Hey everyone I will have 2 fully restored boys and girls 20' Murray bikes for sale at the Main Street Swap booth. I would like to sell both together but will separate. All proceeds will go to help fund the Special Needs Special Children bike program so buy with your heart. I don't have any prices please make a generous offer. I have put more than 5 hours in restoring the boys bike alone.

Take a look at the restoration of the boys bike...

I would like to say I had a BLAST at the fest today. I met so many wonderful people today from all over with all taste and preferences for bikes, and styles. So for everyone who couldn't make it out I would like to open a small window to the days events and happenings. Since the day was so big, and I could possibly put everything into one little thread. I would like to break my postings up in to segments that i'll do over the next couple of days or so. if you would have came out, the first thing you would have noticed was the great people so I'll start there. (sorry if I missed you)

Next I'll segment I'll show case the wonderful bikes, and parts at the swap...see you soon!

This segment is dedicated to all of those who supply us with that one part, or the whole bike we just have to have...The Swap Vendors! At The Biketoberfest there was vendors, and swapper galor. You could buy everything from vintage pre- war to last years hottest thing. There was everything from Rat Rods with full patina to nice and shiny BMX bikes. I took pics or as much as possible, and as always I'm sorry if I missed you!

I will continue to add pics and stories until I run out of photos, This was an amazing event and I just wanted to share all the excitement, and atmosphere that we witnessed. The next segment will be one of my favorites....Stay Tune!

Thanks for Tuning In, and checking out the event!....Earl
