2013 Boca Concours d'Elegance

Got invited to this shindig. It was on the last Sunday of February at the Boca Raton Resort. Rich and I rode up - me on the Ranger and Rich on his T140 Triton.

There were about 200 cars there, ranging from a '67 Volkswagen Beetle to a '31 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Aprile (original 6C, crashed in '37, rebodied by Zagato for Mr Aprile in '38). There were also 50 bikes, the largest contingent being English. I co-won the '66-'75 English class along with a stunning Hurricane. Got a Tiffany crystal platter:

Short guy next to me is the guy who sold me the G15 on behalf of the owner. The Ranger is peeking out over his shoulder. The guy in the loud jacket is Rick Case, a billionaire car/motorcycle dealer who sponsored the event.

Below are pics of the show, but the only motorcycle pic so far is the guy who won best of show with his '35 4-valve Bullet.

Once the official photographer posts up his stuff, I'll give the link.

Pretty cool, but you do look a little out of place

Not surprising you won, as nice as your bike is.

Now you have a nice crystal plate to catch oil drips with :lol:

Like the Alfa.

Yeah, it was really something. I guess if you're gonna buy a wrecked race car, having somebody like Zagato re-body it is the way to go. :wink:

A well-earned congratulations.

Pretty dang upscale...

We're not worthy to hob nob in that crowd BillT, so good on you earning the limelight in a T-shirt among the expensive suits. Ah the gleam of polished chrome motorsport parts among the silver ware and cut lead crystal laid out in full sun light affairs.

There may be a few members here worthy of attending such "blue blood" event,
but....... I'm sure not one of them.
to me,
Concours d'Elegance = Wine and Cheese
Bike show = Burgers and Beer

what would I wear?
I'm not sure that I even have a pair of jean without oil stains on them.
