Webster Motorcycle Swap

November 1/15   Weather is record setting hot.  90+

The first Sunday of every month the little town of Webster has a motorcycle and auto swap meet at the flea market grounds.  It is also the time change of falling back an hour so when we think its 10 in the morning, it's actually 9 am.  This will work for us with the heat at record setting temperatures we are going to the swap meet as early as we can to survive walking around in jeans and biker boots.   When you pay to park you get a ticket for a refreshment - water, pop or beer.    We pulled in about 9 am and there were all kinds of guys walking around with a beer!!!  Ha, ha.  I texted my brother about beer at 8 am and he said "that's the way life should be".  He is such an old biker.


Where do they get all these parts????
Do we need anything?
Oh yes, Billy has been looking for a set of used hard bags to switch out on our Road King,,, and the best price we found in Ontario was $750.   Our current bags are black leather and if we could find a set that would fit on our mounting rails we could take them home and in the spring and have a body/paint shop fellow match the black cherry paint of our bike. 
Oh crap.  Billy is finishing the negotiation.

The bags fit our bike so we are piling them on the luggage rack
So now how do we get them back to our campground???  Bungee cords are Red Green's answer to Duct Tape.  What a scoop, and we got them for half the price.
made it back to the RV site
