Motorcycle Swap Meet

PUBLISHED May 1, 2014 IN Lifestyle / Fun /

An early Sunday morning rummage around a local motorcycle swap meet, what goodies can I find?

Once a month in Long Beach, CA they have a motorcycle swap meet, events like this happen all over the world, usually at weekends.

Personally I got dragged around meetings like this as a kid by my Dad, now 30 years later I am the one getting up at the crack of dawn on a Sunday morning and dragging my kid along.

These events are a great place to buy cheap and mainly used motorcycle goodies, start or finish projects and I can tell you that they are a dangerous place to go if you have cash in your pocket.

Here are a few photos from the event, for those that go along to swap meets, happy hunting, buying and selling! 🙂
