little story about the gestapo they have patrolling at Rhinebeck. my friend was a  vender there 3 years ago(hes 78 years old).he has one of the largest vintage Harley parts store in the country(olddudevintageparts.com). well sunday at noon he packed up and was ready to leave for a trip back to Georgia. he got to the gate and the rental cops said he cant leave till the end of the day, when the swap meet is over. it got real ugly and he finally got out after an hour of fighting with these jerks. GUESS WHAT, HE WOULDNT GO BACK TO NY FOR NOTHING

I don't know what happened with your friend, but that has not been my experience at all.  I have nothing but good to say about the AMCA Rhinebeck meet.

Yes.  Have you been to the AMCA meet in Hebron?

August 1 and 2 this year.  This is a small meet.  Rhinebeck is 10 times the size and is worth the ride, IMHO.
