Bitter Sweet Year

This is an awesome event, hence the reason why it has been running for 15 years. In 2021, I entered my late mother's Honda Twinstar 200 in the show. It was in showroom condition, but after having sat under a blanket for almost 40 years, needed work. I decided to show it one more time, and then let it go to an interested buyer.

Get a load of this. About four months after I sold it, the collector who purchased it called me up. He got the bike up and running again, just like he said he would. The purpose behind the call? He called to let me know I could have it back. Seriously, he gave the motorcycle back to me. Check it out below - the burgundy Honda TwinStar 200.

I hope to see you at the 2022 Unknown Motorcycle Show. Even if you don't have a bike, you'll enjoy the eye candy. Peruse the photos and videos above, all from past shows, and you'll see what I mean. You can get more info about the Unknown Motorcycle Show on Instagram and Facebook.
