Wauseon Antique Motorcycle Meet
Just got back from Wauseon, OH. They've got a big shindig going on this weekend, with an antique motorcycle show, swap meet, and racing. Here's just a TINY taste of what was there.
1997 Valkyrie- Light Cutomization, but Too Busy Riding
1980 KZ1300- Bike's Haunted
1976 GL1000 (Yellow)- It Runs (Poorly) and Doesn't Leak (Mostly)
1974 Velosolex 3800- Better Than Walking
1972 CB750- Broke the Chain And Ate the Motor
1969 CT90- The Most Fun You Can Have on 90ccs.
1965 CA77 Dream- Needs a Full Teardown, but Complete
All advice I give is only valid until an expert corrects me.

Re: Wauseon Antique Motorcycle Meet
I caught this rather well-done GL1100 custom. Was curious if it was anybody on here?
Overall it was pretty awesome. Didn't catch the flat-track races ($20 admission was a bit steep), but I caught a bit of it through the gaps in the fence- those guys are NUTS. Also met a guy who's buddy just bought a KZ1300. Pretty rough shape, but I've seen worse. Talked with him about that a bit (he didn't know much about it), kinda disappointed I never met the guy who actually BOUGHT it, but eh.
Probably going to be back tomorrow afternoon. I'd love to catch the actual show competition on Sunday, but I'll be busy. DEFINITELY worth a trip if you're close. $5 to park, free admission. More Harley's, Indians, BSAs, than you know what to do with. Running around, too. There was a 1901... 'something' (didn't catch what) that looked immaculate.

Re: Wauseon Antique Motorcycle Meet
Great pictures, wish I could have been there.
That 4 cylinder Cleveland is a new one to me. Nice! Had to go look it up.

Re: Wauseon Antique Motorcycle Meet
Yeah, I didn't know Cleveland motorcycles were a thing until this show.
I'm headed back today with my brother. I'll see what I can do about getting more pics.

No way I'd be able to make it there but I wish I could. I've always loved the look of the Ariel Square Fours.
