The Ariel club's display included this beauty. This group was also just set up in the swap meet. Note all the congestion behind the Square Four, which is typical of Vintage Days - just tons and tons of fantastic old bikes and parts.

Riding into History Show and I had the wrong Camera... Brough Superior. Arial Square Four. Vincent. Triumph
Next few days will be some of the better posts from the local Riding Into History Motorcycle Concourse in St Augustine Florida. Sadly, I packed the wrong lower resolution camera so my pics are not as sharp as I'd usually hope for. A little post processing seems to have given them some usefulness though. Here's some of the first pics I snapped. I was an perfect day and an outstanding event.
FYI: If you want to see the whole album go to the "Links to full albums" page at the top of this blog and there are links to this album as well as most of the rest of my pics. Enjoy!
