Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club show

Last Saturday was the VJMC show, and Ross spent the previous two weeks prepping a $20 Honda 450 to ride to the show. He slaved over the thing to get it running and we set off that morning on it's maiden voyage. I rode my 1990 Honda CB-1, which is officially old enough to be vintage (it has to be over 15 years old). From behind Ross I got to enjoy the incredibly loud muffler of the old Honda, and the occasional burning oil smell. We met Bill and Susan at Bill's place. Bill has an old Honda 750 that he had recently got running and had just stripped some nasty aqua paint off of. Susan has a Yamaha SV 650, a thoroughly modern motorcycle.
Together we rode to the Maplewood Suzuki dealer, where the VJMC show was on display.

After the show we decided to go to Bob's Java Hut for a drink. On the way there Susan and I lost Ross and Bill on the highway. Ross ran out of gas, had to pull over on the non-existent shoulder and restart his bike. We all got there eventually and lazed about with iced teas. Bob's is a most excellent place to people-watch. I felt pretty darn good on the motorcycle. I just love that Honda CB-1. It's small and maneuverable and lovely.
