    Hebron last year probably had 20-30 Vendors and there was a lot of nice stuff for sale. DanM has worked hard to keep this meet alive since we lost our National Meet Status to the Rhinebeck Consolidation. I'll be there Friday and have some wanted and for sale stuff listed under the For Sale Section. Thanks again DanM for keeping this meet alive. 46EL

    Been there once, cause it is quite a drive from SC. Great people that make you feel at home. Wouldn't hurt to bring mosquito repellent if you camp out, those suckers are hungry.

    We've grown the meet over the past few years and exceeded 60+ vendors last year. I know this is a modest meet, but the more of you that come, the bigger it will be. so don't be scared off! Last year we had some guys come all the way from PA, and they found a bunch of nice parts they were after, so you just cannot say.

    We have nice riding roads near the meet, so you can always jump off. But we do have the 10-12 mystery ride on Saturday, and that is worth the trip up! We've got a little cookout Saturday after the meet closes, and you are all welcome to stay over and head out Sunday.

    hope to see you here!

    Just got back from Hebron. Hats off to the Yankee Chapter for a job well done. Talk about a mellow day in the country side. I just kick myself in the ass for not showing up yesterday morning and vending. I want to support the local chapter meets and I will be there next year. Hoping to see some familiar faces at Brookfield next month. Thanks for a great day out of the ghetto guys. Bob L

    I was there for 2 days and bought almost a pichup truck load of stuff. Lots of nice Knuckles running around along with some neat Indian Chiefs. DanM needs to be thanked by anyone and everyone who vended there for FREE this year. There were probably as many vendors as when it was a national meet. There were FOUR Neracars there by chance and a nice rebuildable basket sold. Thanks again Dan for the Bacon and egg sandwich, John P.

    I would like to thank everyone who came to the meet, displayed their bike, and had fun!

    We grew our vending base again for the 4th year in a row.

    We had over 50 bikes on the Saturday morning ride, which is an outstandning feature of our weekend.

    Its a little early, but you are all invited to our National Meet in 2012!

    Thanks to Dan and all the Yankee Chaper members who put on a nice meet. I had a great time talking and riding antique motorcycles. I brought a load of parts to sell, but never took out a single part out of the truck because I got too involved in the fun stuff. A National will be a great way for more members to see what a well organized and laid back meet this is, and should help grow the future of the meet. I forgot to bring a camera, does anyone have pictures they can post?
