First Night of Summer

41 FLTT Carb Prep

Felt bad that I was such a slacker and didn't get the 41 done for Rhinebeck...I began on the carb today. Didn't finish it yet but wanted to fit it on the motor and check things out...41 carb body was painted silver. I just threw that deflector on to get a feel...not sure about it...

Before

After...

I think this finishes up my shots from Rhinebeck 2011. Had a great time again!

The Hudson Valley guys along with the Coalition of Chapters put a ton of work into this meet and do a great job.

The weather was a little funky from time to time and they had to have the Motorcycle Time Line indoors this year but the facility has huge connected buildings with plenty of room to spare.

Larry Bishop at Rhinebeck???

Larry is that you?

You be the judge...

Was that Larry Bishop of Hell Ride (and many other biker flicks) at Rhinebeck...or just another guy from Jersey?

Twin 1912 Hendersons!!!! Rhinebeck - Part 2

I may never see this again so I gave them their own post. Two restored 1912 Hendersons in one place! In the bottom picture you can see Frank Westfall's Twelve with the late Mike Smith's Twelve in the background. The top picture is the late Mike Smith's.
