Riding into History 2011
World class golf courses, hotel, condos, Imax theater, Golf Hall of Fame, and about 300+ show quality antique and classic motorcycles make for a wonderful day.
World Golf Village is a resort development just north of St. Augustine, FL. This is the twelfth year of the Riding into History event. Proceeds of the event go to the Wounded Warrior Project.
The central lake with an encircling sidewalk was the display area for the motorcycles.
Here’s a small sampling of what was on display:
Abingdon King Di*k (nice name,eh!) name censored by forum software.
Allstate
Antique bicycles
BMWs
BMW continued:
Ariel 4 Square
BSAs
Bultaco
Ducati
Harley Davidsons

Henderson
Hodaka
Hondas
A bike like this 350 4 cylinder was my fisrt “new” motorcycle purchase… I should have kept it.
A Honda Cub, in red, was my ride in college:
Indians
Indian
Kawasaki
My first bike ever was a Maico dirt bike. It didn’t look anything like this Maico:
Marsh
Moto Guzzi
Moto Morini
Nimbus
Nortons
NSU
Ossa
Penton
Pierce Arrow
Royal Enfield
Tricati
Triumphs
Anyone know what this one is?
Ural
Velocette
Vincent
Wassells
Whizzer
Yamaha
Yankee
After looking at these beauties until my head nearly exploded, it was a short ride to Flagler Beach for lunch at Snack Jacks on the beach.
Shrimp Tacos
Then a short walk on the beach…
…before we watched these guys sail off into the sunset:

Re: Riding into History 2011
amazing pictures and bikes
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects handlebars to the saddle.

Re: Riding into History 2011
Awesome display of bikes. My Dad lives in Flagler and that may have been his red /2 in your pictures. His friend owns a grey /2 so that may have been his....I'll have to ask him if they were there!
Thanks for sharing!

Wow - what a cool place to be! And topping it off with the beach as well. I would love to attend that some day. Thanks for the post.
I loved these, even without knowing a thing about them!

Re: Riding into History 2011
There may have been. There were too many show quality bikes to see them all, and sometimes it was difficult to get a clear picture of a bike without people blocking the view.Ric wrote:Huh...nice pix....ThX.....

Glad you like the old Whizzer. It's really just a bicycle with a motor, but a lot of fun putting around the neighborhood.
Here I am on a newer version of the Whizzer a few Christmas's ago:

Re: Riding into History 2011
That's great JB! What a fun neighborhood bike. There were really a lot of bikes in that post that I liked. I wish I had kept my first bike (at age 13); a yellow Kawasaki 100.

GypsyRR, We all do!!!! I would even settle for some pictures, but I guess we thought it would never end, we had a lot of "Iron" but nobody owned a camera (and maybe that was a good thing).

Re: Riding into History 2011
But not a single Laverde to be seen around the lake. I was disappointed with that, but there was a good Guzzi turn out.

JB, I think this is a "Ner-a-car".
The picture in the wikipedia entry isn't good, but an image search produces a lot of results.

I like that Whizzer too. The "Nerd-A Car" looks like a big bug.

Re: Riding into History 2011
I remember riding my cousin's beat up rust colored Whizzer when I was 13 or so, on a dirt road around a lake. Handling was terrible! Engine had a lot of flywheel mass and a cool sound (for a young teen's ears). The gearing was pretty tall to, like 2nd gear of any M/C. Pedal to start then let go of the compression release to start the engine. Ahhh . . .the formative years.
