Another fantastic show at Martin Motosports in Boyertown PA

Quite a few unique bikes including an Islo. I was taking with the chairman of the committee that selected the cycles for the show and the owner of the Islo asked if they would be interested in showing his Islo. The guy said they needed more info. Nobody on the committee ever heard of them. Turned out they made exactly FOUR of that model and only two survived. I guess that's pretty rare :lol:

Here's my pics from the show, enjoy

Some of the bike descriptions were off............rotary valve Ossa? Not to mention the ELR confusion with the Superbike replica.

I'm not sure the bloke who wrote that really knows what is going on alltogether as he also describes his MZ as being disc valved, his MV having an optical horn and single sided swinging arm, and also suggesting Sammy Miller rode a Bultaco MX bike when he was actually a trials rider :roll:

All are really nice and interesting bikes though.
