No drum, that is the deal. Buy in advance and take a chance on forgetting them at home and buying at the door anyway. Or save and buy at the door.

You may wait in line for a pretty long time though if you get them at the door.

Not a bad wait if you buy your tix. there. Even if you bought in advance,you are all in the same line.

Is there any scheduled meeting time or place on Saturday?

[Whiskerfish]

I expect to be at our Booth most all day Friday and Saturday. I know Rat and Oldewing have scouted a couple of local rides but we have not worked up a schedule. I will be there (at Oldewings house) tomorrow evening and we will try to formulate some kind of plan then based on the weather forecasts.

Anyone leaving from Cleveland or going through Cleveland Saturday?

I looked through some videos on you-tube, and it looks like the event is huge. Wish I had a little pit-bike like a Honda 50cc to ride around the grounds...do a you-tube search under Vintage Days to see what I mean.

Is there a map that will show where the tent will be on the grounds? Any hints from folks that have been there would be appreciated.

Guessing it might be hard to get any sizable group together for day rides with all of the cool stuff to see at the event....gotta make the most of the ride in, in and out each day to your lodgings, and home I guess....

You need the pit bike just to see all of the swap meet let alone the entire event. It really takes two days to see everything. There is free transportation around the grounds though.

[Whiskerfish]

According to the web site it is the Largest Motorcycle swap meet in the world.

Maybe I need to bring the truck and trailer.....

Whiskerfish, Looks like great weather this weekend in Mansfield. Highs about 80 Friday and Saturday. Chance of a shower Friday. I'll be riding the bike down Saturday morning. I decided not to take the truck in order to save the marriage! If I brought anything large home (like a new bike) I would be doghouse bound. (Not that I haven't been there before) Let me know if anyone will be coming through Toledo Saturday morning. Ernie

[Rowdy-Ohio]

Yes it is and yes you do

Yes it is large and it takes in a lot of acerage & it would be nice to have a pit bike.

One cornor they have trials events, another dirt bike racing, & the road race track & the swap meet and the venders and Dealers and displays, shows ect ect - it has a little of something for everybody - they do have a small tram system running during the event, it will take you around to the different areas but they do get loaded quikly a lot of walking They do have golf carts to rent, but your likely tooo late to rent one this year

Food vendors too

Man,

That sounds huge!

Well, I pulled into Perrysville, OH this afternoon. (about 30 min. NE of the track) I'm spending some time with family, but looking forward to the show. If any ride dates/times get settled it would be nice if they got posted here. It will be cool to meet a few new people. I need to find RAT and give him $$ for a t-shirt.

Do they have a booth map for the swap meet?

[Cookie]

Remember if anybody spots an LTD manual we have a guy looking for one. I call dibs on a key fob.

[starket]

Don't forget that Craig Vetter will be there and presenting an award for the best Vetter equiped GL1000. It may be Rodger's time for 15 minutes of fame.
