I agree with Jerry. Always something interesting but I haven't been in few years. Good timing to have a swap meet.

Paul:
I have been there many times but am only about 1 hr plus away. As far as european vintage dirt bike there is normally very little. Has turned into more of a Harley meet with about 1/4 vintage Jap bikes. If I was driving more than an hour wouldn't waste my time. I only go when nothing else to do. Like others have said you never know and I used to go to all of them but now maybe once a year at most. Way fewer vendors in the winter.

Jerry, there's MUCH more parts at the Lowbrow Customs' Midwest Moto Swap events in Medina than at any of Buzz's shows. His events are predominately leather and jewelry. Generally, we don't allow jewelry and leather vendors. I've made a couple exceptions based on individual cases. We had a guy from Chicago selling serious riding leather apparel and this February, we'll have one jewelry lady who makes her own stuff with bike logos like Triumph and BSA.
