Subject: [CR]Westminster Swap report

The Westminster Swap provided me with a chance to get lost in the mountains of Pennsylvania and Maryland mountains (not all bad, considering the view: as Wallace Stevens wrote "One must have a mind of winter to see the nothing that is there and the nothing that is not there," or something to that effect), see many CR members, buy a few items, allowed me to miss the Super Bowl, see quaint Pennsylvania and Maryland small towns, and generally have a good Sunday talking bike goofiness.

I agree with Charlie Young's assessment: the Bilenkey bike was worth the visit. Pretty spiffy bike.

Not a lot of vintage stuff, I thought, but enough for me to spend money on stuff that I don't need. And those that had the most vintage, know Ebay prices, and that's okay with me.

Cheers.
