NEVER go to this show!!! I read some posts for the following years from some DTTer's discussing this show. I wish I had never read them, then I would not have gone. Basically it was 50 tables with trash all over them and hicks wanting top dollar for it. Example: Enough Hex bolts for a side cover for the low low price of $110.00. If I was a dirt biker then perhaps I would have found something, but as for Cb's NOTHING. Oh well, Road trips are always fun none the less.
 
I tend to disagree. There was a nice mix of English and Japanese parts there. I saw some CB parts but CBs are not the only bike to own or cafe out. One must go to swap meets big and small to find to things and sometime you strike out, sometimes hit it big! Maybe Mid Ohio or the VJMC meet at White Rose would be better for the CB bikes. Try Geno's Cycles in Philly 215 739 5847. They are friendly and have a nice Jap bone yard.
 
I disagree also. The PVR's put on a decent show for only $5 admission. I was looking at a real nice cb tach for only $5. I bought a solid qa50 gas tank for only $15 in the parking lot from an overflow vendor and a real nice used dual sport tire for my KLR for $5. It's a swap meet bro, if you don't like sombody's prices move on or dig through some crates to find a deal.
 
I'm Glad you were able to find something useful at a good cost. I however found the show to be different. Do you really think I drove 9hrs and didn't look through every %$#@'N crate. Common buddy.
 
I was also not impressed. I'm not really a dirtbike guy and I wish it was advertised as mainly a dirt bike swap meet. I think next year I'll take all the boxes of spares from my garage and hopefully people like us will be there and get things they need.


Good stuff I found-
The guy with the 2 cb 250s for $250, it was very hard for me not to buy them.
$3 cables that were new or like new
I bought 2 sets of new CB350 points with condensors for $10
HD/Aermacchi SX175 for a good price..I can't remember how much
 
found a few things, wasn't worth the drive though.. too many knobby tires and plastic fenders for my likings.. there were some nice custom scoots though.
