Saw this small but great event mentioned in another post. I plan on riding up from northern VA at least one day.

I am planning on attending this event this event this year. From what I have been told by the Markeys it is a must attend if you are into Japanese motorcycles.

I'll be there too! As per usual, a mess of us Northern Virginian's will be trucking up. I think I'm going to try to enter one or both of the dreams in the show.

Definitely, enter your Benly. Only because you have a very rare color. That plus I have a soft spot for Benlys. Even tho I am getting rid of mine, I still like them.

I've never been. Should I make the 450 mile trip?? Convince me. Smile

I know right?! I love my Benly and everyone who knows anything about them is supremely jealous!
I'm hoping that "my" Yamaha will show up there.... and look awesome..... I sure miss the TX500 but I'm addicted to Dreams!

I'm definitely entering the CA95..... I may only enter that one as my CA77 is not all original..... because it was restored in the 80's, but dang if it's not gorgeous!
Mark, don't bring your Benly down to White Rose..... if you are going to sell it I probably wouldn't be able to resist! haha

Don't feel too bad I am addicted to early 70's hondas. I love my 350 but I am gaining an appreciation for the 500 four. Fast, handles like a smaller bike, and it keeps up with the cars on the highway. Very important when I have to travel halfway across the state for work. Because I am selling my Benly, I have Benly parts for sale. Quite a lot of Benly parts for sale. But they will not go cheap and I definitely do not take trades, unless it is for a Sandcast CB750.

Nobody wants to tell me why I should go to White Rose?

I can just give you a few reasons why I go:

1. Location- At the end of the road in a rural area. Without GPS it is not easy to find but a nice place to drive. A two stroke blasting up the trail seems natural here. Camping on or off the flea market area.

2. Hospitality- The food is good, the restrooms with showers are clean, and everyone is friendly.

3. Atmosphere - No pressure to buy (except when the prices are too good to be true) and everyone is will to share their knowledge. The show on Sunday brings out nice bikes and nice people.

I have mostly been a buyer but was briefly a vendor (see#3) and enjoyed that also.

Welcome to VJMOG. Hope you find the parts you need at White Rose for your CB400.

I go to your hometown to feed some other projects. (mostly chevys) Wink

#4 No pre-tied bandannas.....or assless chaps to sort through..........I'm gonna get a spot and fill it with mostly useless cb350 parts. Stop by and drink a PBR with me ladies and gents!

I won't be able to make the trip this year. Have to deal with a family emergency 92 year old grandmother, has cancer, so have to go make the trip to go see her instead of being a Vendor at White Rose. Definitely, next year, because I will not vend at Rhinebeck, or any other AMCA meet, instead focusing my resources on this particular meet. But I will be at Rhinebeck tho, and a few other AMCA meets. It also gives me the time to focus on my other interest the origins of the Indian motocycle. But I will most likely go vend at Rice-O-Rama and use it to off load a bunch of junk. The quality stuff will continue to be on the yard's website.
