I have to agree with Ray, this swap seemed to have a tremendous amount of vendors, and the turn out was great, but the deals were few and far between. Some dealers had prices that seemed to reflect more of an ebay market then a swap. How many times did I hear, "well I could get X amount on ebay..." Still, I walked away with a few things I needed (and a few that I didnt) and got to see some of the folks that I have met through this list. The highlight for me was talking to one vendor about the new interest in older parts and components by a younger crowd (I guess I fit in this category). He didnt seem like a someone who kept up on bike trends or markets, just an older rider who wanted to sell a few things and talk shop.
