I see a lot of complaining about the toilet and shower situation on the Facebook page, but it all seems specific to the “snake pit” campground (interesting place to visit, wouldn’t want to live there). I personally didn’t have any issues with anything, and scored a few nice bits from the swap meet.

I didn't have any problems, but didn't camp at the track: I had a hotel room 6-7 miles away.

In the swap meet I was looking for a chain guard for the Yamaha, as mine is pitted and pretty rough; there are a few NOS available in Asia but they all have some minor damage. Found a guy with rows and rows of RD parts, including a pile of nice chain guards. I went one way to go to that cheap tool place to buy a measuring tape, went back the other way to the VJMC booth to measure the OEM chain guard on the bike, and then backtracked to the middle to the RD parts guy to measure the ones he had.

Anyway, it worked. I found a beautiful chain guard that should fit with a very small amount of tweaking.

To keep things slightly on-topic, I also found a correct set of side covers - with emblems and chrome pieces! - to send to my brother for the '79 KZ400.
