| Brit bikes were among the dazzling variety of vintage motorcycles. |
A brief rain shower gave way to clear skies and terrific classic motorcycles on display at the 2024 Dania Beach Vintage Motorcycle Show in Dania Beach, Florida Jan. 27.
Once again, my 1999 Royal Enfield Bullet was the only Royal Enfield I spotted at the show, and it was in the parking lot.
"Never seen one of those before. Where is it from?" a fellow parking a Harley-Davidson asked me before I could get my helmet off.
It's always gratifying when other riders show an interest, but less gratifying was his next comment: that my Enfield needs cleaning! (And he's not wrong.)
But on to the photos,
 |
| Crowd loved 1920 Clyno two-stroke, which started with only a gentle push forward. 269cc with two-speeds and clutch built into the drive belt pulley. |
 |
| 1939 Vincent-HRD Comet in jewel-like condition. |
 |
| The 1939 Vincent-HRD Comet really stands out. |
 |
| Gleaming brightwork on 1964 BSA clubman. |
 |
| Triumph's wildly successful 1977 Silver Jubilee special. |
 |
| ...and the motorcycle even came with a certificate. |
 |
| Stripped down Triumph hardtail custom was a treat for the eyes. |
 |
| Note how horn, crankcase and gearbox modesty panel pick up the horizontal lines of the motor on Triumph hardtail custom. |
 |
| Even the headlamp of Triumph custom has horizontal lines. |
 |
| Norton girl introduces 1973 850 Commando. |
 |
| 1973 Norton Commando 850 reflects on itself. |
 |
| 1928 Indian Scout with period top box. |
 |
| Streamlined figurehead on 1928 Indian Scout fender. |
 |
| Onlookers agreed 1914 Excelsior should remain in "as found" condition. |
 |
| Excelsior was in the swap meet section of the show. |
 |
| Futuristic 1972 MZ ES 150/1 had swing arm suspension front and rear, massive fenders with no stays. |
 |
| MZ fuel cap boasts of the marque's victories right in the rider's vision; very clever marketing. |
 |
| Dania show also features bicycles and no, I did not have one like this when I was a boy. |
 |
| I love gimmicks like this bicycle handlebar airplane. |
 |
| From what do choppers need saving? What more could be done to them than already has? |
 |
| Not everyone comes to the motorcycle show on a motorcycle. |
