My plan is to be there. I am going to talk to the Bova's and see if they want to set up a table or three. So may have to work a space...but that is ok.

This has become one of my favorite events.

Me too! A nice midwinter, beat the cold, break for me. I'll probably stay at whatever motel you guys have been using rather than with my buddy in Lebanon this time.

Hope it don't snow. But I will go!

Maybe setup. Its a 10x10 and should fit 2 tables. Maybe jam a 3rd.
Would be good to have a BritBike member as a partner. Might defray gas and bridge cost. Plus half the time you could be out searching for more junk and what not. They give you 2 tickets if you setup. I think you can rent a table from 'em if need be. PM me if interested.

To any of you planning on setting up at the meet! I have a few BSA parts I'd like to sell but not enough to warrant getting a spot. Wondering if I might put them out on your table? Willing to share in the table sitting duties and a percentage of the spot rental. Please PM me if you are interested.

This is one of my favorites. Mostly because I live in York. The swap meet always sells out. Even after they moved it into the main building.

I will have my two newly acquired race bikes in the show.

I reserved a room at the Hampton Inn York on Mt. Zion Rd. It is the same place that we stayed at 2 years ago. Prices are reasonable but not cheap. The lowest price, however, is not cancellable. I went for the price which is just a few bucks more and is cancellable. With this new Omicron (which interestingly uses the same letters as moronic) variant, who knows whether the meet might be cancelled at the last minute.

Man, oh man, that looks like an event I'd LOVE to go to!

Show a couple of bikes, sell all my leftover spares, meet online friends in person.

Too bad it's SO FAR AWAY!

Talked to Tom with Potomac Valley Riders who told me the show is a vendor sellout. So, 75,000 square feet of bikes and parts!!!

I have partnered with Lannis at vendor space #248.

The 10 day for York shows partly cloudy all week once the Martin Luther King Day storm clears out Monday or so.

See you there!

I'm off work (mostly) after minor knee surgery. Notice the word "mostly"... my ONE gig happens to be going in the 19th and out on the 23rd with an afternoon load out I think around 3 ish- It's a Children's show hence the mid-day load out, most Sunday load outs are 10PM.

But I plan to come down to the swap in the morning to hang out and see everyone, plenty of time to get down there and still make it to work. Maybe we can squeeze in lunch afterwards at the White Rose if anyone's up for it before I have to bolt?

Afternoon prior, beers at Liquid Hero anybody?
;:beerchug

text me @

7 one 7, three 8 five, 616 three

Be good to see everybody.
