Thanks Larry,
I posted it because I understand that most old bike collectors like and/or have several different makes.  Some of the bikes at this show were actually 100 point restorations.  As you can see, a record number of entry's and trophies were awarded.  Take a look at the other shows from previous years on this same website.  Mike

Mike in one of the pics there is an orange bike next to a servicycle, I can't see much of it it looks like a benelli sprite with the California package . Do you know I had 2 years ago , but it seems to me like the forks were different then the bike pictured

It is a 1968 Mojave 200.  See the picture for vintage american 3rd place.  Very nice bike.  I had never seen or heard of it until this show.  Mike

Yeah, now I seen it interesting that tank rear fender and seat are identical to the ones I had on one of my 250 benelli sprite it was a 66 , however that is otherwise a completely different machine
