Swap meet in Davenport, IA this Labor Day Weekend
« on: September 01, 2010, 05:19:59 PM »
The annual swap meet is happening this weekend.  Old bikes restored, bike show(old bikes), old parts for many different bikes, and great people to talk to.  And  there is vintage dirttrack racing Friday evening.  Great sounds and smells.  Been going for over 25 years
The Chief Black Hawk of AMCO chapter runs the event.  The fairground will be filled with stuff.
I recommend it for a good time
