The return to the neighborhood
21/10/2018
My neighborhood was like that, like that, like that.
I mean, what do I know if it was like that?
But I remember that!
Last long weekend was held at the Hipódromo de San Isidro the most awaited event by all the producers of Latin America: AutoClásica.
In which there were many major car events, such as the Land Rover's 70-year history, the XII International MINIS Club Meeting or the 70th anniversary of the Porsche sports car. But for those who love to ride on two wheels was the Motorcycle District. That place you always want to come back to.
In this eighteenth edition, the neighborhood showed a very special splendor. Past and future shared soil, as one of the most representative motorcycle brands celebrated its 115th anniversary. We refer to Harley-Davidson, and did so by presenting the Ultra Limited specially designed to commemorate the 115th anniversary of Harley-Davidson. Of which two limited edition serial designs were manufactured, in nine different models and with an eagle from the "115th Anniversary". This Touring model is characterized by its "Legend Blue" and "Vivid Black" colors, which, through a honeycomb enamel, proudly carries in its 22.7-liter tank, an imposing eagle holding the Harley-Davidson shield with its claws. It also features the powerful new 1.745 cc Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine, which retains the iconic 45-degree V-Twin cylinder angle.
The other novelty coming from Milwaukee was the new member of the Trike family: the Freewheeler. This imposing three-wheeled beast has 1,868 cc, a tank for 22.7 liters of fuel, weighs about 500 kilos and costs around U $ 59,000.
But if there is something that Harley's history understands is that to know where you're going, you have to know where you're coming from, that's why at your stand we found a Harley-Davidson J. Board Track from the 20s, with 2 cylinders and 1,000 cc. perfectly restored and functioning. And a Harley-Davidson 45 TWIN from 1947, original 2-cylinder and 745cc, with
original accessories purchased and installed when it was still 0 km; which was awarded in the "Best of Show" with the first place in the post-war American category.
To complete the birthday celebrations, there was no shortage of Harley's black balloons and balloons, which there was no child who did not have one in hand, in addition to the application of temporary tattoos for which a large line of small enthusiasts could be seen. .
Also present was the recent arrival in the country Royal Enfield, where you could see all the models available in our country, including the exclusive limited edition Pegasus Classic 500 (read our note), of which 30 units entered the country, and only 7 remain
In these 235 square meters, you could find the most important motorcycle clubs in the country, such as the Norton Club, which had impressive perfectly preserved Norton, or the fun Club of Motorcycles Spicy, which in addition to some notable Gilera and
of a beautiful Piaggio Vespa with sidecar, had some splendid drawings made by Facu Mariño. There were also the friends of Retro Motos, the Classic Club, and the Club Motos Pumas, of which one of their PUMA Second Series of 98 cc of the decade of the 60, won the second prize in the National Production category.
One of the stands that stood out in the whole neighborhood was the Mazza Performance Cycles, which with its modified bikes to the extreme, gave the note of color and invited us to the Kustom Art 9, which will take
held on November 17 and 18 at the Miguelete Center (Av. Rodríguez Peña 2704).
Nobleza forces to send a greeting to the people of Cerveza Kunstman, who won the award for Best Commercial Stand and where we participated in the game of the hammer and won an exquisite hand painted.
The sun was setting in the twilight of the fourth and last day. The attendees (who added 48.00 in total) were withdrawing from this wonderful event, with a smile on their faces and as the lights were turning on, the stars on the corner of my old house, twinkling as if they were friendly hands , they said: Fat, fat, stay here.
