I had a great time at the East Coast Rally, but was a little bummed about the turnout not being as strong as I thought it would be. Still, we had an interesting array of bikes, including a Garelli Moped and a vintage Honda C102 (Honda 50). The weather was glorious, and the company of fellow enthusiasts was outstanding. An interesting development was that only two 2-stroke bikes were present at the event. All the others were 4-strokes.
We were able to store bikes in the restored WWII Coastal Artillery Battery (Battery 519) at Fort Miles (the entire park was Fort Miles during WWII), and on Sunday morning I treated some of our group to the "nickel tour" of the facility.
On Saturday we took a ride into Lewes and stopped at the Irish Eyes Pub and Restaurant for lunch. While we were inside (actually on the deck) a bunch of Harley riders came up and parked with our bikes. They spent a fair amount of time looking them over, then came out to watch us when we fired ours up to leave after lunch. On Saturday afternoon Jay led a group of riders (actually the majority of the group) on a ride to Rehoboth and back. Only a few of us stayed behind (myself included) to keep an eye on "Rally Central". Below I have posted a bunch of photos from the event. Enjoy!

A few more photos
While Jay led the small army of riders to Rehoboth (nine miles away) I grabbed a camera and headed north to "The Point". This is literally the tip of Cape Henlopen, where the Delaware Bay meets the ocean. In the first photo you will see the vehicles of surf fishermen on the point. The second photo shows how clear the skies were. That is Cape May, New Jersey you see in the distance. Cape May is fifteen miles away, across the mouth of the bay. Next is a lighthouse and jetty on the bay side of The Point. The next shot is of the Cape May - Lewes Ferry on its way into Lewes, while the last shot is of the breakers hitting the beach on the ocean side of The Point.

The party begins
Here are some shots of some of us preparing to leave the park to go to the Red Mill Inn, where most of us were staying. One of the best parts of the event is the party we have on Saturday night at the motel. Pity I didn't take the camera to the party...
