Greenpoint, located in the north west corner of Brooklyn, is a thriving community with a rich mixture of cultures, backgrounds, old neighborhoods with a new revitalization. Within the last 10 years, Greenpoint has become a hotbed for block parties, free concerts, art shows and rallys. Combine all of these elements and inject a healthy fix of vintage motorcycles and you have the 8th annual NYVM show aka Velocity, hosted by Works Engineering on N 14th street.
We arrived early to shoot some video for an upcoming project that John Lawless o
f My Classic Motorcycles is working on. I don't want to blow up his spot, so check his
blog for details.
The show is really a block party for vintage bike enthusiasts. Free music, free beer, friendly vibes and lots of bikes!
*I gotta run to work, so for now here are some pictures I snapped on my iPhone. More coming shortly so check back for updates.
