It has now been a regular feature on the calendar each August and this years featured marque is Ducati.

The motorcycles featured in this temporary collection were later transported to nearby Malvern, PA for the Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance for judging at the anuual event at the Radnor Hunt Club. Details on that event can be found at http://www.radnorconcours.org/ The featured marque was Harley-Davidson and featured a special collection of competition assorted machines. Special guest judges were AMA Hall of Fame member Ed Fisher and his son Gary Fisher, both winners of AMA Nationals at Laconia, New Hampshire.
