I went to a swap meet with Vincent yesterday. Expectations weren't too high, since the last edition was a bit of a disappointment (high entree fee, not many sellers and very high prices), but this edition was great.
 |
| This would be a great headlight for a steam punk bike.... |
 |
| Lots of junk, but very interesting junk none the less. |
 |
| Push bike with a shaft drive. Sweet! |
 |
| Lots of tanks to chose from |
 |
| A Heinkel motor scooter |
 |
| Ariel scrambler.... I want one! |
 |
| This kind of quality just can't be found anymore on anything that leaves a factory these days. |
 |
| Lots of handlebars, very cheap. So we bought a few to see what looks best on the SR500 |
 |
| Old school instrument for checking batteries. |
 |
| Boxes and boxes full of tacho's..... |
 |
| Very cool fuel consumption meter. I guess it was vacuum driven? |
 |
| 1937 Adler push bike with 3 gears. It had wooden fenders with a small logo of St Christopher on them (the saint that protects travelers). |
In the end we came home with a new brake switch for my CB, air filters for Vincent's Ducati and a lot of stuff for our next project, the SR500: 2 Sets of handlebars, a fuel tank, decompression lever, tail light and 2 headlights. All for very low prices. Nice.
leuke beurs ja! niets gekocht (m'n pa wel voor z'n mobilet)..
