There should be quite a few bikes with FOR SALE signs on them in the show. COVID has caused a lot of rescues.

The 75 (Baby) lives. Still a ways to go before she would be able to be sold but big progress today. Also thinking about bringing my "trailer in a bag". If the bike sells that will go up for sale also.

Remember to contact Patrick at pdeason@outlook.com (soon!) if you want a booth space for NGW guys to congregate!

They just this week brought in gravel and graded the fairgrounds to make parking better.

Was in contact with him last week, we are good for a spot for NGW.




I will have some tables and chairs with me, and maybe a 10x10 tent. Possibly a cooler, although we will not have our "guard" for this event crying1 crying1 crying1

If NGW already has a spot, seems that would be a good place to swap parts. As far as I know there is no "booth fee" although donations are gladly accepted.

That reminds me, I need to wash and re-grease my trailer. I'll be going over Thursday (it's about 55 miles away), probably on my GL1800, to help set up and mark off the spectator motorcycle parking area by the entrance gate. Hope my daughter can join me Saturday, but it would be a long day for her.

Plan to hit the road about 2-3 AM Friday and shooting for a Noon or slightly earlier Arrival. Still have to get my little trailer down from the rafters and get it assembled. Going to get some more miles on the 75 today and make sure she is ready.
