By 8 all the good stuff will be long gone...but that is also the time that the Ladies Auxiliary will be serving breakfast so I may be gone as well

Why would it not be?

if I knew the answer to that, I wouldn't have asked the question. i'll make sure I pass by your display.

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! Thanks again ZygoteLittle for the wheel. I already mounted a tire on it to see what it will look like!







The winner of the D&S award!

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-

 

[Danimal]

Oh snap! You bought the colson! Nice grab...I was too depressed to make him an offer.

 

[SCHWINNRAY69]

Nice finds, Brian. That Colson was the first bike that caught my eye when walking in.

 

[tanksalot]

I rarely say this after looking at the Colson again.. Id say leave it as it is grease what is needed add tires & ride it .. It auctially looks cool sitting as it is..

This is why I shop by flash light ..

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

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.

You’re welcome, Nick!

Breakfast time before the Freeze Your Beep Off !

Yes, it was cold and yes, we froze our beeps off!

A bundle of NERRB’s

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!

 

[Danimal]

Mmm, breakfast.

 

[yeshoney]

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?

Glad to see my trophy evolving and making the rounds. Wish I could have been there to hang out with you guys but maybe next year...or maybe you all swing up for MOTORCYCLE WEEK!

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.
