mmmm Breakfast. I am fasting right now in anticipation! Got a seat for "Naked and Afraid" bike so it is completely ridable, although I am looking for a better period correct one. and YES Dan, wads of cash and early arrival are GUARANTEED! :dance2::rockout:

I thought you had heard something about it maybe not happening. There has not been a ton of promotion for this swap so I would not have been surprised if you did hear it was cancelled. Trucks loaded...see y'all in the morning!
 
Just got back from the show, not bad but a little smaller to me than at Monson. Only took a few pics. It was good to see everyone! :thumbsup: Thanks again ZygoteLittle for the wheel. I already mounted a tire on it to see what it will look like! :rofl:







The winner of the D&S award! :banana:
 
Great to see all the "usual suspects" today. I sold a few things, bought a couple of things and actually managed to come home with some money in my pocket. I didn't take any pics there but did snap a couple pictures of my new acquisitions when I got them home-


 
Nice finds, Brian. That Colson was the first bike that caught my eye when walking in.
 
That was fun. Thanks for the D&S award Nick. Looking forward to adding to it, and bequeathing it to someone else next year.

I bought 3 sets of bars, a Sugino crank and chainring (I think they look good on vintage bikes), and a brand new roll top waterproof pannier that converts to a backpack.

And we finally got in our Freeze Your Beep Off ride in. Joe's hands were blue.

Miss Fit’s new saddle in Mr. Green; it’ll be reupholstered in black in order to finish the Café Racer look.

It was great seeing, riding and being with you all again; this winter has made it difficult for us to get together – but with the riding season starting, we’ll have another year to look forward to!

Peace and take care of yourselves!
 
Yes, I think the cold weather kept a few of those who are not quite as hardy, home by the fire. I would say it got colder as the morning wore on due to diminished sunshine and a brisk breeze. The breakfast was outstanding and the ability to kick back and chat in some warmth was a welcome addition. Monson was good, but I think this venue was better. No parking issues on the street and it was easy to get to. I picked up a Girls Raleigh, 3TTT stem and a couple of smalls. Oh yeah, forgot that I got a seat for the Naked & Afraid bike. Already modified it and mounted it. Nice to see all the NERRBS! The ride was brief but proved a short glimpse of what future rides will bring this summer! Where is the warmth?
 
I agree with Joe. I like that venue. The AmVet people were really nice.

I would really like to make Laconia. I thought since I sold all my motorcycles I'd never go there again, but Walker is genius doing it on a bicycle.
