Bling Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Today / Tomorrow, incase anyone didn't know / forgot. Heaps of the usual stuff there, including oodles of motorbikes / parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 just got home from it. There is shitloads of motorbikes and motorbike stuff there this year. I was seriously tempted to come home with a GB400 but can't muster the funds. Did any of you O/S guys happen to buy a blue cub scooter thing? I saw a guy pushing one around that looked like the sort of people who hang out here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Yeah I went today, Wasn't me with the scooter though. There is a lot of old bike and scooter stuff there for those that are interested. There seem to be a lot of people there trying to sell their rubbish rather than take it to the tip though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 Yeah was a bit of crap, however, I didn't bring anything home that didn't have rust on it. Excluding hot chips / donuts. I prefer if there is a bit of rubbish there though as you can always find something useful in amongst it See the tarp covered in probably 3m2 of tools for $1 each? Bargains galore! Found it a good mix of people selling items at bargain prices, fair prices, and more than new prices..... wtf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Yeah that tool trailer was baws! - Although I didn't buy any haha Some people were real good with their prices aye, I was seriously close to coming home with a dash from something with a full set of chrome smiths gauges for a hundy but decided not to in the end.

RUNAMUCK Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I gave up on the swapmeet a few years back. Seened to me that it was the same boxes of shit being bought out every year. MK2 cortina speedometers, and other junk like that. I have enough shit already, so I'm going to continue to stay away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePog Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I got a sweet brooks saddle from some shitty bike, took loads of pics too. That Indian on the trailer gave me a chub. Probs going back tomorrow for a quick sifty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 This one? I literally gasped when I came around the corner and saw it. Nearly fell over when I saw the old Douglas, my great grandad and his brothers had ones just like this when they came back from ww1, I have always wanted to see one in the flesh. Now my lifes goal is to own one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 yea thats the one, I would give a nut to be able to own that. Get it running, new tyres, roll like a boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 So many sweet bikes there aye.... shame I know nothing about them as it would have been the perfect time to grab something sweet. Quite liked that brown crown with the whitewalls Glad I took they day off work yesterday for the meet..... today is a bit wet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 The James Cadet project for $750 was there last year as well, would be a sweet little project bike I reckon. Especially if you could beat the price down probably by like half haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
