Decided to jump on the bike last Sunday and go have a look. Wasn't really expecting much, overcast, foggy and damp

Surprisingly, the place was freaking SWARMING with bikes and people and that's at 10am!

Talked to the pilgrims at Triumph of Raleigh. They didn't have a new Rocket on display, no big surprise there. Didn't have much new information to offer, even less of a surprise.

Did say that they are supposed to be getting 2 probably in NOVEMBER.

Asked how deep the line was with folks wanting one?

He says if you have 500 bux you can be first in the line because nobody's put a deposit down yet. Now THAT was surprising.

So apparently there are at least two left without someone's name attached to it ifin you're interested. Something that I am definitely not.......

I will post some pics of the event later.
 
Someone else has posted that all of the TFC's are sold. Maybe the new Rockets in November are the next Roadsters.

Hoopla
 
Here's a few pictures of the event. There was a bunch of really cool old stuff there but the bikes were stacked so tightly that getting a good shot was hard.

From where I parked looking up one side of the square.

1940 BSA was pretty cool. Dude rode it in too.

A old Suzuki water buffalo all cafe'd up sporting a bunch of modern suspension and brakes with triple expansion chambers.

I bet that thing made quite the racket up on the pipes :eek::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
