Killarney Motor Show

Morning, morning

Yesterday I have exhibited my vintage Harley at the Killarney Motor Show.  There must have been in the region of 6,000 cars, motorcycles, tractors, military vehicles, etc. on display at the show.

I was supposed to display the Harley with the Cape Vintage Motorcycle Club in the pit area of the race track, but was waylaid at the entrance gate (I got there at about 7:00) and was told to rather display the Harley with the Military Vehicles.

Here is a photo of the display.

The exhibit actually drew a lot of attention during the day.  And I got roasted in the sun - I did not plan to spend most of the day in the sun, as the CVMC display was under cover. 

During the course of the day a couple of people wanted their photos taken on the Harley.  I have included a couple of photos of particular interest to me in this post:

• The one is a photo of someone wearing a SAUDF uniform as worn in South Africa during training and then in combat in Europe (South African soldiers were also involved in the Italy Campaign in 1944 and 1945);
• The other photo is of my soon-to-be Daughter-in-Law (they are getting married in January 2017). 

Note: The SAUDF uniform in North Africa was a desert Khaki colour and of a lighter material .
