Walneck’s Motorcycle Swap Meets
St. Charles, IL
Buzz and Pixie Walneck started their classic motorcycle business in 1978 and put out a flyer on what used parts they had for sale. It eventually grew into Walneck’s Classic Cycle Trader magazine. They started putting on a motorcycle swap meet at Santa Fe Speedway in Chicago right around 1980. It’s grown steadily since then and now Walneck’s promotes 16 motorcycle swap meets per year in the Midwest area. You’ll find new and used parts for American, British, Japanese, and Euro bikes.
