Which one today...?
We're arranging for the Riders from Louisville to meet in LaGrange and ride up US-42 / US-421 as a group to attend. Also getting Riders from the retro scenes in Indianapolis and Cincinnati involved.

VJMC will have a presence there as well.

This is a FREE event to attend, no registration fee to enter bikes in the show.

The show is being organized by Thornton's Motorcycle Sales, with stores in Madison, IN and Vincennes, IN. It's their first effort at an annual show, and they have no idea if 5 bikes will show up or 500.
We've learned that the owner, John Thornton, has quite a collection of vintage bikes, and he will be bringing some of them as well.

The Salvation Army obtained a bike from Thorntons, and will be raffling off the bike at the show. We don't yet know the cost of raffle tickets.

All benefits go to Salvation Army.

All the info we have at the moment are in the links. We'll post updates as they become available.

Madison is a very nice river town town on the Ohio. The event will be on the historic waterfront park area that also hosts the Madison Regatta unlimited hydroplane races every year. Madison is ideally located about half way between Louisville and Cincy.

Even if you don't have a vintage bike to show or ride, stop by & say "Hi" if you can. My wife, The Lovely Z1BEBE and I will be there on two of our Z-1's.

This could turn into a great annual vintage bike event. Hope we see some of our forum members there.
