Spring Thaw has a new location

Dirt track races and swap meet Lebanon, TN

Was a good time. This was the third and biggest year. I was a bit disappointed by the swap meet though. Last year there was a dude with vintage Japanese bike parts sorted out in boxes by model, make, and I think year too. He was a wizard.
Still picked up a GL1000 seat for my little bro, so the swap wasn't a total loss. I hope it goes down again next year.

Swap! Bikes and Ratrods! It was huge last year! See you there!

Dirt Track racing in Lebanon.

Bigger than last year, more classes and swap-meet had more vendors.

 Parking Lot Boss Hoss'

 Is my bike strong enough for a sidecar? Here is a 250 rebel that says yes.

Parking lot Triumph

Parking lot Beemer with a sidecar that reminds me of Mario Bros 3 for some reason.



Bike show:

FOR SALE: 80s era XT350 with an XS650 motor mounted in it.

Heats were two man affairs.

 Between the heats and the main races we visited the racing paddock

 It's on! Saw one guy dump it on a corner, and the guy next to him had to ride over the fallen bike.
That was cool.

Swap meet at Sloans in Murfreesboro

I don't remember this being an annual thing, but I do remember a bike show there a couple of years back that had some vintage bike clubs there and the older gents were pretty cool to talk to. I may have to check it out.

Pics from the Spring Thaw Swap

I made it to the swap about 2pm, small crowd this year, at least it seemed that way to me. More parts than I have seen in recent years, and most of the same bikes you see every year. Lots of Easter eggs, a few "rats" some nice customs and some awesome vintage stock bikes. Only took a few pics, mostly because I am picky. I like bikes that look like they can be ridden. Of the few of those I saw, I will share. I know a lot of work goes into these bikes, and I personally have never built a choppy, but I dont have to be a chef to tell you that the food tastes like shit. Both barrels productions put on a great show, and I cant wait for next years event. There was a Norton club there too, but like a dumbass I forgot to take photos of their bikes. Photos may suck, I'm not a photographer.

Anyhoo on to the bikes.

 This 400 reminded me of the one my dad had.

 I just liked this one, dunno why from the crappy photo

 I thought this Indian was cool until I overheard the builder pointing out all the bit he added on from cars and other non motorcycle bits. The bike is still cool, but fuck man, if shit needs to be pointed out to someone, you're doing it wrong.

this one was next to the Indian and I would like to know what the engine is if anyone knows.

No photos of the main floor of the event with all the vendors...maybe next time.

Spring Thaw Swapmeet is a comin'

Anyone going to this or am I just typing to myself?
