Fall Swap Meet Atlanta Georgia 11-4-2017

[kirkpatrick]

Interested if anyone has any pics of the goods they're bringing. I'm thinking about bringing some stuff to sale, but don't wanna be stuck in one spot all day, also, staying Saturday night and don't wanna leave anything in my trailer at the hotel overnight. May try to sell a bike or two to deliver.

*****You can certainly wander about the grounds of the Swap Meet to hunt for goodies and make new friends! Whoever you are set-up next to can help keep an eye out on your stuff...... leave a sign with your phone number in case somebody needs you there to buy or inquire. Most of us end up wandering about......I have never heard of any thievery happening.
..... as for your overnight stay. No promises here BUT we are far enough away from Atlanta that you should be safe. Maybe you should consider a large TARP with Bunji Cords holding it down to hide your possessions.......
Looking forward to having you come such a long distance and hang with us! Cheers! CCR Dave

That’s pretty much exactly what I was thinking! Out with the old, in with the new. Probably gonna leave the swap and drive until we have to stop to sleep. May bring whatever bikes I have into the hotel room with me, lol.

 

[kirkpatrick]

Here's a few I'll be bringing along with me. Hope to sell a few and bring some new ones home.

Pre-war, I think, Monark Rocket

41' Fleetwing

Pre-war Shelby

 

[Classic Cool Rides]

Here are a few I will have there for sale.........
1) late '40's Mercury Airflite
2) mid '50's X-53 "starter kit" just hang the expensive jewelry on it
3) Monark Super Cruiser/Firestone Franken-Bike
4) Schwinn Tiger mostly original from '59 I believe
plus many more not photographed yet

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

ANNOUNCEMENT! >>>>>> A (NON--JUDGED) SHOW-N-SHINE DESIGNATED AREA DUE TO POPULAR REQUEST !!

There will be 2 10'x10' TENTS ...... side-by-side ....... that will hold about 16 BIKES -- Covered..... that will be for SHOW-N-SHINE Bikes !!
One Tent is a GT Bicycles Tent (see picture below) and the other a FELT Bicycles Tent.........
I had requests for N.F.S. Bikes--Show Bikes--Special Interest--RARE-- Custom Builds, etc. to have a special area for display....
I MUST Limit this to 2 BIKES MAX per person, to be as fair as possible...... for UNDER TENT space!! **** that is about 16 BIKES !!
There will be unlimited space NEXT TO these 2 tents for "Overflow" .......(they will NOT be covered!)..... NO RSVP Needed for these.
PLEASE either REPLY HERE ....... OR ............ PM me to RSVP for these 16 Spaces under cover of the TENTS
I figure either 8 folks (Minimum) with 2 SPACES each ..... OR ........ possibly 16 individual spaces will fit ****
(**** I will have 4 bikes under EACH Tent facing NORTH....and 4 bikes under EACH Tent facing SOUTH)
You SHOULD make a sign describing your bike, with YOUR Name.....so we all know who is to get credit for your bikes.......
These 16 "under tent spaces" are by RSVP .....reply NOW.....1st come-1st reserved.......
Make sure your bikes will have a SOLID kickstand OR display stand to AVOID a Domino Disaster !!
Please Note: These WILL NOT be SUPERVISED 100% of the time !!

I will POST **ASAP** when I know that these 16 Spaces are filled-up!
IF By-Chance the spaces DO NOT all get Claimed by END-OF-DAY THURS 11/02...........( 11PM E.S.T.)...........
I will REMOVE the 2-Bikes-per-person LIMIT!
Lets HAVE FUN !!
CHEERS !! CCR Dave

SHOW-N-SHINE "BIKE CORRAL" (UNDER THE TENTS) UPDATE!
The amount of folks replying for the Bike Corral for under-the-tent space maxxed out at about 7-8 BIKES..........
(MANY choosing instead .....to keep their Prized Possession at their own Swap Space!!).....I understand.....that's Cool too!
I believe I will just have ONE Tent (the GT Tent -- pictured above) be the focal point for these Bike Corral SHOW-N-SHINE Bikes
Any last second additions (and day-of-Event) will be parked just outside of the GT Tent.
Remember folks ....... there will be 200-300 additional "Car/Truck/Motorcycle people" at this MEGA-Swap Meet......who might come by to see what us BIKE PEOPLE are up to! This area will be to show-off some of the "Cream-of-the-Crop" in the Vintage/Custom Bicycle world!!
Let's get their attention! Cheers! CCR Dave

Safe Travels to you! ..... and to all others making a long drive!
I understand that MOTELS are unusually HIGH price at EXIT 149!
(I heard its because there is a BIG Game in Athens, GA on SAT)
I would CONSIDER staying at EXIT 111 where rates are more reasonable.....THEN early SAT Morn you'd have a 30-40 minute drive to the Dragstrip! Looking forward to seeing you there! Cheers! CCR Dave
