It's the Tenino, Wa. motorcycle swap meet. Held in the park usually 3rd week of aug. always on the net. Camping spots in the park. Oregon trail days 2nd week of aug also.
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 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😢
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. 🇬🇧
@@CrustyCycle9317 Good luck! Sounds great! Hope it works out for you! I am leaving soon for my usual 5-6 months MC touring in Thailand! Be well....drive safe.
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.
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.
Every time I mention my Knucklehead, my girlfriend thinks I'm talking 👄 about her ..... seriously check out this great 🎵 🎶 song by Otis Gibbs "Panhead Chopper" you will love it
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.
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...
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.
@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.
@@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!
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.
The buyer on those was waffling at $500. As soon as I heard the asking price and expressed interest, the guy instantly opened his wallet and coughed up the dough!
Damn I would buy that CB750 in heartbeat, that's exactly what I'm looking for on the other side of the country lol
I think there's a lot of motorcycle swap meets on the East Coast, too.
Missed it this year, went last year and was reminded of some of the bikes I used to own!
Well, darn it. Try make it out next August.
Wow! Great show and a great location!! Thanks for your video!!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 📹 It can be really nice in Washington, if it doesn't rain. 🌦
It's the Tenino, Wa. motorcycle swap meet. Held in the park usually 3rd week of aug. always on the net. Camping spots in the park. Oregon trail days 2nd week of aug also.
Thanks for commenting 👍
I’d like to come when is the next one is coming
@mastershaw3094 Also, check out Antique Motorcycle Club of America, Evergreen Chapter for dates. 📅
Looks like a good time. I saw a couple dirt bikes I would have considered buying.
Always a good time. A little something for everyone.
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...
It would have sold for sure. Shovelheads are good sellers at that event. Usually 3rd week in August, Friday and Saturday.
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😢
I get it. That's why I'm trying to hang on to that Pan Chopper as long as I can kick it over.

@user-gv8yq8ev1s Maybe, ask him for first right of refusal if he ever decides to sell? I call it planting the seed.
The used to race and set all kinds of speed records on tiny displacement bikes way back in the day...
That Indian inline4...! Extremely cool bike. Love it!
Yeah, you don't see those every day.
From the UK, nice to see how you guys get on - good video.

Oh man I will die for that Rickman chassis 👍
Yeah, you could put any kind of power you want to that chassis.
@@CrustyCycle9317 What are they worth these days?
@will7its that was a 125 mx chassis. Not a ton?
Ohhh....I would love to go over to the US and be there!! There are a few things I would have taken home!
Sometimes, we take it for granted that it's actually pretty descent here. Hopefully, I can get to Europe someday.
@@CrustyCycle9317 Lol! Yes lots of stuff there too!! But mostly Japanese and British!
@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 Good luck! Sounds great! Hope it works out for you! I am leaving soon for my usual 5-6 months MC touring in Thailand! Be well....drive safe.
@user-vd6is7fg7h Thank you, have fun 👍
I would love come to the sales like this.
Hopefully, there is something like it in your region.
Damn wish I’d know about this. I would’ve come up from Portland.
Next year! See you there 👍
There's a swap meet at 915 E Arlington St, Gladstone OR on the 8th
@@tsoliot5913 right down the road. Thanks!
@tsoliot5913 Thanks for sharing that. The 8th is our Isle of Vashon TT up here in Washington also. Maybe next year for me.
Of course.
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.
I really enjoy them even though I can't afford a knucklehead.

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.
Oh god... I wish I had known this was happening or I would have come down from Vancouver Island. I would have been all over that shovel for $3500!!!
Next year, probably 3rd Friday and Saturday in August.
great video :)
Thank you.
10:55 never expected to see a Maico there
You never know what's going to turn up at this event.
@@CrustyCycle9317 True! They are pretty uncommon in Germany, wasnt expecting to see one in a random video in the USA of all places haha
@stephenhauer9055 Nah, there's quite a few over here, still being raced and displayed at shows.
That is a Matchless not a Maico.
@@billwatcher9321 I stand corrected my bad
id love to see one of these in my area
There's got to be something out there for you?
This is a gold mine shame I'm on the other coast.
Yeah, we're lucky some things made it over on the wagon trains, 😆
Looks like a good turnout out! That was a lot of s***!
Stuff…that’s what I meant!!
@rebeccarodgers1656 Yes, Rebecca. Lots of great "stuff"! I wish you were there...
Dang! Wish I had known about this, looking for a front end!
Next August...
I always thought the BSA Thunderbolt was a single carb And the Lightening was a twin carb ???
You're correct. The black machine I was selling has a Hornet motor.
They usually run an ad on Craigslist in the motorcycle parts section. Other than that its mostly word of mouth.
Every time I mention my Knucklehead, my girlfriend thinks I'm talking 👄 about her ..... seriously check out this great 🎵 🎶 song by Otis Gibbs "Panhead Chopper" you will love it
Okay, that's my new theme song 🎵

They used to race flat track in Tenino ,when is this event?
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’d be looking for Honda 305 scrambler.
There might have been something like that there 🤔
Always a good find.
Why wasn't advertised....?
IDK. Follow Antique Motorcycle Club of America (AMCA) Evergreen Chapter.

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

Have you ever seen a Crocker at these meets?
I don't think I have ?🤔
When and where was this held??
Tenino, Washington 8/16-17/24
happen to know who was selling the suzuki?
If you're referring to the 550T, I don't, but I'll keep an eye out for it.
If this is all Hardley I not going . Count me out .
About 50%
Where does this happen I want to go
Tenino, Washington. Mid August. Check AMCA Evergreen Chapter 🌲
Paulsons in lacey used to sell Rickman,kind of a budget RM or CR? The only Harley I like is the VRod and it's not even a real Harley...lol
Paulson's was blowing out those 125's for $399.
Nice hope you sold all your stuff
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!
Is this Crusty Cycle Ebay seller of vintage Moto Guzzi parts?
No, purely coincidental.
The problem with some of the bikes finding the rest of the parts. Some parts may not exist anymore.
Especially with some of those obscure European brands.
NO DOGS ALLOWED ! make these MEETS.
Only WOKE HARLEYS PRESENT?
😂

Are you suggesting those are Chinese motorcycles? Or, just re-pop side covers that aren't badged correctly?
2 tt500's for $5 bills......whaaaaa😭
The buyer on those was waffling at $500. As soon as I heard the asking price and expressed interest, the guy instantly opened his wallet and coughed up the dough!
@@CrustyCycle9317 Yell out Sold as soon as you see TT🤣
@will7its agreed 👍
People and their junk, kinda silly.
Maybe, until you find that one artifact...
Harley is coming out with a new coke head design.
