Vintage Motorcycle Days 2008 Photos 2

By Paul Crowe

Zundapp

After posting some photos yesterday of the motorcycles assembled at Mid Ohio for Vintage Days, several commenters posted links to other sites with many more photos, so I’ll leave those links and just post a few more photos here, in response to questions and a random selection of several more.

The important point here is that there is no way to see all of the bikes that were there from website photos, there are simply far too many and you miss all of the details. You could spend hours just in the paddock looking at old Indians, Manx Nortons or whatever else you might be interested in. Going there yourself is well worth your time.

This is the Zundapp one commenter was asking about, along with the photo above.

Don Castro's Triumph Flat Tracker
This is Don Castro’s flat tracker. It’s restored to the way it was for the 1972 San Jose half mile with the fiberglass bodywork the AMA banned for “slipstreaming.” Personally, I think the seat is pretty interesting. Wow!

    Wow. The Duc and the Beemer custom café job are my two favourites out of that group.

    What the heck is up with the air intakes on the Zundapp? That setup almost looks like it’s begging for a supercharger, though I don’t think an intercooler would be possible.

    I am in love with that Zundapp. Thank you guys for letting me know what it was. Now all I need to know is where I can get one. I love that boxer look. Maybe I should build my own?

    That Kwak is awesome.

    I’m so ashamed that California doesn’t have shows like the Mid-Ohio.

    Chris, the air intakes on that Zundapp go into the airbox, which is indeed on top of the engine on these, just like BMWs of similar layout. Convoluted, yes, but proven effective.

    Todd, you do have the Monterey Historics. Not quite as grassroots as VMD, but still a heckuva show.
