2018 Spring Memory Lane Swap Meet

[Flat Tire]

The sad part for me is all the great friends I've made at ML. It's the only swap where I see most of them, so I may never see some of them again, as I've stopped going to other swaps. Oh well, they were a bunch of clowns anyway! Haha! But I'll sure miss 'em.
Hell a couple of them saved my life once, when I got drunk and fell in the bonfire, ha! I won't be missing that part of the swap! Lmao

Reading about Memory Lane closing is a bitter pill to swallow, but when you look at all the great pix that have been posted of past meets, that is when it REALLY HITS YOU. The fun times at this great location will take place just once more, and I will be there , but with a heavy heart.

For a lot of us, this has been a yearly tradition for 20 years or more.... I for one am hoping that it will continue on in a new location.

This is not 100% accurate. The building has been sold, but Harv and Lisa are considering their options as far as keeping Memory Lane open. They may find another location. As far as the meet goes, it is still on at the current location. The new owner of the building is welcoming the meet this year, and most likely more meets in the future. He is an advocate of Grand Rapids and wants to keep the tourism coming in.

Let's make this meet a great one!

Curious on how other from California make this trip. Do you fly and if so into where or do you drive? I'm trying to figure out a way to get this year and am curious on what works out best. If you fly, how does packing/shipping bikes back home work? What are the best days to be there if you can't be there for all days?
