Long Beach Motorcycle Swap Meet - May 24, 2015 (Sunday morning)

Regional Airline started in North Carolina, started after WWII.  Eventually merged with US Air.  This porcelain sign appears to be pretty old and is about a foot across...

Triumph Side Cover...

I actually need these for my 70's Titanium bicycle (made by Teledyne in Gardena, CA).

The old Hot Wheel on the right is an Isuzu Vehicross.  It's actually a very well done model of a very strange vehicle (that Isuzu should never have built...  They sold very few and probably lost money on...).
