    Fifth annual Bennington Triumph Bash, June 1-3, 2012

    Hey all -- I'm a bit late posting this up this year, but the Bennington Triumph Bash is happening once again this June 1-3 in Bennington, Vermont. While it's a Triumph-focused event, you don't need to own a Triumph to attend. We're happy to have anyone who likes Triumphs.

    Here's where to find all the info:
    http://www.armchaircommando.org/bennington/

    Note that we're doing things a little differently for the Saturday dinner this year, for those of you who've attended previous years' events. We're going to need people to preregister for dinner so we know how many people will be showing up; see the Dinner page for details:
    http://www.armchaircommando.org/benn...sh/Dinner.html

    Hope to see some of you there!

    What's the Launch model? What makes it different from the ones sitting in so many of the other dealers? Don's a good guy, but there have been some service issues in the past. I hope they've straightened it out. Good luck.

    Hey Kenn...it's also about the Explorer...if you show up with it. If it's not ready, you seem to have a couple other Triumphs there that might enjoy the company. BTW, all of those farkles you've listed are in stock at many of the dealers as they're all dealer-added anyhow.

    It's okay, Kenn, you can make up for it by coming over for the whole BTB, not just a day trip! Trust me, you'll have fun.

    Only a month to go before the Bennington Triumph Bash! It's going to be a great time as always.

    If you're planning to be there, please preregister for the Saturday dinner. If you can't come up for the whole event, Saturday's the best day to show up -- either meet up with us in the morning and go on one of the rides, or just come to the dinner Saturday night. If you can stay the night, so much the better; groups of us always meet for breakfast Sunday morning before heading home.

    I'll be heading to Moto-market for coffee before we head up
    Usual 10am time
    If anyone wants to tag along that's cool.
    Nice backroad jaunt.
    Really enjoyed this last year
    Lots of rides to pick from and something for everyone.
