Re: Vintage MC show in East Tennessee "the Possum Motorcycle Gathering"
I am curious to know how the crowds were at the event. Were there lots of people attending? How was the swap meet? Anyone from the NGW crew sell anything?

Crowd is a strong word for attendance.....
Swap meet was 4 or 5 tents, which we where one.
Whiskerfish sold a couple of mirrors but no one else sold anything...

Looks like Vintage Days will happen ... if we can’t get our numbers under control, there will be no Canadians there ...

Re: Vintage MC show in East Tennessee "the Possum Motorcycle Gathering"
There were several vendors with complete bikes and others with parts (one guy had a bunch of NGK plugs for a buck each, but all the non-resistor went quick!) A couple guys brought trailers full of used bikes that had been restored/freshened and that pretty well filled the entry pavilion. One of my friends brought a trailer of "projects", and I think he sold one. One of the bike vendors told me that he wished he had brought more so he would have one left for the show - he sold all he brought. Spectators could have been a lot better, and I am working Patrick to get sponsors next year for the purpose of marketing the event. Some suggested a fee for entering the show to pay for the plaques, but if the donations cover it I think he will go free for another year.
