4 Wheels? Huh?
It'd be cool to do that I think.... only draw back would be space hauling things out and back and time to "sit" with your merchandise. I know there's some "virtual" swap meeting going on just from people bringing what other's need, etc. Personally, Trikefest is about riding the trikes more than digging though parts... (I know.... I did more wrenching than riding it felt, but that wasn't by choice! hhaha)
...OR we could just did something like that on a "regional" level. You know... an OH one at Howdy's... a NY-Northern PA one at my farm, etc....

I think Trikefest is more about enthusiast getting together and celebrating a common interest; 3 wheelers. I say if there is enough interest in swap meet then it should happen. Not everyone is going to want to hag out at the MX track, the drag strip or “Devils Backbone”. I know I’d probably buy some parts I need if I saw them. This is one of those things that we don’t need room for in the schedule. A “trailer” sale can happen anytime.

it would work. we should set up an hour period in each day or maybe on day for it. so if people do need parts for instance me it would be nice i think we should

It sounds like a great idea. How ever it is not very practical. Would you want to sit in one spot while every body else is riding. i know I have not attended Trifest yet, but I do know how much I love the feel of handlebars. Why not just bring a parts list and and have a common area where it is posted with every one elses? Just a thought to work with.

I think some of you are taking this way too serious, lol. Nobody would be forced to sit in a swap meet against thier own will. If you'd rather be riding then don't sit there and sell parts. It doesn't get any easier.

thats a good idea also,i would feel better meeting the person with the parts,and then buying them later.rather then only chating through the web before a purchase.what if we got together at the dinner and had a auction or a place to set up parts so while we were eating you could browse the selection?then noone would miss out on riding,we all would be in the same general area anyways,maybe that would work.well
like i said,i don't know if it's worth the hassle,but if you come home with that part you've been needing for a great price and no shipping it may be worth it.lets see what tim,howdy,honda atc, and the other board members think of the pros and cons and go from there.thanks for the input so far.

I have some parts I am ready to just throw in the dump, sick of them sitting around. How about I just put them in a big box with a FREE sign on them, and I sit back and watch who gets it first.
Give me no lip and I tell you no lie.
