Once we were done looking at all the classic bikes at the museum, it was time to take in the swap meet and the racing. The weathere wasn't too bad all day. There was some light rain but it was scattered and eventually stopped.
SWAP MEET
One of my favorite things to do at this event is to wonder through the swap meet area and look at all the old bikes for sale - many complete piles of junk, others in various states of restoration just waiting for a buyer to make them complete. There were even some bikes that were completely restored and ready to go. One bike caught my eye in particular. It was a Suzuki TS 185 dual sport. Why? Well, I owned one of these as a kid.
RACING DAY 1
The racing started mid day. The conditions were not the best as the track stayed damp most of the day. In fact, we witnessed a couple of spills right in front of us. We have a friend in Florida, Keith Williams, who races an old Norton Manx and a Petty Manx. I have included a couple of photo's of his bikes - very nice! Love watching all these old machines race!
