November 25, 2007 - Hopewell, NJ
It started out cold around 29 degrees but warmed up a bit to near 40. The skies were clear and the Polar Bears came from every direction to fill all available parking around the Hillbilly Hall (last year called Mignella's).
 |
| The place has changed names and owners. |
 |
| I arrived early to find three scooters, one triked with a Voyager kit. |
 |
| Yellow sort of attracts the eye. |
 |
| The King rocks on.
|
 |
| New member Barbara (Blondie) also rocks with her Santa helmet and pillion Santa.
|
 |
| Wonder of wonders! I arrived before Chairman Bob and his sign-in staff. |
 |
| The back lot is starting to fill. |

 |
| Getting into the parking lot was a little slow today. |
 |
| Some pulled down the street, turned around and headed for the grassy areas. |
 |
| Santa pulled into the grassy area in this video, then pulled back into the street to park. |
 |
| I think I found the place! |
 |
| Leo arrives in this video, parks up front, and surveys the crowd. |
 |
| Lots of fun on that gravel back lot. |
Video: In the back nestled among all the bikes I found the Music Man.
 |
I received a request to take a picture of the painting on the back of this bike. The owner is leaving but will stop to let me take the picture out of the sun. |
 |
| Thanks for your request. |

This is an 8-Ball Shifter. The owner told me via email: "It isn't for show. It's used to GO!
It's custom, works great and, is mainly used for (Right Handed) downshifting.
Why you may ask? In short... A spinal cord injury left me with a 'drop foot.'"
|
 |
| There was a certain amount of mass confusion as riders tried to enter and leave simultaneously. |
