Brookfield NY AMCA Rally August 2006
|
We set off with 5 bikes and 6 riders, meeting at Don Cutts house. In addition to Don, there was Brian Given on his
Velocette, Yves Doyon on his Norton Commando, Steve Wlodarczyk on his Harley, and Patrick Hampson and
Gynet Pilotte on Patrick's son Christopher's 1983 Kawasaki 440 LTD, as Patrick's '66 Triumph Trophy had
developed a leak in the gas tank the night before the ride.
Checking the bikes before leaving Don's house
After breakfast the following morning
Don's 1962 Triumph developed a
chronic oil leak. Emergency measures
had to be taken to get Don and the
bike back to Canada, courtesy of Fred
Crawford of the Old Bastards club.
Arriving at Jeanies Dream Motel after
an uneventful 230 mile ride from
Ottawa.
After the departure of Don and the Triumph we saw some very nice American machinery, and one or two nice
European bikes.
Gynet really liked this Pink Indian
