Swap meet time! So much good stuff, and entertaining people. Like these fellas I met from Gassers Garage in Portland.

There’s still two days to go, and tons of cool stuff…
It was raining on and off all day as we’re used to in the Pacific Northwest, so most folks had nice tents set up.

This is pretty much the epitome of “my type of place” with motorcycles, cars, leather jackets, tack, cowboy hats, old signs, all sorts of stuff. Now, this is no surprise to most swap meet goers, but it’s always a treat.

This man has many, many Bultacos.

Folks were really nice and unlike most events I go to, were aware when they got in the way of my camera, and were more than happy to move.

I left with a few things I’m always on the lookout for… a great oldschool helmet, 30 MPH road sign, and vintage car seat buckles. Stocking up for craft time during the summer.

Ever look back at photos from trips and realize that you don’t have any with your motorcycle? Photos with people included are way more memorable, even though we love looking at our sexy machines. Amanda Zito and I made a little how-to video with tips and tricks for snapping photos of you on your bike!
