200 Sportsman Club Webster MA Sep 7th 2008

Photographs taken by Vintage Focus

2008 was the 2nd year for the Rice-O-Rama Vintage and Custom Japanese Motorcycle Meet. This meet has quickly become a major meet for Japanese motorcycles in the New England area. In 2008 it was held at the 200 Sportsman Club at 184 Sutton Road in Webster MA on Sunday September 7th. There was a judged competition of vintage and custom bikes. The bikes were arranged indoors although the weather was not a problem. There were enough vendors on the grounds outdoors selling bikes and parts to require a fair amount of time to properly inspect. It is nice to see a meet hit the spot like this one does. More details and the schedule for next year is at www.rice-o-rama.com.

The ride from Cornish NH to Webster MA was around 150 miles each way. I left early in the morning to get to the Rice-O-Rama Meet at a reasonable hour. I rode my 1973 Honda CB350F. I took back roads going down so had a very nice ride. I headed for home early enough in the afternoon so it was still light when I got home. I stopped by the St Gaudens National Historic Site near my house and took a photograph in the setting sun. While at the meet I took over 1900 photos. A CD of all photos in 1280x960 jpg format is available for $10 including shipping anywhere in the world (CD 08_12).
