Connecticut Antique Machinery Association

As indicated in the title this was the first Strictly Engine show at CAMA. The spring and fall shows are wide open but the Association decided that since they were originally an engine groups they would go back to the roots and have an engine show. Pretty good turnout for a first time and I am sure that the event will grow over the coming years.

This motorcycle was the first thing I photographed after getting out of the car. I thought is was all chromed but chatting with the owner just before we left the grounds I learned that it is all polished! Remarkable! Sadly this bike and a Triumph left a few moments before we did and did not make it but maybe 100 yards when this beautiful machine apparently skidded on the dirt/gravel roadway and went down. We proceeded on our way after a volunteer paramedic arrived to care for the rider. Our prayers and best wishes are with him for a speedy recovery. When he gets back up to speed I hope that he is able to left me know that he is well.

If you see your exhibit or machine and would care to drop me a line or two, or even a paragraph, about it I will be delighted to add your comments to this page. Please send to webmaster@neme-s.org To identify a photo just hover your cursor over the photo and a tag should pop up. Please use the last three digits of the tag to identify the photo. For example if the tag came up DSC03974.jpg (205067 bytes) the info I would need is 976.jpg. If this is a multi page unit the page number would also be useful.
