The Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club (VJMC) is a pretty familiar fixture at
most vintage motorcycle meets. From around 1965 on the Japanese makes have been
the dominant brands sold so there are more vintage Japanese bikes than any other
kind. VJMC is an active club with a very nice bimonthly magazine.
In each region of the country local members host smaller meets that are
fun to attend. On Sunday August 13th Stuart and Elizabeth Convington who live
in Lunenburg MA invited VJMC members to their home for their 2nd annual BBQ.
Stuart has quite a collection of vintage Hondas and he had them set out for
easy viewing. A good crowd arrived (mostly by bike) and everyone had a good
time checking out the bikes and eating some great food.
I set out for Lunenburg MA early Sunday morning from my home in Cornish NH on
my 1988 Suzuki GN400. It is a very reliable bike that usually gets 70+ mpg
even at highway speeds. The ride was about 90 miles along scenic roads. The
majority of the bikes I photographed were Hondas because of Stuart's large
collection but there was a good showing for other Japanese makes too.
