Above left,  a "Whizzer"  a motor assisted balloon tired bike.  You could pedal it, or, once you got it up to speed, the motor kicked in, consider it one of the original mo-peds.   On the right, a custom  1928 Ford Sedan. Just two of the many different types of vehicles at the annual Father’s Day Show and Shine in Downtown Prince George.                                                  

Organizers say there  were more vehicle registrations this year, about  50 more than last, pushing the number to  350.  Certainly there was a  great history of the motorcycle presented with  the Harley 45, (at left)  the workhorse of the Second World War ( notice the gear shift on the side of the tank) and at right, a more modern  motorcycle with a fabulous  flare of flames.                                                         

                                                           

                                                      

                                                        

                                                      

                                                       

                                                         

There some very different vehicles on display this year, including the  1965 "Moto Ski" snow machine  shown below left, and  a Ford Tractor, shown below right!
