Stoney Point Motorcycle Show (June 16,2018)

 Took my wife Debbie to the motorcycle show at Stoney Point Fashion Park in Richmond. Its not a huge show but always one of my favorites because there are a few amazing motorcycles there. For instance check this out....its a Henderson Motorcycle.. Henderson was made from 1912-1931. They had merged with Excelsior at the end (owned by Schwinn Bicycles)


Motorcycle above is simply amazing. It is a very early version of the Excelsior. You can see in this photo the bicycle roots of the motorcycle, even with pedals here and even the earliest belt drive...not carbon fiber though but leather! The motorcycles were made from 1907-1931.
Beautiful motorcycle here is a 1930 era BMW with the classic air cooled Boxer twin. That trype engine is still used to this day in some BMW models. I loved the design of the bike, and thought it was a real show stopper.
The motorcycle show had a number of really fine motorcycles, and I enjoyed visiting it again. It is a nice thing for the mall to do, and look forward to being back there next year.
