They're still very much around.

Although it does appear that the smaller 350 isn't available in the US any more

I am aware that Royal Enfield's are still made in India. I think that the BSA M20 (or some variant thereof) was built in India post-independence for the Indian Army. I believe this may have been the case because a lot of "restored" M20s seem to come out of India. There is one such bike currently advertised in the UK magazine "Classic Bike".

Anyhow, I could very well be wrong; although I'm really into British cars, I'm not much of a motorcycle guy.

Great pictures Ern, as ever. Cheers for posting them.

Too many projects right now to justify purchasing another bike but in the future maybe. Right now I just like to look at the old service bikes and dream of one day when i can afford to pick up and restore something older than the 60's.

It was a picture perfect day both Sat & Sun. Sandy and I had come from TN and were only there on Saturday, Sunday was the day we had to continue on north to PA. I hope it's a picture perfect day in Latrobe when we'll get to meet.

Three new memberships were received.

Santa Wally and wife Sandy dropped by next. SW and Sandy also traveled out of state (PA) to be with us.

It was a beautiful day on Saturday. Sandy and I were there only on Sat. We were there with the Clan Wallace tent. Sunday was the day we continued on our way north to northern PA. I thanked Ern for posting the dates and link for the VA Games on X Marks early. We were able to plan our trip back north from TN via a stop the VA Games. I had met Ern for the first time at Grandfather Mtn Games this year when I was there on Sunday. I have always enjoyed his photo postings. Another get series of photos and captions this time. Thanks Ern.

Since the Clan Wallace Society was involved with the polo match there at the Games on Sat evening, providing the shirts for team "SCOTLAND", Sandy and I attended the "Twilight Polo" matches. There were a number of us kilted gentlemen who were there at the arena polo match receiving lots of complements as we all cheered for our team Scotland. A perfect ending to our day at the VA Scottish Games, our first time at these games. The good Lord willing, we'll be back.

What can I say but wonderful pictures.

I wish I could've been there. I'll definately try to make it next year.
