Hilltop Farm Car and Motorcycle Show.

The Hilltop farm in Suffield had their 2nd annual car and motorcycle show a few weekends ago. This farm is special to Indian motorcycles as this farm was once owned by Indian motorcycle founder George Hendee. It was an absolute beautiful day for the show. There was pretty good turnout for both cars and motorcycles. Fellow 101 association member Rockwell Rookey was there with his 1929 101 scout (beautiful bike Rock!) and there was also a 1913 Indian single that was all original. Not sure who that one belonged to. Other than those there was a modern Indian Chieftain dark horse. All in all Indian had an ok showing. There were some beautifully restored cars also in attendance. If anyone is in the area next year I recommend stopping by. There is also a nice creamery on sight with some pretty tasty ice cream. 🙂

This would be the first time showing the bike at an event. I knew I was going to want to have a popup, chairs and a cooler there with me so unfortunately I was going to have to trailer the bike. Due to a few last min weekend plan changes, my girlfriend ended up free that morning to drive the suv with those things and I was able to ride the bike to the event! It was a gorgeous ride through Suffield to the farm. When I rode up on the bike I turned some heads and more than a few people expressed surprise that I rode it there instead of trailering it. I did this to have a bike I would ride. I never wanted a trailer queen. Lots of people stoped by to see the bike and it was allot of fun talking about it and the restoration process. Here are a few pictures from the event. Oh, I almost forgot. My bike won best of show for the motorcycles!
