CVMG Rally Burford

I'm looking forward to it. I've gone since it was at the Welland MC site.

It's always been a nice ride, though sprawl has made it less so over the years.

Paris was a great location, and I'm sure Burford will be too.
 
Except for 2 years due to the "Covid-19" episode the CVMG Annual Vintage Motorcycle Rally has been held every year since the first one in 1973.
This is the "52nd".
"2-strokes" are the "marque of the year" but I will bring the same bike I brought to the first CVMG Rally in 1973.
 
I'm going with my son and granddaughter.

Going to look for parts for my Kawasaki triple restores. Maybe find another project triple?????

Should be fun!!

I sometimes have that problem as well. In the case of the CVMG rally, she now remembers to ask me first about "that Saturday in June", and to make plans accordingly.

I had Blue Mountains Cider festival in the calendar. She looked at calendar and booked a bunch of people for dinner. No cider festival for me.
 
Very impressed with the venue in Burford. Good time looking at all the 2 smokers, shook hands with Speedy (ouch).
They have to do something about parking or they won’t be back. Residents were NOT happy.
 
Every lawn with multiple "No Parking" signs referring to Burford city by-laws?? Bunch of old entitled folks. Bring them for one week to Mississauga or Brampton to see what street parking from hell really is.
I think the whole swap meet event is on the downhill slope. Backs of most vendors are rustier than the bits they are trying to sell. Once they are gone, I don't see anyone from the younger generation sitting there trying to sell some old sprockets.

It was a good event and a nice venue, and yeah they really need to sort the parking and use more of the fair grounds. Perhaps the parking could be done through the first entrance to the site.

It seemed busier than recent years on Saturday, so perhaps the change in venue brought more people than usual.

As for the little no parking signs, I expect it was done for safety in keeping the road accessible by emergency vehicles as opposed to "old entitled folks". At the same time the people who live there are as entitled to quiet enjoyment of their properties as anybody else so even if it wasn't safety related I don't have a problem with it.

Parking should be done like Dover or big golf tournaments.Rent a farmers field nearby to park in and ferry people to and from the site in school buses.Except for accessible parking,which should be onsite.B has a permit,but we were told they only had a few spots.All taken early.
I would be surprised if Burford has the event next year.The next town council meeting will be fun!
 
Just got back from NL and sadly missed the first year of Burfurd.

The remote parking for cars and trucks is a good idea. We went to the Maple festival in Warkworth back in March and that's how they did it as there wasn't enough parking available at the sugarbush.

I hope they can sort it out with the community. I didn't see any frayed nerves or anything, but it did make the road heading to the fairgrounds pretty busy and probably too busy.
