The problem with biker swap meets!

I recently visited a biker swap meet held in a local park and was disappointed as a result! In a word, the event was totally disorganized, being little more than a few true vendors situated in a sea of flea market sites! There was no rhyme or reason to most of these either, being composed of people sitting next to a jumble of bike parts with no apparent organization as to what they were or what cost was being asked. (The sole individual that did seem to have it together occupied most a shed and was selling a deeply stocked inventory of leather goods, pins, helmets and other paraphernalia that are part of the biking experience. Kudos to him, although I never got a business card or even his name). Lastly, for an event where people are hopefully going to show up and spend money, I was fleeced for a $5 admission fee before even getting inside! I'm sorry, but that will be the last time I bother attending what is essentially a cluster fuck!
