**Hurricane Coaster Swap Meet & Show-February-Charlotte**

[DonChristie]

Maybe an odd question here, is it known if they have free wi-fi in the building?

We had it last year because we used surveymonkey to vote. Not doing that this year. Not sure what we will have.

Love the pictures guys! Is anyone bringing any prewar Schwinn's to the sale? Thanks,
Stephen

Hello Stephen, I just loaded a 1940 Schwinn D97X but I built it with somewhat of a Custom Touch ... Look for me at the show/swap tomorrow ... the Schwinn was powdercoated a bright Red/Orange and it has Cream Darts on the frame and Cream FELT 50mm wide rims with made-in-USA Schwinn Typhoon BW brick tires.... skip-tooth with a New Departure rear CB .... a very clean looking Hot Rod bike
See you tomorrow morning! Cheers! CCR Dave

A great show today. Set up with my friend Wayne and we had a good time talking to everyone and even sold a few things! I gotta give a shout out to teh Hurricane Coaster crew--Don @DonChristie, Scott, Doug for setting everything up, getting sponsors, advertising and everything that makes a show work. A huge shout out to their better halves Carol, Becky and her daughter, and Lauren who handled all the vendors, show registrations, and counting of ballots. I am remiss that I did look at the best of show bike but didn't have my camera so hopefully someone else will post Doug's outstanding custom. His attention to detail on builds is impeccable and always a clean, tasteful result. Congrats to all the show winners. It was a tough field in all caltegories as some really great bikes were brought out. Great talking to everyone @onecatahula @Classic Cool Rides @The Carolina Rambler @Phattiremike @auto1cycle2 @Oilit @badbob @Howard Gordon @Colby john @jimbo53 and everyone else I saw and spoke to today. V/r Shawn

Had a great time at the show! Always good to see old friends and make new ones. A big shout out to the Hurricane Coaster show organizers Scotty, Doug, and Don (and their wives and girlfriends:eek! The help by everyone loading in and out was tremendous and helped saved this old guy's back.

There were some excellent deals to be had and many booths were quite busy mid-morning. There was also the frenzied last minute deals before things got snagged or packed away. I also scooped up a couple of sweet things for my stash (which are still boxed up).
