The VJMC is hosting a swap meet and show at the White Rose Motorcycle Club in York County, PA August 19, 20 & 21. Last year was the first time I made it out, and I decided to make it an annual trip, since it is only a little over an hour away from home. There are plenty of campsites available, showers, air conditioned club house with hot food (food is edible. This is a MC Club, after all...). There was a good showing of bikes and parts for sale, but being that it is rural Pennsylvania, it is very MX heavy. So a few more Yamaha XS's wouldn't hurt at all. This event is not a 1%er or "biker lifestyle" crowd... just a bunch of vintage bike enthusiasts. The hosts don't get too worried about enforcing all the cooler limit and other rules, which is fine by me, as I didn't see people getting out of hand. If I am not dead or the place hasn't flooded, I will be there with my recently road-legal '77 XS (metallic green paint). I plan on setting up camp on Friday night, or getting there early on Saturday, and staying through Sunday's morning show. Stop by my site for a cold beer or two. Hell, I might even get ambitious and set up a charcoal grill. whiterosemc.org/calendar/WRMCEvents2011.jpg |

I may go...I've always wanted to but never made it. I'm about 2 hours away and would ride out and back in one day.
Because of the distance I will probably ride a modern bike out. If the weather is good I will probably be there.
I know it's one of the largest vintage Japanese bike shows in the Northeast.

Only 650 Yamahas allowed. ( all other bikes will be break down on the way)
We will be there. Fri and Sat, also drive back and forth, but we are a closer 1.1/2 hour ride away.
Blessings.

Well, at least you two are riding your bikes in. I probably will be trailering. I'm planning on taking two bikes... one to sell and one to enter into the show. Haven't figured out how to ride them both simultaneously, but if I do figure that out, I'll be sure to let you know.

Reminder... starts today through weekend. Severe T-storms (hail & strong wind possible) this afternoon in the forecast. Radar shows some nasty stuff rolling through western PA this morning, so looks like it could get rough for the vendors; otherwise looks like it will be good weather for the weekend.
Given the storms today, I'll be there tomorrow am, camping out and staying for sunday's show. I'll have my green XS and my red SRX250 (for sale). Hope to see some of you there.

There are 3- 75-77 vintage 650 seats, and one 1980 style... $30 to $80.
and 10e, if you read this, see JACK, at back right vendor space (he has a beat 72- 650 out front),,, he has a set, front and rear MAGS with rotor, the front rim 2 rotors, with new tire,, $25. (pair)
Got home at 5 pm .. no rain for us,, but the lightning was dancing all about.

10E
I hope by 10:30..
My son has bought (and since we could not bring it home on the 650s, we take back a trailer) a 1966 red 160 Honda ( sorry ),,,
and I will make an offer on a very used 650, primary to grab the front end,, and since it has spoke rims, you will not be interested in it ( so STAY away from it, and don't come early) ....

I guess we both oversleep...
The 3 rd guy in the race beat us.
As I walked up, for $ 800 bucks, and the guy was closing his deal.,, and drove it away, sounded purrrfectly pretty,,,
New owner, Kevin the chop saw...he says he will add it to his other 12 XS's, and chop them up.
and
THE ChuckWagon bike looked sweet !

I found a couple things I needed. Found a lead on the rear cast wheel w/drum brake.
Good time. Nice meeting you chuckwagon and good job on the bike.

CW's bike looks sharp..
and so was the bee, i had hidden in my right hand,,
he will never forget my hand shake..
Probably still cussing me now, with his hand all swollen and all, back beyond his wrist now.
Hopefully he can still twist the throttle !
