Vintage bike meet or show?
I'm sure this year was a write off for such events but does anyone know of any large group meets, conventions or rides where people show off their vintage bikes? I know where I live (Toronto area) there are a couple of vintage bike shows with vendors selling bikes, parts and anything related which attract a relatively small crowd usually located on a big property or field but just wondering if there's an event bigger than that?
Specifically targeting the Northern US states or in Canada?

You will likely get many more responses on the Classic and Vintage forum.
