Default 2011 Hanford Vintage Motorcycle Show & Swap Meet

Ever since I was a kid I wanted to go to the Hanford Vintage Bike Show and Swap Meet and in 2011 I made sure to get out there to see what it was all about. When I was a little kid my dad would go with his friends almost every year and I was never allowed to go. I think it was more of a trip for him to pick through the swap meet to look for rare parts than anything else. No matter... It's a great show where a lot of people come together to celebrate vintage bikes only. No racing, no cars to get in the way - just bikes. I recommend anyone go if they can get away for the day. Just in case you were wondering if it was worth it I decided to finally post my pictures from 2011.

First we unloaded the two bikes that my friend Joe decided to bring out to show.



And push them into the fair grounds before the hoards of people get in. It's great to get there early and hang out with fellow motor heads while it's quiet and calm in the morning.



If you register your bike for the vintage show they take your bikes picture to make it official.
