Great pics - Thanks!

Anybody recognize the old Brit single in the bottom photo ? It's hard to tell looking at the primary side (with awesome belt drive). I've owned several of those lungers but I can't identify the plunger rear suspension. Of course it could be aftermarket but why would you do that?

Anyway, likey mucho...

Mods and Rockers gets better every year in Chicago. This year's bash was the best. Lots of cool bikes, not a ton of scoots though. The Triumph stunt show was really good too. The weather held out for most of the show thankfully !

We took the bikes to the Friday night festivities but took my brother's car to the Saturday show. He won the Hot Rod Car class trophy BTW if you saw this car there. Lots of pin-up models doing photo shoots with it. Sorry I know its a car, but I have to brag, he earned it. I didn't think the MV guys would mind a few pics.

Thanks for posting up the images. Since I can't seem to get to any of these things (hopeful about the M's vs. R's in Dallas next year) it's nice to see what went on!

Wow you were there late. I left just before 5 I was parked between the two scoots in the 2nd pic. I will post some more pics latter. Did you stay for the show? I went home to cook out.

More pics
Pretty sad turn out for scoots. IMO the name should probably be changed to something more fitting to the event since it really has been evolving over the past years. I mean now they have added cars. Don't get me wrong it was cool to see all the different rides just not sure that Mods VS Rockers really describes the event.

Thanks Plasmax23 for the great pics and thanks for showing the timing side of the old single. Answered my question - I see it's a B31 or B33 Beezer (early 50's from the plunger rear suspension) ...Beauty ...

Thanks AC1530 for the OP and great pics . Didn't mean to exclude you from my reply - somehow it didn't make the trip from the keyboard to the post (possibly due to operator error). 'Preciate ya...
