    Cheers to all. It’s Riesling O Clock on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Prepping for another cold plunge in Skinny Dip Falls.

    The reason the concrete is much warmer than air temp is mainly due to the Urban Heat Island Affect

    New Cumberland Borough Park Classic Car and Motorcycle show today from 10:00-1:00. I'd never been there but figured it might be a good reason to clean up the Honda CB400F and take it for a ride. Here's a few highlights from the show which had more than 250 vehicles on display in the park. My little Honda cleans up nicely.

    Original owner, he used to ride it to high school!

    This guy won the restored class I was in. He deserved it, this bike is a full frame up resto with a lot of NOS Indian parts.

    [​IMG]

    He also did the green Indian behind it.

    This BMW has been in their family for 3 generations now. Purchased by the current owner's grandfather and passed down now twice.

    This guy has more money in his paint job than I have in al 4 bikes I currently own have cost me. I'm not even counting the built turbo charged motor or insane sound system with 12 speakers.

    Having owned 3 E-body Dodge Challengers in my past this was my favorite car at the show.

    There were several close runners up if I hit the lottery.

    I only took pictures of about a quarter of what was there. It's likely I'll go back next year. There were food tucks, a few vendors, and a DJ playing music the entire time. Nice way to spend my Saturday.
