Gilmore Vintage Motorcycle Show 2019 (June 2019)

Each year the Gilmore Car Museum puts on a Vintage Motorcycle Show at the museum grounds in Hickory Corners Michigan.   Saturday starts out with a vintage motorcycle ride over 70 some miles of Barry County.  On Sunday is the motorcycle show which features entries from the USA, Japan, England, Germany, Italy, and many other countries.  Several thousand bikes were on display in the general parking lots with some interesting rides to be seen. 

This I attended the Sunday show with a few members of the Goldwing Road Riders Association Chapter V along with two members from Chapter V2.

Here are a few photos of Sunday's show.
