The Kelowna vintage motorcycle swap meet was a ton of fun, the turnout was definitely quality over quantity, a lot of good folks that love motorcycles. Young and old, just getting into it or seasoned swappers with decades of experience. The temperature got near 40 degrees celcius, but the people still looked through bins of parts that burned to the touch. It seems everyone bought, sold or my favorite, traded parts for what they needed.
I want to thank everyone that came out, to buy, sell, trade and just say hello. Couldn't have done it without all of you. Thanks to The Rutland Centennial Park for letting me host the event, Rick and Alf from the Park for all their help and support, my wife for her endless support, Tyler Wheeler from Blue Collar Textiles for helping set up and tear down tables, and for everyone asking me to put on more swaps and especially for the suggestions of how to advertise to get more people out.
Now for the news, I can't say much yet, but I have been asked to work with a vintage car show this fall, that hosts an auto swap meet and wants to add a motorcycle section, as well as a bi-monthly mini swap at the flea market. I'm still putting parts away and organizing my new stuff, but will be working to make these other swaps happen, and hopefully get more and more people out and bring more vintage motorcycle enthusiasts together.
