The dates are correct. Portland Indiana is the town and It is July 14-17 2009 at the Jay county Fair Grounds and it is easy to find. It is the 37 Annual Vintage Motor Bike Club. Or (VMBC) as they abbreviate it. They do not have a web site there old fashioned. Remember your out were the Corn and the Rednecks are thick. They have a email address to the secretary at (vmbc.tc@att.net) if that helps anyone. It cost me 25 dollars to join the VMBC at the gate last year for both my wife and myself. And includes the magazine they send to you a couple of times a year and also lets you into the event for the whole time including if you come early. People start to get there four two five days early and set up there campers and vending spots. This year I,m taking my camper and staying at the event from Sunday to Friday. The best thing a bout the Portland show is the riding your able to do. It is in the middle of BFE and you can ride your bike out in the country as far as your gas tank can take you. A lot of guys carried a small tank of gas strapped to there luggage racks if they had one. They have a poker run and last year they rode 20 miles to Small Engine Warehouse and back. Also they have a auction and show bikes for judging. There is also food vender's there. And You can ride your minibikes into town and pick up beer and pizza at the stores. It is cool riding your minibike right past the Portland cops and they just smile and wave to you. You just have to obey the the stop signs and your speed in town same as in your car. This event brings a lot of money into there town I was told buy some locals. So if you come bring your good bikes you will do a lot of riding and that best part of this event you get a dozen or so guys together and see the corn and soybean fields in the Corn belt of the world.
