bonneville TT   rare piece...





The following is an amazing bike. A recreation of a Velocette Roarer, didn't get a chance to speak with the owner...







Pretty amazing workmanship



Let's see...Cafe, trackers, street trackers...


Very nice 1964 Triumph Bonneville...fronting a row of  others ,equally nice


a 1948 Velocette



Both sides of a 1961 Velocette Tourer

Well, this is probably a good place to stop...as this things been 'in the can' for awhile...to quote a film term...time to publish it...just remembered I have a bunch of European and Japanese bikes to get on here as well. The Sacramento mile is coming up this month. Next month the second running of DirtQuakeUSA. So bikes to get running...trailer hitches to install...vehicles to tune up...'Spring cleaning"...plenty to do.


The Following is a public service announcement brought to you...


Looks like Dave has established his Winter look...must be getting cold...he's let his hair grow. He sends his love out to his blogger brethren...and is getting ready to resume regular service at his blog....meanwhile you can get your Whitelinepsycho at Instagram...that is all....
