A little this...a little that. Sometimes good deals can be found...then there are times I'm overwhelmed by what appears to be nothing more than junk.

Oh hell yeah!!! They had a huge swap meet at the Pomona Fairgrounds right next to where the strip was for the NHRA Winter Nationals. Not only was it huge, they generally had some great deals on all sorts of things from apparel to parts and accessories.

My sentiments also. I've been thinking about buying a used tour pak and may check out the next swap meet.

Pretty sure that's the one they use to have at the Fairgrounds in Berea. But later in the year.

You can find some good deals later in the day, 'cause the dealers would rather sell than haul all the **** home again.

BTW, what dealer did ya get your X-Bones at? Did ya shop around at different dealers?

I stopped going years ago. If nobody on ebay wants it, you don't either.
