      Always on the program for me and my guys and hoping one of our guys brings a bike to race that might generate a little more excitement. He hasn't raced in a while but was competitive in the modified class in AHDRA years ago ab=nd moved up to Pro Fuel. Hope he brings his modified class to make a few passes. We'll see.

          Some people ride in others bring their bikes. All very easy going. I love to return to Oley this year again. Try to come from Europe every year. Unfortunately I do not ride in :-)

            Might be wise to bring a jacket to Oley this year, still snowing in OH.

              Just a FYI ........ There's a new sheriff in town. The Central Berks Police Department is now covering the town of Oley. And there may not be as much tolerance for people riding their antiques on the streets without proper licensing and eye protection. Just a heads up so everyone enjoys the meet without making any undue contributions to the local treasury.

                I will be there too. I've been going to the Oley meet every year since the mid 80's.

                  I am not sweating the new police set up, they centralized the local forces into (1) unit. My little side hack is legal and not much of a speed demon either. Might drop the trailer at the grocery store lot and ride in, but only be there on Saturday

                    I always thought of Oley as being more of a museum, and not much of a swap meet. Good people watching, and a great bar near by

                        This thing was cool to see:crocker.jpg

                        Don't wanna think about what it might cost to get one, but I'm happy I finally saw one in real life!

                          Scuttlebutt Gov is...He was just offered 300K, but wants 500K. What a Crock-er!!!
                          Hmmmmm, i wonder if my 'Bigsby' Vibrato tailpiece gee-tars will jump in value, if the Crocker hits it mark?

                            Cool to see it no matter the price tag. I would love to ride one one time.
