Really like the new location! :) Kind of a breath of fresh air. Many happy smiling faces. Good to see. Thanks to those involved in putting it on!

Was great seeing our friends we only see in MI. Was also great meeting our new friends! Hope we can make it back next year.
Ignorant people find me irritating. Isn't that precious

It takes dedication, and commitment to make a difference..

Please don't expect me to take you seriously, if your tinfoil hat is leaning to the far left,,,,,

 and mercury is not a good replacement for tinfoil,,,,

Have a nice day!

    Like MF, I found most of what I was looking for on the first day. On Saturday, I found the rest and some bonuses. I was very tempted to buy the black '72 Merc with the newer Polaris 340 in it to keep here on the mainland, hope it found a good home. Great seeing and visiting with everyone! I'll post some pics after I return home tomorrow.

    Was a good weekend for the swap meet. Best weather in a while for sure. Took a few pictures on my way in. I'm assuming this load was just transports. Was some nice stuff.



    Someone will like this one.




    Original paint owned by GM if I recall. Was a nice rig.


    This thing got a few miles on it.








    Nice stuff. Both found new homes.


    Zero mile Cat. I knew the original owner of it since the 60s.




    When I grow up, I want to be a biker. But Mom says I can't do both.

    Sweet.






    Best looking Pony I've seen.


    Nicest Pony I saw for sure.

    Thought on a Honda trade for this one. SACHS 290










    Diamond. Not what it appears to be.


    Nice Yamahas everywhere




    Two cool sleds.










    Nice piece of history. Complete but rough.

    Thanks Chris! Great pictures. I didn't take the camera out of the case. Too busy socializing, selling, looking for goodies and trying to figure out how we were going to pack everything we found into a truck and a 24" trailer to take home.

    What a great event and the weather was awesome. It was nice to see old acquaintances and meeting new..

     Overall a great time!!
