Guess this fits best in the "Just Ride" thread, as I believe that I have posted in the past on this event. Yesterday was the annual Montreal-chapter Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group rally at Pritchard's Farm in Ormstown, Quebec. It is a bike gathering, concours event, swap meet and all around good time. It was smokin' hot out, but that didn't deter the faithful from turning out> Here's some pics:

There were four XS 650's. Two of these have been posted before, but these two were new to me:

Next up a broad variety of bikes that struck my eye:

Although the venue is close enough to home to ride, I had the privilege of riding to the show in this:

The rod is a heavily modified '29 Ford Model A Sport Coupe on '32 rails, 283 cu. in. Chevy backed by a T5. Mark is a master fabricator and the body guy is also a master. The car is impeccable, with endless incredibly intricate fabricated elements that make it truly exceptional. Photos taken at the grounds of a micro-brewery a stone's through from the US border.
Deal of the day at the swap meet: a trailer-load of XS 650 parts including what appeared to be a complete but dismantled bike, a second from and a whole jumble of assorted XS bits. $125 Cdn! Was sold by the time mark spotted it. I had to settle for a set of aluminum Malcolm Smith enduro bars with a Maguro throttle and master for $15
Good day had by all!
