fyi, I'll be there to sell/swap a few parts and gear. The text below is from an email I received.
-------------------------------------------------
DESMO is proud to announce our Fifth Annual Swap Meet, which will be held in conjunction with European Cycle Services' Open House on Sunday, May 17, 2009, in Middletown, NY, from 10 am to 4 pm.
Clean out your closets and garage tonight, pack all that excess stuff up, and send in your payment. It's only $5 to set up a table and sell. Raise some cash with no eBay fees and no shipping hassles. (It's free admission to shop or browse.)
If you have questions or want to set up a spot for the swap meet, please email us here swapmeet@desmoducati.org. Payment must be received by Saturday afternoon.
There will also be a bike show, $25 dyno runs, bike & rider portraits, food, and a huge raffle. For more information on the Open House, please visit ECS on the web at www.europeancycleservices.com (//http://).

ECS has a large tent, and the building will be open, so there will be plenty of shelter if we get hit with a passing shower. Many of the sellers will also have pop up tents, keeping the merchandise dry.

I will be there to pick up my friend's monster so most likely cage in my beat up tundra pick up. >:(
I guess I should stop by ATM on my way!
noo why this sunda of all days? why not next sunday? :(
got there a little late. Terry loves taking wrong turns I purpose I swear lol.
Event was really fun. Ran into lots of friends. They had the dyno going. Barnstormers had a BBQ going!!
And the shop was turned into a photo studio so you can get professional shots of your ride for free!! VERY VERY COOL!!
It will take a few days before they're posted up and we can see them. I won some stuff from the raffle, even something I didn't even know I entered lol. I got a set of ratchet straps and a fender eliminator kit that Terry eyed for his Monster.
here's some random shots I took during the afternoon
