Hello....
I went to T-town...I went to a bike swap and a fishing tournament broke out...
I worked 13 of the last 14 days prior to the swap, traded weekends and worked holidays so I could attend...Well, I should have known things were bad when I checked into the Sleep Inn to find out Azia no longer works there...Bad start...but I figured I was hitting the swap with Larry O so his negativity and sarcasm would far out weigh my own...I was wrong. I went into the swap...walked around...looked and talked very little. Saw a great deal of fellow CR folks and BOB folks...but I was less than sociable and I apologize...Sorry to everyone...I usually am more jovial and smiles but not today. I unloaded not a single item from my vehicle...except for the green bike I left in the parking lot...hehe...but I took nothing out, left with nothing as well. It just wasn't to be today for me. probably about 20 total vendors at an event that usually harbors well over 100 I would estimate...it was sad turnout...same for the crowds.
Good Points: Talked with Martin G about the classic Honda racers, VFRs, and other moto jabber... Talking with the CR folks and BOB folks I did run across and who were hanging at JBs spot. Saw some cool custom made headbadges that were really quite nice and got a biz card from the individual who makes them in Philly. Nice stuff. Saw some very cool bicycle handmade messenger bags as well and hopefully I can get her to custom make one in plaid...now that would be stylin! Classic content...don't know. I didn't run across anything of interest but in all honesty I gave up from the moment out of the car so that is not a fair assessment. Stopping at Cabella's super store in Hamburg, Pa....very nice place...
Til later...I am sitting in front of the fireplace with the heat blazing on me to thaw out my frozen toes...
