[@adotintheshark4848]

Thanks for commenting 👍

[@mastershaw3094]

I’d like to come when is the next one is coming

[@CrustyCycle9317]

@mastershaw3094 Also, check out Antique Motorcycle Club of America, Evergreen Chapter for dates. 📅

[@joelarson1733]

Damn I would buy that CB750 in heartbeat, that's exactly what I'm looking for on the other side of the country lol

[@CrustyCycle9317]

I think there's a lot of motorcycle swap meets on the East Coast, too.

[@speedfreak8200]

@joelarson1733 my best Bud had a 2 week old 81' Honda CB 750 Custom (nice bike) .... he couldn't figure out how/why people would flock to my bike when we pulled up somewhere and not even notice his new bike. My bike was a 1942 Harley 45 ci Flathead Chopper with forward controls, hand shift/foot clutch. What a damn fool I was to sell it ..... I'm almost 70 & have a cruddy old 1400 Intruder 💧 If you own a vintage 🏍 machine, don't sell it

[@CrustyCycle9317]

@@speedfreak8200 Now that's some good advice. Thank you.

[@dontworrybehappy8080]

Looks like a good time. I saw a couple dirt bikes I would have considered buying.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Always a good time. A little something for everyone.

[@jfv65]

That Indian inline4...! Extremely cool bike. Love it!

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Yeah, you don't see those every day.

[@steven.ghodgson765]

From the UK, nice to see how you guys get on - good video.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Thanks for commenting from across the pond. I hadn't thought of what it might be like for viewers from other parts of the world. That makes me want to see what UK swap meet is like. 🇬🇧

[@Barnabasanon]

Ohhh....I would love to go over to the US and be there!! There are a few things I would have taken home!

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Sometimes, we take it for granted that it's actually pretty descent here. Hopefully, I can get to Europe someday.

[@Barnabasanon]

@@CrustyCycle9317 Lol! Yes lots of stuff there too!! But mostly Japanese and British!

[@CrustyCycle9317]

@user-vd6is7fg7h It's on my bucket list. Isle of Man, Omaha Beach, A lap of the Nurembergring in a Corvette. Typical Yank dreams, someday...

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Yeah, you could put any kind of power you want to that chassis.

[@will7its]

@@CrustyCycle9317 What are they worth these days?

@will7its that was a 125 mx chassis. Not a ton?

From Bultaco "65-66" 250 Matisse! They had Rickman frames!

I would love come to the sales like this.

Damn wish I’d know about this. I would’ve come up from Portland.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Of course.

great video :)

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Thank you.

[@Redhead577]

I absolutely love this video. Thank you for putting it out on From Vancouver Washington but now I live in Tacoma I’m working on my bike by myself. I could really use some advice. You probably won’t get to my question but if you do, it’d be greatly appreciated if you respond thank you so much for your time and consideration and thank you for this video, great job

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Thank you. I might be able to help. What's your question?

[@CharlesHarvey-n6f]

Harley nowadays ain't what it used to be. back when that's when Harley meant something first Harley-Davidson I ever owned was the 49 Panhead I miss that bike Shoulda never sold it😢

[@CrustyCycle9317]

I get it. That's why I'm trying to hang on to that Pan Chopper as long as I can kick it over.

[@CharlesHarvey-n6f]

@@CrustyCycle9317 I changed my 49 pan to an electronic ignition and got rid of the points and it would kick over like a moped first try every time I should have kept it I got that bike when I was 20 years old I'm 56 now I sold it when I was 48 the guy I sold it to it's in his garage just sitting there collecting dust😢

[@CrustyCycle9317]

@user-gv8yq8ev1s Maybe, ask him for first right of refusal if he ever decides to sell? I call it planting the seed.

[@paulscountry456]

The used to race and set all kinds of speed records on tiny displacement bikes way back in the day...

[@stclairjones815]

My dad had the Chrome combat wombat 125 I had a 1971 Yamaha 60 CC Enduro and then my dad went and got the first mono shock White yz250

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Very cool, great machines. Then, you were at the event?

