Kevin ( Scotty)and I are thinking of having a mini vintage in the valley  at our new warehouse in Chilliwack June 25th the Saturday after Father’s Day. It would be free ,bring a table, sell your stuff ,show your bike free, free to get in. Super low key. There’s lots of room for anyone wanting to sell stuff and the street has no traffic on the weekends. We can arrange food trucks to be there. We of course would have a bunch of our bikes on display and a load of parts to sell. Give us your thoughts , good or bad ! Cheers.

Sorry guys we have to change the date to June 26 the Sunday ( couldn’t get the parking lot to ourselves) hope you guys can still make it and weather is on our sides!

Right on Dale I'll be there

I'm in.

Sounds Terrific! I will come down and I would bring some items to unload as well since after two years of no face to face I have a bunch of parts I need to be cleared out. Anybody need some BSA  parts?
Frank

Great idea!  I'm coming!

   Great Idea!!!!!!


  Talk to the weather gods Dale. Rain, versus sunshine,,,,,,,25 bikes versus 450 bikes in attendance.

I'm always looking for an excuse for a ride.

I'm interested in attending with a table, I have 'treasure' to disperse amongst the brethren  :). Call out if help is needed in setting up.

Maybe some portion of money made (or donation) could be flung Frank's way for his efforts/costs in keeping this website going?

That sounds like a good time . i wish i could make it but I will be in Alberta .  rats ........

Dale, that would be an interesting time for sure.  I can't make a 100% commitment that I would be able to attend at this point, but the intention would be make such an event.  Could maybe persuade Boris and a couple others to attend as well?

I am thinking about a road trip......Claudio, what responsibilities do you expect to have by that time of the year???

I hope to leave Smithers on the 18th or 19th and I think I can find places to ride until then so I’m going to plan on being there. Not sure where the new place is but I’m sure I can find it. I promised my granddaughters both rides on my bike when I come down this summer so I’m going to try and meet them there if possible. Looking forward to it.
Bob
Managed to put 2700 kms on getting here, granddaughter and I will be there tomorrow.
Bob

You're way too clever......way to clever. ;D

June and I should be in Dale we would look forward to it.    If there are out of towners coming in we could handle a couple of overnighters here in Maple Ridge .

42815 progress way chilliwack

Table set up will 7-9 and show will run until 3 cheers for now!

Is this open air or under cover?

 

   The weather is going to be epic full summer. I predict 1000's. i know guy coming down from the interior Saturday full of stuff to sell. I've never been to the new location on Progress, but it could get completely full!

I hope you are 100% correct  Salesman Steve   >:D

Open air !!

Was wondering about the date but found it earlier in the post.

Life gets in the way sometimes! I will not make it to the meet as my wife was in for surgery yesterday and as this took place on short notice I believe it my be best to skip this and I do not have things prepared to bring down. Enjoy your time everybody, at the very least I will get out for a ride.
Frank

Ah, yer a good hubby, Frank.   Wish Janice a speedy recovery.

Thanks for all that made the swap n show.Good to see all that made it to the show! I think most that came to sell stuff did well and there was lots for the buyers to look at. The space ended up being too small:( People seemed to enjoy the food guys food! And as Steve G predicted the weather was epic, but sadly it became too hot for most to stick around. Just can’t get the weather thing right. Until next time, enjoy the summer .

Cheers

Dale and Scotty thank you for putting this on,  hopefully it can be done again.
There were many there that I missed or they were busy commiserating.  Saw some pretty nice bikes out on the street also.

Once again thank you guys.

John

It took me 2700 kms to get there plus I got to bring my 4 year old granddaughter there by bike from Abbotsford so it was a great day. Was hoping for more bikes for her to see but we both still had fun. She did get a delicious home made cookie and a dog named Riley to pet so I’m sure she’d go to another one. Certainly worth the ride.
Bob

Bob, did we miss you?   Boris and I scarpered about noonish, to get back to the Okanagan in time for iced tea.

 Thanks very much Dale, for giving classic/vintage enthusiasts an occasion to gather after such a weird last 2-3 years. Good to see old faces of enthusiast in these crazy powered 2 wheelers.

I probably got there just after you left, don’t remember what the time was. What were you riding? I parked my Versys in the parking lot across the street.
Bob

We were riding an Acura.....extra saddle bags.

It was great to see Dale, Howard, and Boris.  Hopefully I’ll be able to make it up to Peachland for Labour Day weekend.

Thanks Dale and Scotty! Well worth the trip from Victoria and I hope you have another next year. Cliff.

Thanks Dale and all involved. My truck was a bit lighter on the way home and I bumped into some great people.
