Hello,

This Saturday is the Vintage Motorcycle Show at the Owls Head Transpotation Museum in Rockland Maine. Sam Cormier and I will be attending and we would like to invite any one from the Northeast that may be reading this on the forum to join us. We can meet up between 9:30-10:00am. It shouldn't be too hard to find us as we're probably the only WD guys there.

See you there!

I've heard of the Owl's head show and would love to attend. I'm in Nova Scotia, maybe next year (then there will be 3 WD guys). Where is Rockland in relation to Portland?

Owl's head is a spectacular transportation museum and their bike show is awesome, worth planning to attend. It's on labor day weekend every year. they coincide it with an airshow of their own vintage aircraft, many from WWI. Rockland is on the coast, north of Portland.

Any of you guys familiar with the story of the first wheeled vehicle to make it to Hudson Bay? It was an Ariel single and sidecar ridden by a Brit from the Isle of Man.
A great story...I have the book covering the (two) trips he made if anyone over there is interested....Ian

Hi Ian, I'm not familiar with that story. How about you Sam? Sounds interesting, any more info? Sam and I had a great day at Owls Head today. Vintage motorcycles and WW1 vintage planes flying over head all day! We saw 1917 Harley driving around making fantastic sounds. There were about 200 vintage motorcycles attending and at noon all of them were started and reved up the engines. Definitely a good time!!! Oh, did I mention lots of dripping oil?

Hi Rick,

There is a distant relation to Jacques, however ther's no chance that I'll be inheriting the Calypso any time soon! We lost the "O" in the name when my ancestors came over from France.
