Anyone going to the Barber vintage Motorcycle festival in Leeds Al (outside of Birmingham) Oct. 11-13. I'm going the 11th and possibly the 13th. Looking for a backup trials bike. If you don't know about it look it up on YT. Vintage racing & 500 venders at swap meet. Need a part let me know.

Local fellow and Member of Viking Chapter of Vintage Motorcycle group here in MN mentioned swap meet here this year was a low turnout at both there June meet and Sept swap meet . He also did the Iowa, Chief Blackhawk meet and had a slow participation.
Seems economy cut back on both buyers and sellers at events . That extra cash is hard to give out and also exchange for those wanted items.
I know myself with around 15 bikes I should sell some but also the parts I want can wait as still have to many projects going without needing more items I might use tomorrow on another project .

I had a bike when i was 16 years old and rode several till about 45.. Kids and wife duties too much so called it quits....... Had a TL125 Honda trail bike in the beginning.. Geared for top speed of about 40 MPH... But in 1st gear it would climb a tree ! and didnt weigh anything. Harleys and Hondas over the years. Bothers had BSA and Triumph..

Like them all, but love the "B"s.
