Motorcycle Events 2023

[Steve G.]

  Yes, there are indeed two events one day apart, March 30 at Langley, March 31 at the Vancouver location. It is free to attend, but requires registration to allow for catering for the nice food spread. I will be at the March 30 event in the Langley dealership, they have asked me to bring over to display my bumblebee, and they have asked Shail’s MC to bring a collection of his cool olde Beemers, and also to commemorate his decades as a BMW representative in Canada.

Oh crap, I went by the original post for the Lynden swap of the 23rd. Just arrived in Vancouver all set to go and went to the official site   It is today! Oh well some other time

  Interesting observations at the Lynden swap meet. The quantity of product for sale has grown to
The point that they’ve opened an adjoining cattle barn. Quite a few complete barn finds, but interesting to see prices on barn finds have gone up. Bikes for sale, depending on widely understood values, have gone up a lot, while models not considered above ‘two star value’ have not moved much. The American hosts were exclusively very happy, nice, polite, happy to engage to Just talk bikes. Local Vincent gathering, with machines displayed separately in an exclusive manner away from the myriad of other  beautifully restored machines, were as usual sullen, offering full view of their nostrils and nose hairs to all non Vincent subjects. Great food from Mexican food truck!
  I didn’t buy anything. I was looking specifically for a 1974 K3 CT70 owners manual. There were stacks of factory manuals of many different Japanese and British machines but not what I wanted.

May the fourth be with you.

  Had a quick chat with Dale and Kev from Vaporblast Canada on Sunday outside in the bike parking. Offered a strong rumour of a motorcycle swap meet/gathering they are planning to host once again at their location on Progress Way in Chilliwack. Date still pending, but sounds like around the Fathers Day sort of 'region' of the month. Once I hear of it, i'll put it on this event schedule unless Dale or Kevin want to make it official here first.

May 30/2023, Vancouver Moto Social #1 for 2023. At International Motorsports, 3059, Grandview Hwy. 7-9pm.
 Food trucks. Look at bikes. Watch weird people. Laugh.

I hope he has bathroom facilities this time.

  Actually, specifically noted, there are 'no' washroom facilities. But,,,,,,free entry!!!

  It might be tricky for me to attend this year, I'll be at the INOA rally in Winthrop.
