Potomac Vintage Rider York Swap Meet 2020

Traveled to York, Pa for the vintage swap after meeting up with Mat and Kenny in Tom's River, NJ.
Weather was good so there were a lot of attendees, I was glad we arrived at 8AM and left by 10AM.
It's a good swap meet and the timing is perfect in January when everyone is looking for projects/parts, but it also gets so crowded later in the day that it really isn't great for searching for parts, but that is just my opinion.

I found 6 magazines with articles I liked, and purchased 2 petcock rebuild kits from Al Buehner that I badly needed. That alone made the trip a success for me. I managed to avoid buying small parts like grips and such that would go in a drawer for later use but sit unused. My big disappointment was not finding any vintage style gloves as I will hoard them since they wear out and need replacing as much as any other part. Where have all the reproduction or NOS vintage gloves gone to?

First thing I did was take photos of some of the vintage bikes in the show upon arriving, with my new camera, to try and avoid interference with the growing crowd. It happens I took few of street bikes as they aren't of current interest to me... There were many exceptional restorations and picking a favorite is virtually impossible and changes by the minute as you look at each one! I wish I had a different lens to shorten the depth of field to try and remove clutter from the image backgrounds as it is a large room but overly crowded but I did my best with what I had ...

Overall my camera worked flawlessly for it's first test. Slide show follows.
