Who's in? It's just east of Birmingham, AL. I'll be riding down from Chattanooga, TN with a few friends on Saturday (13 Oct 12) on a VFR. I'm just curious as to who else may be attending. It looks like it'll be a really great day.

It's my first time down there. I thought it was just a race. I didn't know there was a swap meet as well. I told my wife I don't think I want to go now; it's too much awesome for me to handle!

I was asked by a few friends of mine to go down with them. My bike is unavailable and Casey is letting my borrow his 25th anniversary VFR. Score! It'd be a nicer ride on that than my F650.

I can't wait!

It is too awesome to handle. It's sensory overload the first time you go.

As cool as it is to see a perfect vintage bike in the museum, seeing the same bike loaded up in the parking lot with oil, filth and tags from a couple states over is even cooler.

You ain't kidding! That's nice to see. I hate to see "trailer queens". Plus, I've got a special place in my heart for BSAs. Great photo.
