Latest News From The World Of Vintage Motorcycling

Welcome to Classic Events and Classic Swap Meets! We’d like to be your home for the latest news from the world of vintage motorcycling. In addition to information on our own events and activities, we will provide the most complete calendar of vintage motorcycling events in North America. Calendar listings will be free to any vintage bike club, organization or promoter. We will refrain from listing charity rides and poker runs, unless they are vintage specific. Vintage competition events are welcome. If it’s vintage bike related, we’ll run it; if it isn’t, we won’t.

Along with the Vintage Calendar, we will feature news from the vintage bike community, stories about the personalities in the old bike world and even some how-to articles. The plan is to have new updates daily, but at first there may only be a couple each week.

Thanks for visiting!
Will Stoner
