Rhinebeck Super Swap Meet
Hey gearheads, friday saturday and sunday marks the annual rhinebeck swap meet and vintage cycle show. If you've never been to this before its a really great time and there are hundreds of vendors and lots of cheap parts . Im heading down on saturday the 11th i think. Maybe if anyone else wants to go we can carpool to save gas? heres a link to the site http://www.rhinebecknationalmeet.com/

Just like last year I am trying to work my schedule to get down there on Friday - I'll let anyone know if Saturday looks better.
ReplyDeleteSaturday or Sunday could work for me. I'll have to put in for a day off,so the sooner we could firm it up the better. That should go over real well at work... just took this past Sunday off to ride the the Auburn Brit meet. I'll post a few pics as soon as I can figure it out ;/

Id like to go on saturday, i think its the better day. More vendors than on friday usually. If you want to carpool we can. I have a truck if no one else does
ReplyDeleteI'd like to go Saturday also, I'm an early riser. I have a hatchback so I can get some stuff in the back not a complete bike... but with some tools, and 2 gorillas it might be possible. I'd be leaving from Saratoga

ReplyDeleteMy wife has one of those gmc xuv things where the roof opens and becomes a truck, sucks on gas but its a cushy ride can seat 4 with ease I'll sweet talk her
ReplyDeleteNo go on the xuv she needs it we can take two vehicles I'll definitely drive I'll be leaving exit 12 at about 7am
ReplyDeleteI dont plan on buying a whole bike (just bought 3 actually) but four peoples worth of stuff may require more than one vehicle. Maybe the truck and hatchback? Im a little guy so i'll fit where ever

ReplyDeletethis is great XXCafeRacers 1st group outing.
ReplyDeleteGreat swap meet yesterday, parts for any bike, and I mean ANY bike. If you need to know anything about brit bikes jnelligan is your guy! Quiet guy with a lot of bike knowledge.
ReplyDeleteShaundon is the mad scientist type, you'll see him grabbing parts for projects he hasn't even started yet! Plus he can find free eats anywhere, not sure how he did it at a MC swap meet, but he did!
The weather held out for the most part so it was a good time had by all. We took 2 vehicles but none of us ended up filling the back of the truck, but we tried!
Let's see if we can get a few more members for the next swap!
I went Friday - sorry to miss you guys. I need to hook up with jnelligan...

ReplyDeleteYou really don't - its rather unimpressive aesthetically speaking - goes like a bat out of hell though (for a Brit) with some minor clutch slippage around 85 - 90 mph.
