Justin Jankus - Greenwich Concours D'Elegance - part 1

Justin send me these pics last month.

"A little late to the party but here are some shots I got from the Greenwich Concours D'Elegance on June 1st. Sunday was the European contingent of the beautiful, rare, and thunderous machines from the beginning of the car age to the present. The cars ranged from a bare carbon Pagani Huarya, to a 1-0f-3 Ford that was made as a candidate for Hitler's "People's Car" (losing of course to the Beatle), to a 1927/1928 Triumph motorcycle with original sidecar, complete with 80+ year old oil and grease smattered tank and engine. This is the second year I've attended and there are so many cars and bikes I've never heard of, they put the knowledge I've gained by trolling BringATrailer every day to shame.

It was hot and I always feel slightly out of character among rolling up in my grapefruit-sized-hole-in-my-muffler old Legacy and parking amongst Maseratis, Rolls, and 356 driving well-to-dos in white tennis shorts and canary yellow sweaters tied around their necks, but it is still just a great experience. For everyone of the these Vineyard Vines stockholders, there are 10 guys and gals with a little dirt on their hands and chips in the paint from vigorous gravel redispersal on a rolling New England road. These are the people who will talk to you for hours about their car, or your car, or your bike, not bragging, but talking for the love of all things automotive and mechanical. They make these shows work, they make it worth it past the beautifully shaped metal strewn across the field. True Jalops through and through (I even had an awkward exchange with the one and only Bruce Turk of Jalopnik fame) and the reason why I love this scene so much."

Thank you for the absolutely wonderful pictures Justin! They have a timeless quality that is pulling me in the pictures.  

Justin Jankus - John

Bubble mail:

 

"The other are images of my friend’s shop.  I know him from this organization we both belong to, the Massachusetts British Iron Association, a group of die hard Brit Bike fans.  John has deep appreciation and knowledge of Velocettes and airhead BMWs, enough that crammed into his basement during the winter there are around 19-21 bikes, all in various states of repair.  The coolest new addition is his Velocette Scrambler build which can be seen in the black and white images that I shot with a 4x5 film camera.  As the weather over on the US East Coast convinces itself more and more that is actually spring, I will be headed back to his shop to get some of these absolute beauties into the nice warm sun.  I still have to take photos of his garage which houses two Urals, a lot more airheads, and a few 100cc Hondas he’s building to race each other.  Should be pretty rad!

If nothing I hope you like the photos and thanks again for featuring me!!

Sincerely,

Justin"

 

Thanks Justin, great stuff!

I've featured Justin's pictures before and yesterday he send me some more great pics!

"The “Jimbo” images are of my friend’s rebuild of his CB550 cafe.  He just had everything bead blasted and ported and was fitting larger pistons to get it up to 600cc or thereabouts."

"Hi, my name is Justin Jankus and I've been trolling BubbleVisor for about a year now and have loved the photos and all of the fantastic bikes you've featured.  I wanted to show you some of the photos I have taken, some of the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride that took place in Boston, and a few from a few rides I've done over the past couple of months.  I am trying to document a bit of the custom scene out here in the "Land that Motorcycles Forgot" and would love to share them with you.

I hope you like them, but more than anything, I love reading your blog and hope there is always more to come out of it!"

Thanks Jankus! Nice pics
