Harley Davidson on a Crane
Many years ago, I videotaped an interesting event. It was in 1993, specifically October 30. I was awakened by the excessive noise of heavy machinery and looking out my window I saw a crane setting up in front of my apartment building. A crowd of people had gathered, and parked next to the crane was a vintage pickup truck and a Harley Davidson motorcycle. They seemed to be in the process of preparing to hoist the Harley to the 3rd storey balcony of the apartment building facing my window. I immediately got out my video camera and began filming. The event seemed quite surreal. Who does that? and why?
In the days following the event, I heard a story that was apparently published in a local newspaper. The story goes as follows: as part of the sales agreement, the vendor of the Harley Davidson motorcycle agreed to deliver said Harley to the living room of the buyer. The buyer however, lived on the third storey of an apartment complex. I was never able to verify the validity of the story, but I did witness a Harley Davidson motorcycle being delivered by crane through a 3rd storey balcony window! Funtastic!
For many years I could not locate this footage. In 93, we used 8mm video tapes to record and to view these tapes today is quite difficult since there aren’t any players left to play them on. Each tape contained 1 to 2 hours of footage, and finding a small segment meant going through hours of tape, then the footage needs to be digitized. Quite a bit of time consuming work. Fortunately, while searching for some other “lost” footage, I stumbled upon this one.
Spring is upon us once again, and with that we begin the bike season! As tradition, the Bike and Tattoo show in Laval Quebec kicked off the season with a great show!
I went to the Bike and Tattoo show held in Laval last weekend. While filming, or should I say trying to film the pole dancing show, the photographer in front of me was kinda obstructing the view. I understand he wants to have the best shot, but when this happened, I have to admit it made me laugh. No one was hurt, other than all the other photographers’ shots, so I couldn’t resist but to post it…

Once again we have reached that time of the year where the snow and ice melts and the days get warmer. With the coming of spring come the motorcycles! The Bike and tattoo show is a great place to check out and photograph some dream bikes. Judging by the number of photographers taking pics, I’d say I’m not the only one. There were plenty of live photo shoots taking place. There’s just so much going on that there is an overload of the senses! On the tattoo side, you hear that hum of the tattoo guns buzzing throughout the room. It is quite the sound! note:I have to admit that I challenge myself to use only natural light when taking pics. I did not take a single shot using a flash!!

Below is a short video I made at the bike show, which took place at palais de congres in Montreal
This show has become a tradition for me, and judging by the turnout on Saturday night, it would seem that many bikers feel as I do. This year the weather was beautiful, perfect for kicking off bike season. Many took advantage of the weather and went by bike, so not only were there many bikes to gawk at inside but also in the parking lot. A very welcoming sight. Inside, the venue was packed. Bikes, cars, tattoo artists, music, body painting! You can’t go wrong with this show! Sensory overload! You don’t know where to look first. Or when to look away…
One great big party!!
I recently stumbled upon some pics that I took at the Classic Bike and Tattoo Show back in 2013. I chose my favorites
and put them in a slide show with some music.
