Thousands of "bikers" and "wannabe bikers" will gather Sunday, March 15, 2009 at the I-X Center in Cleveland to buy, sell and swap motorcycles, parts, accessories and experiences from one of Ohio’s longest riding seasons in memory.
Spring is around the corner and bikers with cabin fever turning to Spring fever will arrive in droves clad from head-to-toe in leather and sporting bandanas, vests cluttered with pins collected from ‘rides' or events from across the country, T-shirts that make a statement or prove "I've been there and seen that," says event director Chad Dutmers.
Giant Motorcycle Swap Meets, for the past 34 years, are famous for offering "everything for rider or machine"...for men and women who love to ride motorcycles and the lifestyle...whether it's street, dirt or touring. The hard-core biker or the casual rider will find what they need and at "swap meet prices."
When riding season begins bikers begin the process of replacing worn, damaged or obsolete chrome, paint, seats, parts, tires and apparel. You don't find these items at the mall, you find them at the Giant Motorcycle Swap Meet.
“With nearly one out of every four bikers in the U.S. living in Ohio and the Great Lakes Region, the nine swap meets we sponsor give bikers the chance to be around other bikers and to support the economic interests that are vital to keeping the industry strong,” stresses Dutmers. “A lot of bikers started coming with their dads when they were kids. Now those bikers are bringing their own kids.”
The swap meet will feature the largest collection of motorcycle vendors under one roof in the Midwest. Cyclists attending will see new ’09 bikes as well as used bikes – street, dirt, metric, touring, cruising, trikes, choppers, custom bikes, and trailers.
Thousands of motorcycle buyers are expected to pack the 85,000-plus square foot exhibition area from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, March 15, 2009 at the I-X Center in Cleveland. Admission is $10 for adults and $3 for ages 6-12.
