Topic: Swap meets?

[Prospect]

Any swap meets coming up in Ontario?  I missed the one in Milton.

There was one in January that I went to in Dundas, near Hamilton two years ago, but it seemed all HD. I wouldn't go to that one again myself. I forget the name/club. The next one for SOHC4 might be Paris in June.

I think that's big al's swap meet in Dundas.  Just found out about it recently.  Thanks for the info.  I own a harley as well so I might make it there just to check it out.

Yes, that was it, Big Als
You'll notice I didn't say anything bad about HD? I've never ridden an HD, one day I must try. Then you should go! There were lots of parts on the floor, indoors, but much like the others during riding season. Lotsa Harley stuff.

I think I might go.  HD and Honda are completly different beasts.  I love working and riding my cb750 but only like riding the HD.  Working on it - not as much.  Comparing the engineering of the two makes from around the same year I understand why HD was near bankruptcy.

Yes, Honda did shake them up at the time. I don't follow new bikes. Can't afford one.

What other meets in the area did you find? Paris Milton and Als are the ones I've been to.

There is a few "big" shows at the International Center and a car show or two that sometimes shows wonderful old bikes but those aren't swap meets.

Apparently there is the Fort Erie Motorcycle Swap Meet on the first weekend of May.  I haven't been to that one.  Paris is still my favourite though.
