Antique Motorcycles: Harley, Indian, Norton, Ossa and a couple other 2 wheelers, specifically Schwinn.  Take a look at the recent Antique Motorcyle show at Denton Farmpark, in rural Davidson County, NC.  This was the 5th Annual show sponsored by the AMCA, Southern National Meet.

The theme for the event was: A Race Back in Time.
