Default Motorcycle Swap Meet/ Show

Has anyone ever been to the motorcycle swap meet at the Harrisburg, Pa, farm show building ? I don't know anyone that's been there and a web search just takes you to a shedule on the Syracuse Swap Meet website. They're having one in Harrisburg, Pa. this weekend and it's $15 each to get in. Is it worth the price and a three hour drive to see it ?

I was there a few years ago. It is around 40 minutes from me. It is a pretty nice swap meet, in my opinion. I had only heard it's gotten bigger. 3 hours......I would say it's worth that......but, not a mile more [8D]

Myself and a friend go every year. It is getting bigger and more crowed every year. I bougt a four channel luggage rack and road king pad for 100 bucks last year there. Perfect condition and wife loves it. It is one of those cash only shows for most vendors. I sqy it is worth three hours but get there right at 10 am. when it opens. The crowd builds fast.

Is it an "all used" flea market kind a thing or are there also vendors selling new stuff like Harley and Kuryakyn accessories ? I was hoping to see Wild1 handlebars there so I could try them for fit.

15 bucks? Too much. The swap meet I went to at the State Fairgrounds in March was $8. But then, this is Michigan.

Default Motorcycle Expo - Allentown

I'll be in Bethlehem area this weekend and see some kind of motorcycle expo scheduled for Allentown. Maybe I'll chekc it out but hate to spend $15 to save $2 on some carnuba wax!!. Maybe Im getting old (i am) but $15 seems like a lot of money when the goal is to get me to buy stuff. Sorry for ranting - beautiful day and stuck at work.!!

Thanks for the link Bigbender. I am only an hour east of Harrisburg and that webpage does not entice me that much.
Sunday's forcecast looks like low 40's and pretty breezey.
