Today was the annul Isle of Vashon ride here in Seattle. Weather was great & the turn out was amazing, lots of cool stuff. It's put on by the local VME as a vintage rally. Of course there was alot of new bike & Harleys but had a great time here are a few shots I took.
and the cb200 I was riding until I got a flat tire:
and here is a link to all of the pics;

Right up till got a flat rear tire going @ 45mph in a long right hand turn a couple miles into the Poker Run Managed to keep it upright & stopped safely. Wound up pushing the bike almost a mile (half in the wrong direction) to a house where I could leave it. The guy I get parts from had his truck on the Island just in case something like this (or worse) happens & was going to be @ the house later got it back to his shop last night. I wound on the back of a friends cb550. Didn't finish the run but did have a great day checking out the bikes. So many more really nice bikes but got tired of trying to get photo's of the stuff w/a crowd. The day could have been much worse, this was first flat on pavement -a few blown dirt bike tires, but this was a long drawn out incident, just had to keep calm slowly get my speed down while the back end slid back & forth. Aw well there's always next year!
That would explain the huge turnout this year. This was my second time attending & the quality of the vintage stuff seems to be getting better & better. Quite a few sidecars & even a small 2 seater Bristol (I think) sports car w/ a cb550 motor,
