This Friday and Saturday was the yearly vintage motorcycle show and swap meet held at the fairgrounds in St. Paul Mn.
Over 100 vendors on the swap meet grounds.... I scored a powder coated battery box, fork seals and a headlight for a XS.. total.. $5.oo. No rollers..no complete XS units and very few parts.
Bikes on display (177) and other vendors inside the building. The green Yamaha got best in the Yamaha class. Photos include all of the XS units that made the show.

The VJMC hands out large wrenches as awards in each class. The wrenches have the size and other lettering removed.. then chromed and laser etched with the award class. The large adjustable wrench is the Presidents award and given to best in show.

Saturday awoke with big thunderstorms which didn't help the vendors. Friday was perfect weather. The Cushman dealer sign.... nice, double sided.. lighted... $5800.oo.

Thanks for the pics.
I am curious about the bike in picture #2, the yellow and black XS650 hard tail. Looks like the builder went with a speed-hole theme -- there are even speed holes in the outer rim of the wheels. Do you have a detail pic of the engine? It looks like he put speed holes in the cylinder and head fins.

I like the doughnut in the cop bike toolkit...

I didn't take detail photos.. sorry..... and I placed a fake donut in the first aid box because.. first time I show'd the bike.. a " buddy " put a real one in there..... by the way... the cops love the donut in the box.

In the same picture, the 3rd bike back looks just like my 1st motorcycle, a 1967 305 Yamaha.
