Last night was the "Kick-Start" party for the two week Classic Motorcycle Show at the Simeone Automotive Museum in Philadelphia PA. Includes about 30 Nortons, including a JPN, and 3 Manx's they also have about 10 flat trackes on display as well. Oh and the regular exhibition of some of the most unbeleivable competition cars from Duesenbughrs, Ferraris, Aston Martins, Gran Sport Corvettes, Shelby Daytona coups, etc. here's a few examples of the bikes. Most of these bikes will be moving to the Radnor Hunt Concourse on Sept. 8th.

Re: 2013 Classic Motorcycles at the Simeone Automotive Museu

I was there Saturday night as well and enjoyed the motorcycles as well as meeting many of the folks. The food was terrible.
I spoke with Cook Neilson for a bit having been introduced to him by Charlie Ingersoll who had a 1968 red Atlas on display. I was surprised to find out that Cook had been in the same Guard unit as I was although he was in a bit before I was. He had lost his student deferment having been suspended from Princeton for having a motorcycle on campus, hidden in the basement of his eating club.
I also had the chance to speak with Nobby Clark who was there as well along with several folks who came up from the Barber Museum in Birmingham Alabama.
They fired up three of the Nortons including the old doll in the pictures as well as the Manx. I was very glad I went.
I will be at Radnor as well.

John Lawless does a wonderful job of organizing these Bike events at Simeone. Next year , I believe, the machines featured will be Vincent and Brough.
