TOPIC:

Anybody going to attend Barber Vintage Festival in Birmingham, AL this coming weekend?  I hope to be there on Sunday the 8th.
 

I’ll be coming down from Ohio. Looking forward to picking up my freshly-painted KZ900 bodywork from BDs Cycle. 

I'm planning it for next year.
Can someone recommend a hotel, that is located where I can take secondary roads to and from the event. I'll be riding around on a 200cc bike and want to avoid any roads over 55mph.

This will be my first trip, so don't have any ideas on hotels / roads yet.

Curious to see how you liked it Wheelhop.

Awesome place!   I will post some pics!  Was only able to go on Sunday as I had my family with and we were visiting relatives 2 1/2 hours away in Tennessee.
A few pics of Allan Millyard creations and a original unrestored 1974 Z1 900.

Swap meet was fantastic (wish I had more money!) I bought an original Z1 seat with the black foam which was on 73 Z1's and early 74's Im told.
I was told the guy was asking $1500 for it earlier in the week and I got it for less than a fifth of that price (I think I was in right place at right time on Sunday as swap meet vendors were packing up and going home).  Also got an original Oiler tank for my early 74 project.  
 

Last few are from swap meet area and a 1970 Kawasaki Coyote mini-bike (very cool)

I remember bumping into "Milly" a few years back at a petrol station near his home, he was riding his V10 Viper engined monster !! A nicer more unassuming guy you could not wish to meet - what a legend 

Hey WH! Thanks for sharing! Too bad I could not get these Z1 parts I have left there. I should have posted questions on the other FB places. I knew some Canadians were going, Right down the Interstate 90, I'm 4 minutes from Exit 52E.
Cool mini bike, I built this old Duck / Wren about 6-7 yrs. ago. Medium Ford Blue left over paint.

I usually wish I had more money at swap meets.

You are 100% correct: anything they haven't sold will go back home and a lot of them will make really good deals rather than repack everything. The drawback is sometimes the good stuff will be gone, but not all the time.
