Motorcycle Swap meet Sacramento.
I had been curious about this swapmeet for a few years. Sacramento is a good drive away, but as I said before, these events serve as my primary entertainment. My route would take me past my Son's house, so a couple of days before, I gave him a call and asked if he'd like to join me. He had been storing his and his Wife's bicycles at my house, so I asked if he'd like me to bring them up. He said that would be great, so I loaded them into my truck before leaving.
Thoughts on driving and riding.

I have owned the Plymouth for a little over a year, and I've put approx. 600 miles on it during that time. Although I was familiar with driving manual transmission cars, it takes a while to familiarize myself with the idiosyncrasies of this particular vehicle. Age has given it it's own set of peculiarities and foibles. Besides, it was restored forty years ago, and wear has certainly taken place in the forty years since then.
A week's worth of driving for my Plymouth.

While nostalgia for a time that I never knew, colors my thoughts, I deleted the color from the photographs that I took.
The Plymouth had been sitting in the garage for several months, I thought that now, with better weather, it was time to put a few miles on it.