[@mattdonna9677]

Looks fun, but I don't miss my Milwaukee vibrator shovelheads. These events are a good way to rub elbows and meet others. Currently riding a Honda VTX 1800R.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

I really enjoy them even though I can't afford a knucklehead.

[@matthewcanfield6748]

id love to see one of these in my area

[@CrustyCycle9317]

There's got to be something out there for you?

[@MH-rb7lp]

Damn, I didn't even know about this event as it is just down the road from me. I could have taken my 78 FXE hardtail down and sold it...

[@CrustyCycle9317]

It would have sold for sure. Shovelheads are good sellers at that event. Usually 3rd week in August, Friday and Saturday.

[@cecilsabourin9462]

And I woulda bought it .Had an '81 , we may appreciate them more now than in the day,although I did ride mine year round up here in Calgary . Sometimes had to let it idle a bit to thaw out the throttle cable .

[@wolfgangweimer737]

I like the video,I've been meaning to go to the swap meet for a while now.Just never made it out.I have a 1959 XLH and was wondering if you could recommend a shop for some engine work I need done. I live in Renton Wa.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

I'm sorry, I don't have a recommendation. I struggle with them myself. That 59 Panhead chopper. But definitely come to the swap meet.

[@waynedawson9695]

They usually run an ad on Craigslist in the motorcycle parts section. Other than that its mostly word of mouth.

[@donsumpter3379]

Have you ever seen a Crocker at these meets?

[@CrustyCycle9317]

I don't think I have ?🤔

[@BlackdogADV]

I’d be looking for Honda 305 scrambler.

I haven't heard about flat track racing in Tenino. However, they still race in Rainier, the next town headed north on hwy 507. The swap meet is usually the 3rd Fri and Sat in August, located in the city park.

I always thought the BSA Thunderbolt was a single carb And the Lightening was a twin carb ???

We sold a fair amount of parts and accessories, but all my bikes came home. Overpriced, British bikes are really soft right now. Next time!

[@bluesmanish]

Is this Crusty Cycle Ebay seller of vintage Moto Guzzi parts?

[@CrustyCycle9317]

No, purely coincidental.

[@cryingdemocrats1460]

The problem with some of the bikes finding the rest of the parts. Some parts may not exist anymore.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Especially with some of those obscure European brands.

[@jamesbanjomanjohnson]

you ever heard that old saying- a fool and his money will part? any body that thinks a junk knuckle head is worth 47 thousand dollars is an idiot, they wasn't worth the 600 dollars that they cost new, and now it ain't worth 47 hundred but there still asking 2 see if there are any fools out there, funny thing is nobody's going 2 buy it so next year they can ask twice as much 4 it...

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Yeah, it's amazing what they ask for those machines. One thing is for sure, I won't be buying it...

[@unionrdr]

It always works like the flea market. Haul some absolute junk out of the wrecking yard, call it a classic, and charge like it's all in one piece and restored! So many junk yard rejects it's pitiful. And that old Honda near the end wasn't even cleaned up for 3,500! Insanity.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

@unionrdr Yes, However, my experience is that if it isn't a smoking deal, it's not gonna sell. Motorcycle swap meats are usually super fun to attend and there's always some kind of good deal hiding in there.You just gotta find it and I think that's the fun part.

[@unionrdr]

@@CrustyCycle9317 You're right, of course. Look at everything carefully for those diamonds in the rough. Once in a while, you find something you've searched the net for, right there in front of you, finally! That IS the cool part!

2 tt500's for $5 bills......whaaaaa😭

The 3 obviously non original red dirt bikes are all missing the XR sticker on the side cover's, Could have simply got them reproduced at a good vinyl shop for cheap too & said machines look way better than the obnoxious Chinese knockoff condition there in now a good Chinese knockoff artist can & will make a Chinese knockoff version & it would be hard to spot, But l can smell a Chinese knockoff from miles away.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Are you suggesting those are Chinese motorcycles? Or, just re-pop side covers that aren't badged correctly?
