Vintage Swap Meet in Paris, On., June 13-15

Posted: Thu Jun 12, 2014 1:58 am

Saturday is always the best day to go. It clears out by noon on Sunday.
With Friday the 13th in Port Dover about an hour away there is some spillover
Last year there was over 1000 bikes in the parking lots.

Steve, I think I saw some nicer bikes in the parking lot, than on the grounds last year. I can't make it Saturday, so I'm doing my riding tomorrow, wx permitting.
Dover first thing in the AM, then heading to Paris by 1pm at the latest. I'm meeting up with a guy from our CVMG club that will have some stuff for sale.
He has a business called Back2Original. He has a beauty Suzuki RG500.

Cheers!
Chris

You probably saw a LOT of bikes in the parking lot that were nicer.
Because i am selling junk i don't get to wander around.
Too bad i will miss you this year, Chris.

We'll have to meet up in Campbellville later on in the summer Steve. Five of us from London went down a couple of weeks ago, we met up with Gabe, he was on his big white Goldwing, Shamu!!

Have a good weekend, the weather for Sat. and Sun. looks great.

Biggest turnout of vendors yet.
Vintage bikes of all sizes and shapes
The only one i took a photo of.

Fee should recognize it.

I was there Friday afternoon. I saw Andre's 900F, but not Andre. I had a beer with the Lawrenson brothers, Paul and Ryan. I rode the 2 hours to Port Dover in the morning, hit some light drizzle and wet roads, but nothing heavy.
Port Dover was the usual side-show with all the Harley brothers, who all like to dress alike...
I didn't see any other F bikes there at all. Mine got lots of looks and photos. Sure is nice to have something really different and stand out from the crowd.

Thanks for the picture Steve. It actually looks good from a far. It's too bad the bike next to mine/Fee's old bike had a cover on it as it is a very clean looking 900F

I actually had a pic of the two of them together but once again my photography skills proved to be in need of improvemnet.
The black cover made it look "stealthy". haha.

Sorry I missed you Chris, thanks for the mention. I was probably tearing around on my little Italjet 50cc keeping the mosquitoes at Bay! A beer with Paul and Ryan is a longstanding Paris tradition for me and my buddies.

Hope to see you and other F'ers next year!
