This year's upcoming show will be held on Sunday, April 30th 2006.

Who's going?

Make sure you pick up a Bighouse shirt while visiting Ann Arbor, Randy!

I'm in. My buddy & I are going and my son will have his trike/chopper in the show as well.





Are you just coming down for the day?

As of today (April 22) I have every intention of going.

Are you driving down Randy?

What time will you be there MCM?

Because we have bikes in the show, we'll be there like a half hour before the show actually starts, and stay all or most of the day.

How 'bout you?

I gotta make a whirlwind trip out of this to make it happen. I'll be leaving Traverse City around 10pm Saturday night, arriving around 2-3am. Probably sleep in the car near the event for a few hours, take in the show, leave for home by noon Sunday.

Thats a grand idea Jeff, a bighouse shirt would nicely line my cat litter box....

Randy, your'e welcome to crash at our place if you like-we're about 30 minutes away (at least at that time of the morning).

You sure? I'm arriving late.

I'l contact you soon.

Well, Ann Arbor is about a 90 minute drive for me, I would probably be there EARLY because my nephews Communion in that afternoon/evening.

I would expect to be there between 8am -8:30am.

I hope to bump into you guys.

"Bighouse".............

That is the name of my bathroom. Nothin' like takin' a Big Ol' DUMP in the Bighouse.

Randy, any time is fine-I even OK'd it with the wife.

-Dave

alrighty, i bring some bmx stuff to sell with my usual stingray goodies. see y'all there!

Nice to see you again Randy, would have enjoyed chatting more, but I understand that you were "on the hunt".

Dave - nice to meet you and your son as well. This man is a real fast-talker...he asked one guy "how much for the bike stands"? The guy replied "$5 a piece". Before I could even open my mouth, Dave was riding away with 'em. (LOL j/k)

George Ferguson - nice to meet you as well. Very pleasant guy to shoot the sh!t with. I could have talked for hours. Like I told you...I'll be in contact to bug you about 'what we were talking about'...maybe I can persuade you to sell!

I had a really nice time at this bike show. I was very surprised at how large the show was. Lots of Schwinn, lots of TRUE vintage bikes, little BMX, but it was a very fun and interesting experience. Cool to meet some V-Boys as well.

Little BMX?

1 1974 Yamaha Moto Bike $180
1 nos Haro flo-panel, black $1
1 nos Addicks spider, blue $10
1 Carlise Aggressor, barely used, not cracked $20
1 nos 1976 Schwinn Ashtabula single stem, $5
1 nos 1976 Schwinn Scrambler front wheel, $5

$231 lighter but I found it

Sorry I was short with everyone, had to return home quickly today. Next time = beers afterwords!

Patrick, thank you. George, Tom, Dave, Scott, Dugan, nice to see you again.

It was good to meet/see you guys again too.

I think what Tom meant to say was there was little BMX left after Randy went through! I'm pretty sure that guy with the raw $2,000.00 (or was it $2,000,000.00?) Quadangle frame ended up taking it home.

There were some deals to be found, but you had to dig deep to find them. I think I ended up spending about $25 total including a good used red MX 1000 caliper for $1 at the end of the day (and the wheel stands of course!). I'm sure there was other stuff out there, but I was enjoying riding around with my son more than anything. We must have been asked a couple dozen times "wanna sell that thing?", but nobody followed up with any cash (not that any of us wanted to sell them anyway).
