flea mrkt/rummage finds

 So I had a couple bucks in my pocket last week, and went carousing at the local flea market after which I stopped at a rummage advertising "fishing and tools" I think I did pretty good. It never hurts to have an extra seat lying around and now I can get mine recovered.

 A set of bars, old luggage rack ( hmmm, Triumph Project), a beat up license plate mount and you can never have enough gun locks.

 

 I fell in love with these 1938 Chevy tail lights, he was selling them as a set, but as you can see the lenses don't match, I don't care, these are going on bike projects anyway.

 

miscellaneous tools, never owned drill bit stops, didn't make much sense to me, but at .25 cents each who could say no.

 

some sweet Craftsman chisels, the guy took care of his shit, good shape and sharp

 

doweling jig, in original box all parts present, damn I may have to take up wood working

  

fixture to hold corners together for framing and box making...

 

 and finally assorted taps, with tap wrench and a glass cutter

there was also a throttle cable and assembly for 7/8 bars, needed one so what a coincidence and other pieces, parts.... all and all I spent less than $75.00, so I call that a good weekend, now back to the projects...

Midland Swap Meet

 So, you would think up here in the great white north, with our short riding season, that a small business motorcycle parts store wouldn't be feasible, but I know a guy named Bubba, who shows that not only can this be done, but it can be done while helping the community also. Every year Bubba's raffles off a new motorcycle for Camp Fish Tales, which is a barrier free camp for individuals with physical or developmental disabilities and this year it is a new street glide.

 

one of Bubba's helpers polishing the bike for show at the swap meet, sharp looking bike just follow the instructions above to get your tickets.

 

The "gentleman" in the middle is Bubba, and like at all swap meets the Bubba kissing booth was open for business, I've personally never received a kiss from Bubba, but these customers seem happy.

  

some advertisement disguised as a swap meet picture, for you Bubba.

  

I've personally ridden with Mr Cobb here and he is straight up and down home, not to mention his lady friend can really cook up a meal, thanks for having us over Cobb, rubber down and hope we can do this again some time. 

 

 

I did not stay for the whole event and these pics were stolen from Bubbas site 

(I forgot my camera)

but here are a few of my favorites from the show, attendance seemed pretty good, with lots of vender's and live music. The weather was good, not great, but not terrible either. take a look and enjoy.
