*** What are some good vintage bike events???
« on: June 08, 2014, 10:10:56 pm »
What are some of the best/biggest vintage bike events in the Midwest/East Coast/South.  I live in Cincinnati, but i am willing to take a road trip to enjoy some good vintage bikes/cafe racers.  Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Since you live in Ohio, why not take in the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days at Mid-Ohio. A lot of fun and a lot of good vintage racing. Also they have a huge swap meet. I think it's held in July of this year.

+1  Get Camp tickets before they sell out. Usually they go on sale in July, I think.

Near Hanover PA, the Annual Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Meet & Bike Show.  No racing, but it is held at a club where they do hill climb and trials events.  They haven't made a flyer yet, but here's the link to the club website where' it's held;
