Long Beach Swapmeet this Sunday March 25th

24Cycle/BeerBreed will be vending at the Long Beach Cycle Swapmeet. If any of you are vending there let me know so I can pass by and do a little treasure hunting. I like to buy from fellow 33 guys when I can to support our habits.
I will be in spots 214,215,216 and were bringing a good pile of stuff.
Ironhead goods from 60s and 70s
Pan, Shovel and Flat Side harley parts
Chopper goodness , frames, front ends, tins ect
I will also be bringing some old Ironhead Relics looking for new care takers. I hope to be bringing a Shovelhead or 2. All bikes have titles and matching numbers.
See you there!

Wasn't planning on going seeing that it might rain and I have to work Sat night (corner of Hazard & Harbor for those interested), but now that I see all the coolness you're bringing I will probably wait by the gate and jump in the bed under the tarp as you roll in. That's how I got into the country so I should weasel in undetected. BTW, I hope you have some pussy lights.............if not just let me smell your finger.

Damn I wish I was closer to Cali! Is the `swap meet just for cycles?

Tullips Bloom in the rain...... YES we will have a couple on hand so be early if you want yours. I sell them for 40.00 cash money. If you say your on the 33 you get yours for 33.00 bucks. My booth last month

probably a dumb question but if you ride your bike there, is it free? last time i went i noticed bikes were riding into the separated parking space so im wondering.

NO it's not a dumb question. They give you a 1$ dicount if you ride in... I know, totally lame. Expect to pay $10.00 to get in. Count how many non-cycle vendors you see and ask yourself if it's fucking worth it.... go on I dare you.
But, Atoms going to have some good stuff there, 90% of the rest is CRAP, chrome, and made in China. Those of you who know what I'm talking about know what I'm talking about.

Most Gray Beards and builders of old goodness hit me as fast as the gate opens. Im usually closed by 11 at latest.
I have my famous 3 dollar crates for the guy that needs to take home something. If you want to stop and shoot the shit its always best to do so after 10:30 unless your coming to pick up pre ordered caldo de res for your wife haahaa. Before then Im watching my goodness for sticky fingers.
See you there!

yup! gonna be a wet one tomorrow...

A.T.

I'll some of you 33er's tomorrow. Am looking for a throttle btw

And some clutch cables.

33ers, you guys still vending and heading out tomorrow regardless of the weather? want to know if its even worth my close to two hour drive.

Couldn't make either the bacon run or the pre-party thing, Long Beach is out too. Sucks cause I was in Santa Monica earlier for the blue and yellow tent on the beach for the wife. Tomorrow got in-laws to drop off in Palm Springs for their flight back to Canada. Shot my whole weekend down as far as getting anything bike related done. Hopefully I can sneak a couple hours in the garage with the soldering iron to finish up the wiring (been saying this all week).

I go rain or shine Leaving in 2 hours

Looks like rain is holding off until late today. Heading out in about an hour. Stop by E18 and say hello.

DAMN! I guess bad ass bikers and baggers are allergic to rain! Place was dead! I found what I was looking for tho..... yeeee! Oh and those tulips are very nice!

Me too. Scored some rockers and internal fork stops... Loading up for my next project.

Damn Atom, I forgot about those lenses when we met up. I should have bought one from you.

No worries Matt
I was about to pass out from exhaustion after the lunch with you and your buddy. Good to meet you in person and give your Ironhead a good home. Congrats and welcome to the Ironhead club. I miss that scoot already....
I need to give some love to the guys and gals that buy our "Reusable Goodness". If it wasn't for you buying the goods I bring out to the swaps I wouldn't be able to put food on the table. I try to make sure I dish out the deals so your getting your $$ worth. The parts I sell I have from years of doing bikes or hunting. It is my job and my families income so when you buy from me it keeps my family roofed and fed so I appreciate the support.
I also like to thank those that bought any of the Pan, Knuckle goods. That money went to Oscar my favorite old Gray Beard. He has been hit with Parkinson's Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis pretty bad. He is finally out of the hospital but stuck on a oxygen bottle for life. He can no longer work and he has always lived hard and fast in the gentalest way. A true bikers spirit so I do what I can for him.
Many of you have met him on my North Drinks with the South camp outs. He is also my Sis Rachael's dad and her and my friendship goes back to elementary school.
Big love to the Men of Lady Hump for stopping by and letting me take a leak. Jluck also rolled through and not only watched my shit he helped me load up after the show. I don't just let anyone stand watch over my goodness that feeds the family. I can tell you if these guys are in your presence your covered. Much Respect!

Duane thanks for stopping by.... I will give you a shout later in the week..

Sounds good. Thanks for the magazine!
