Default Classic Motorcycle Show

Went to a motorcycle show last month. I like bikes from the 70's and newer, but some of the older bikes are okay. I saw this nice cafe, do you know what it is? Hint, check out the single cylinder and "S" badge on the tank:
It's a Suzuki Boulevard S40 655cc. Looks way better than the original. How about this one. An old Superbike. Air-cooled V6 with a side-car. The guy started it up and it was amazing to watch the rocker arms moving. It's a Henderson V6, but I don't know which model. You don't see many of these ring-dings around any more. Just watch out for the blue smoke.

And I saw this old bike out in the parking lot. What a parking lot for this old amusement park. About twenty handicapped spaces and motorcycle parking for about 500 bikes. Oh, wait that's my bike. With the Progressive fork springs and Works Performance shocks, the tires just clear the ground when on the centerstand.

Nice, my first bike was a Savage (before they switched to S40). Mine didn't look that cool.

That S40 looks fucking killer. I think there was a company doing those things on the cheap... Like $8k out the door or something... saw it in CW I think...

That's a '72 (I think), H2 Mach IV.

Absolute fucking beast to ride, but very fast for it's time. A friend of mine had one, so I rode it.

Once.
