Mid Ohio Vintage Motorcycle Days July 24-25-26

Always a good time.  I'll be camping with my yellow R5 and red Moped...

Anyone else planning?

It has been quite a few years since I have been there. I think it had rained on Friday and I was there on Saturday... swap meet was full of muddy trenches and golf carts every two feet it seemed.
Pretty rare there is ever anything I can find that I need, but it is fun just looking around .

I took a few years off myself.  In the past five years the event has really exploded.  Attendance seems way up.  Part of the camping area is a giant party.  I've been 8 times I think and yea, rain makes a mess.  I've been through dry years, wet years, and torrential years.  I gave up tent camping because I'm old.  Now I rent a Transit and have a hauler and camper all in one.

I rarely have anything I "need" to buy, usually stupid shit like a moped.  I keep an eye out for reasonable Irridiums, etc.  I usually spend hours going through stuff in the swap meet, which has grown to something like 800 + vendors???

Thankfully I've never been there for a full washout.  I always meet many many cool people and see all sorts of exotica.

I wanted to go again this year with my buddy, but we just had a new addition to the family and a well pump replacement/plumbing repair for $5,000 on top of medical bills. Basically, fun plans over lol.

I did the rental van thing when I took my Hayabusa to run Bonneville back in 2021. Put over 3300 miles on that poor thing...
It's definitely the way to go.

Any time you get near the salt it's best to use something you you don't plan on owning.

I've spent my fair share of time at Mid Ohio over the years. I have never made vintage days. My one buddy always camps and invites me every year. Maybe this year I will try for it. It's the week after the vintage grand prix in Pittsburgh, those two weekends usually overlap.
