    August 11th, Cafe Racer Magazine's 12th Annual Bike Show in Pittsburgh

    Cafe Racer Magazine's annual bike show in Sewickley Pennsylvania Sunday August 11th 2019. This is a really nice motorcycle show in a beautiful park setting. Sure there are a lot of quality cafe motorcycle builds, but also some modified and vintage stuff too, everyone is welcome. Also this year Royal Enfield will be there with demo rides. If you are within a 4,000 mile radius of Pittsburgh, I'd recommend coming to the show! ��

      Jabcb, what motorcycles are you bringing to the show this year? So I know where to look for you. I'll be on the FJR this afternoon for the Mods Rocker thing. Tomorrow I'll probably be on the HD road king. Hope to see you 👍

        Don't forget to wear all the pirate gear. Also, half helmet, cut off shirt sleeves and mostly, don't forget the handlebar tassles.

          Haha, not my style. I'm probably the funniest looking Harley rider out there. Full helmet, sport riding jacket, boots gloves... I'm trying to sell this thing, I need to get it out there... I'd like a new Tiger 800 or FJR for next years riding season! 🌞

              I rode a 1986 Honda CB700SC to Mods vs Rockers. Have pics in a Flickr album: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmG18Ggy (The last two pics are early in the event before lots of the bikes showed up.)


              Will probably take a 1969 Suzuki T350 to the Cafe Racer event tomorrow.
              Yeah, I saw your bike. I got there late (3:00) I parked on the street. I did make it in time for the Pin Up Girl Beauty Contest, that was fun. Also for the Chinese raffle, wasn't that young girl doing the announcing a hoot! She really hammed it up with the microphone. I'll be at the Sewickley show tomorrow around noon. I'll look for your bike.

                Hey Norm, can we expect to see pics from this event any time soon? Are there any other GSResources members there?

                  I forgot, I was hoping to have made it, it isn't that far (5 hours).
                  Could have stayed overnight....

                      Yes Jabcb, thanks for posting pictures. I had a wonderful day yesterday the weather was beautiful, low humidity, plenty of sunshine, perfect! It was nice seeing Jabcb and his beautiful motorcycle (1969 T350) My buddy Chuck loved it, we both voted for it. On the voting slip it had a place for comments, I put "Just a clean original Zook" 👍 By the way who did win? We left before the awards. The motorcycle parking area was just as good as the show bikes! Next year I'm bringing some hardware! A fantastic show with some great folks.

                        Those photos are great! I really appreciate the T350!!

                        I had a '72 T250 that I was riding when the old Triumphs were still on the road.

                        I still love 2 strokes and wanted the 350 or the 500 Titan, when they came out.

                          That young girl definitely has an impressive stage presence for someone her age.
                          Any chance the pictures are viewable someplace where I don't have to sign up for a Farcebook account?
