2022 York swap meet and bike show

[johnacapp]

To all,
I was curious if York was on the schedule for 22, Just went on line and site lists January 23, 2022 as the date.

Thinking about preparing and taking one of my Pentons to show.

Has there been any discussion if POG will have a presence?

Hi all,
Can someone give a brief report on the York Swapmeet this year ?? I was going to make the trip up for it again this year but the weather forecast started going downhill. I didn't want to risk getting stuck in the airport and so pulled the plug on the trip at the last minute. Let me know. Thanks !

Dave,

Kevin Lavoie and I took the long ride from Rhode Island to PA for the show and swap meet and had a fandamtastic time!  Interesting thing is, prior to COVID in January 20, I went to York, but since then I have been effectively cooped up and had done nothing, until York 22.  As silly as it sounds, it's the first thing that felt "normal" in 2 years! 

Got to catch up with tons of folks I see too seldom, attended the AHRMA banquet Saturday night, great eats by the way and even better stories from lots of folks. 

Huge thanks to the PVR club for hosting this event – it's really nice to be surrounded by 2000 people who are into vintage as much as I am.

The icing on the cake was that both Kevin and I hauled down a couple of bikes to show – Kevin Lavoie with his 75 Mint 400, the very bike he won the Blackwater 100 on in 2 consecutive years (75/76) and I brought down a 73 JP I finished freshening up just before Christmas. 

Kevin walked away with the Exhibitor's choice award – this is a trophy based on the votes of other folks showing bikes.  I took 2nd in the Vintage Enduro/Trail division for the JP.

The only fly in the ointment was we hit an ice storm headed back home, so it was a very slow go, but no issues.

Looking forward to the 2023 show and swap meet – the only thing I need to figure out is what to build, the choices waiting in my overflow storage are:  72 Berkshire, 73 Hare Scrambler, 72 Jack Piner, and a "Franken Bike" which will consist of a Rupp 80 frame and an NOS Sach 50/A engine, the plan for this one is to dress it as a Penton, remains to be seen what I "model" I name it.

All in all a great time

Hey, I have a suggestion.   Get that '72 Jackpiner up and rolling and going well!        Someone we know would love to take it to Virginia ....

I'm over in Appomattox County, near Spout Spring.  Heading out in the morning with my wife on our Triumph to Swansboro, NC at the beach for three days to meet some long time friends I ride with ....

I hope you are enjoying your ride. It's been a bit cold and very windy. Let's catch up via text: 5408158411. I think we may have a mutual acquaintance in common:)

Just got home from the ride .... It WAS in fact very cold and windy, like flying an airplane in a crosswind all weekend.   AND we had the wrong electrical adapter for my wife's electric heated jacket, so she really had to layer up.

Still, it's quite a pleasure to get home after a 6 hour ride in the cold and wind, take a hot shower, fix a cup of coffee, sit in front of the fire, and enjoy having done and enjoyed something that 99% of the world either couldn't or wouldn't do!
