Despite rain clouds rolling in over Illinois Street, bikes of all types rode into Indy for the 5th Annual Rocker’s Reunion. There were Beemers, Brit bikes, Italian motorcycles n’scoots, the Big Four and more. They were stock, chopped, cafe’d, mint, ratted, raked, old and new (see the pics and video below!).
In the early 1900s, pioneering motorcycle racers must’ve raised their eyebrows with a sly grin when looking upon the smoothly graded horse tracks at the local fairgrounds.
Ever been to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for a weekend of AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days? If not, man, you should go. If you’ve been, you’re probably hooked. You’ll find extinct, endangered, and classic brands of bikes being sold, ridden, or raced (hard). Various vintage racing is happening all around you while new-model demo rides are available at all hours. Of course, what would VMD be without the massive motorcycle swap meet? It’s breathtaking, in an extremely miscellaneous and random kinda way. We’ll be featuring Mid-O in many articles to come, but for today, we wanna paint a picture of what we feel is the highlight of the event: People watching. So, grab a lemon shake-up, find a shade tree and enjoy watching this sampling of Midwest motorcycle culture pass by. (We took these pics in 2010.)
