Smile Swap Meet Gilly!

Ok here is the deal , i have a ton of used pocket bike parts that are not being used anymore , and know if offered the right price for them might convince me to sell other bikes as well.........

So ......

After thinking a bit , i thought of having a swap meet at one of our sunday runs or in my backyard one after noon .....
Custum could set up a booth of some sort , i will for river city , and one for my stuff , as for all of your the same ,.......... kinda of a gathering to shoot the poop , and an oportunity to buy the bike or part of the guy that has it ..if he is selling it .

WOULD ALSO BE COOL TO HAVE PICTURES WITH EVERYONE CHILLING WITH ALL RIDES AND GEAR .

Any thoughts ......
All you youngsters that need some help could get one on one !

Count me in. I have a cag has gotta go, so that would be a good time to find a new home for it. I'm always up for shootin' the shizz when it comes to PBs, and a chance to get rid of some spare parts is always good. Anything we can do to kick up interest is a great idea.

As I already told you, it's a great idea.

I would think that having the swap meet either after racing or instead of racing would be best. I would prefer the swap meet instead of racing for one day. We could also do it on a saturday too.

We could try and get everyone together and sell/trade some parts and show some examples of some parts that some may never have seen before.

Also, I can honestly say I have not talked to many of the people out at racing as much as I would like. Some days they're not there or there just isn't enough time. An afternoon bulls*** session would be a good thing.

What would make it even better would be if there was something free. Of course I can't speak up for everyone that would make a decision but it might be possible to use some of the money from donations and get some food that could be offered. Even if we got some food like they do at socials (meat, chees, pickles and bread) it wouldn't cost much and it might entice some more people to come out.

Of course we could do it in one of our yards (admit it, we got big ass yards) but we could also get a pavilion at one of the parks in the city and the kids could play in the fields or play structures. We could even organize a baseball or football game.

Of course doing it at a park means more space so people will be spread out, and that's what I would like to avoid so we can all meet and greet.

Those are my ideas, I'll leave it up to y'all to decide on what we are going to do.

I'm sure Kris and I have a bunch of stuff we could bring to put on a table.

admin... your a genius... but we need name tags that have our user names and our real names cuz I don't think we all wanna be called our user names ever time we go racing... like for an example, me... the people that know me call me FRIKIN... LOL so whats my real name? and the only person I hear that calls me by my name is Shawn
