Thanks for posting, can I ask was all the bikes on the video for sale or just on show ?..I am into any thing vintage/ classic to do re motor bikes.I have three bikes but sadly back in storage in shed we put up at daughter property south of Perth. Gear for these type of bikes is drying up,last time we went to the Bendigo swap meet proved that as it is classed as the biggest in Oz and compared to the few other times we have attended the gear was so much less.

One of my sons is into restoring old dirt bikes,last count I think he said he had 19...He takes them to the show and shine shows all over the country...I recon that is just burning money doing that as all he gets at the end of all of this is a trophy to gather dust on.

D and D,thanks for improving the link.
Most were for sale.
The Historic Motorcycle Club of Queensland hosts the swap meet.
The pair of 40s ariels & 2 street fighters were on show.
The rest for sale.
Previous years the show was at a nearby town of Gatton & nearly twice as big.
Too many other things going on at Gatton this year, hence the forced change.
People would fly over from NZ for the weekend.
But yes, those hard to get bits are only getting harder to get.
