Universal Cycle in Calgary is holding an estate sale for Ray Wooly Lamb and his large collection of motorcycles. This sale is a big one with several segments of the sale occurring as the bikes are sold and new ones moved in for sale. Keep tuned to the Universal Cycle facebook page for more bikes.
Not much to report for November and December as we all go through the Parked Motorcycle blues. For those who have the time and greenbacks to head south for a ride, we send our jealousy along for the ride.
The next big event for us is the Calgary Motorcycle Show Jan 6 – 8, 2012
Take the time to view the vintage bikes on display from the Rocky Mountain Motorcycle Section of the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group. We are proud to be an integral part of the Calgary Motorcycle Show.
Some of these bikes have been restored and built from the greasy parts that the owners found at the Millarville Motorcycle parts Swap Meet. The R.M.S. promotes the Swap Meet which will be the TENTH ANNUAL on Sept 9, 2012.
As always, you can count on a great selection of local Vintage Iron to keep your heart pounding till spring. The R.M.S. will be looking for new members while at the show. Only 35.00 to join for the year.

Like this almost new out of the box 1985 1000 C.C. Honda Intercepter that graced the lot for us to view. It had 800 KM (500 Mi) on it when the new owner convinced someone to part with it.

We had a beautiful day on Saturday Sept 11, 2011 to have our Ninth annual Millarville Swap Meet. Temps were in the 25C or so range with lots of sun.
Over 600 people went through the gates to view the 58 vendors on site. 36 motorcycles were on view for sale and many found new owners. From dirt bikes, retro, vintage and cruiser. It was all there. An impressive amount of British, European, and American parts and bikes could be found there. Some of the shops had tables there, including Cycle Works Victory, Yale Customs, The Old Bike Shop, Power Sport Seats and more.
Check it out
A new Victory awaiting a rider.
The hall was full of vendors and buyers
The parking lot was full of eye candy as well

With one of the best Sept. forecasts in years, we can expect a great turn out for Bike Night. Our bike nights have proven to be versatile with many different styles of bikes and makes on hand.

This year seams to be one of those riding seasons that you have to take advantage of any window to ride between the rain and storms. Saturday was one of those days with somewhat cooler than normal temperatures but livable.
We started out with a dozen or so bikes that rode to Cochrane and grew along the way. A nice selection of Old Iron and dress to make it quite an enjoyable day.
