Classic & Vintage Swap Meet + Show ‘N Shine

rickyboy · 04-28-2013, 11:26 PM

Well "a340driver" [Al B.], his son Paul and I took a ride out to Tsawwassen
[pronounced "sa wa san" by most], meeting up with "elvis", for the Classic & Vintage Swap Meet & Show and Shine.
For a day that had a 40%,... increasing to a 90% chance of rain ..it turned out sunny with some clouds and a great day. "elvis " and I estimated there had to be well over 1000 bikes show up for the meet. Everything from a Boss Hoss to "sportster's" , FLH's old Indians, BMW's Norton's a lot wearing collector plates......Oh ! and one Nomad. ...that I saw.....mine. The show was suppose to be inside,... with a few, maybe a doz. or so vintage bikes along with used parts for sale from small chop shops and vendors. Unless you were building something there wasn't much of interest IMHO.

For me the show was outside, looking at all the rides that people road to get to the "The Show".
Here are a few of the bikes both inside and outside that caught my eye. I mean I have a lot more but .......

Al, Paul, "E", and I had a good time for sure. I enjoyed my time with them all.
I don't see elvis often and it's always nice seeing him,........just a nice guy and a real "gentleman".
Not that Al isn't a "nice guy and a gentleman".

Here's "elvis" and Al

Here's one of the crowd .. nice to meet ELVIS. It was a fun day, but I'm a little sore today. The SECA shocks aren't meant for my old bones. I'm feeling a little beat-up.
