Awesome display of bikes. My Dad lives in Flagler and that may have been his red /2 in your pictures. His friend owns a grey /2 so that may have been his....I'll have to ask him if they were there!
Thanks for sharing!

Wow - what a cool place to be! And topping it off with the beach as well. I would love to attend that some day. Thanks for the post.
I loved these, even without knowing a thing about them!

There may have been. There were too many show quality bikes to see them all, and sometimes it was difficult to get a clear picture of a bike without people blocking the view.

Gypsy,
Glad you like the old Whizzer. It's really just a bicycle with a motor, but a lot of fun putting around the neighborhood.
Here I am on a newer version of the Whizzer a few Christmas's ago:

That's great JB! What a fun neighborhood bike. There were really a lot of bikes in that post that I liked. I wish I had kept my first bike (at age 13); a yellow Kawasaki 100.

GypsyRR, We all do!!!! I would even settle for some pictures, but I guess we thought it would never end, we had a lot of "Iron" but nobody owned a camera (and maybe that was a good thing). JB, Thanks for the post, I really enjoyed it, mnn

But not a single Laverde to be seen around the lake. I was disappointed with that, but there was a good Guzzi turn out.

JB, I think this is a "Ner-a-car".
The picture in the wikipedia entry isn't good, but an image search produces a lot of results.

I like that Whizzer too. The "Nerd-A Car" looks like a big bug.

I remember riding my cousin's beat up rust colored Whizzer when I was 13 or so, on a dirt road around a lake. Handling was terrible! Engine had a lot of flywheel mass and a cool sound (for a young teen's ears). The gearing was pretty tall to, like 2nd gear of any M/C. Pedal to start then let go of the compression release to start the engine. Ahhh . . .the formative years.
