[net.cycle] VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE MEET--JUNE 2 & 3, CORVALLIS, OR

donch@teklabs.UUCP (Don Chitwood) (05/25/84)

The Oregon Vintage Motorcyclists club (OVM) is having its annual
spring meet on the weekend of June 2 & 3 at the fairgrounds
west of Corvallis.

Saturday is scheduled for a vintage bike tour around the local
area.  There are some other activities that day, but I don't have
the announcement at hand.

Sunday will have a swap meet in the morning (members only, I think)
a meeting, and then from noon to 4? will be a public (not free, I believe)
display of the bikes.  Attendance has been quite good and a broad variety
of machines are on display and evidenced in the parking lot as well.

Memberships are available at the show.  They have a semi-periodical
newsletter with pictures, articles of interest, and wanted/for sale
sections.

If it rains, there are indoor areas at the fairgrounds for the displays.

If you like old bikes or have never seen a random display of same,
this is one of the best chances you'll have to confirm the notion
that most of the "new" ideas in bikes are simply rehashes of things
tried in the early days of biking--i.e. water cooling, monoshock
suspensions, v-4 engines, dual brakes, etc.
