Thought I would share with you guys the VJMC magazine's coverage of some local events run here last year.



First up was Vintage in the Valley...great event with hundreds od vintage bikes on display..





This is a friends 75 Z900..in just 7 months he turned it into this...he bought it here on the Island along with two other 900s with a buddy of his. Check out the before pic next. Wow...when he showed up at my house with the bikes I thought what a piece od sh*t!!! lol



Before...



Next up is the show we did here in Victoria..great day!



A friend, Cliff's beautiful matching 750s...one is unrestored!



I think you know this guy..lol

 
Good stuff Trevor. So you know Cliff Halayco. He's an old friend from back in the 70's and still visits my brother (his name is also Cliff) in Ladner on a regular basis. Good to see he's out showing his stuff.

Hey Sandy, I think I remember you telling me that you knew Cliff. Good guy and I always go to his little meet and barbecue he has in May. He also has a "sandcast" Honda engine on display in his basement. He doesn't ride the old bikes but he has 750f he rides and a new Chicken Wing him and his wife go on regular trips with.
After the vintage show here, Cliff and his wife came over to the barbecue/garage party we had here. Very good people Cliff and his wife.:)
 
Hey! you can even see the good ol' 1000G in the main photo, well at least the Shoei FM2 fairing, good stuff Trevor.

If you go to his barbeques you've probably met my brother there too. He usually goes over for them, just a ferry ride from Ladner. He would have been on either a Red/Silver '01 Guzzi Lemans, R100RS, Trident or his T350. You might have also met Dave Hunt, used to be partners with Froggie over a Steve Drane Harley. We used to all hang together in Vancouver until I left town in '79 and some of the crowd moved to Victoria. Cliff used to have a complete sandcast he bought new back in the day. I don't remember what happened to it but I remember something about it being serial number 5.

Small world eh Sandy? :) Well I will be asking this year to meet your brother that's for sure. You wouldn't happen to know Gord Pushie would you? He is a friend of Cliff. He is the guy I bought my 81 gs1100e from this past October.

Son of a b!tch. I was going to ask you if that was Gord's bike but I honestly didn't think he would ever sell it. If Gord's there my brother (the other Cliff) will be there. Maybe I'll need a road trip in May. Gord actually bought my condo in Vancouver back when I moved to Cranbrook. You're right, small world.

Actually this is a photo from a family reunion in '06 of siblings and their spouses as well as cousins and kids. Somehow GP made into the photo dead centre in yellow next to my wife in green and nobody noticed until later.

That might be my front wheel to the right of your bike. Darn people gawking!?:biggrin:
 
The story in that issue about the X6 Hustler is my father. We are restoring it right now.. I actually just got home from dropping it off for paint.
 
I joined the club when I went to the show in Victoria, and was VERY surprised when I got the magazine in the mail and saw that I was caught in a picture! :beguiled: Yeah, I'm the guy with the grey beard walking between the bikes.
