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

[SprintPoser]

Mick,

I'll meet you somewhere along the way, and enjoy the ride up from there. I can't see me heading northeast to MM only to turn back heading northwest to Bennington. Give me an idea of your planned route from MM to Bennington and I'll intercept somewhere along the way.

PS - I should change my avatar photo soon!

Bump -- this is in TWO WEEKS!

I know a bunch of NESRians are showing up... hopefully a few more will decide to come over.

Reminder: we need people to preregister for the Saturday dinner. More info here:

Kenn and I will be in attendance.

[Kenn157]

Yup we will!

[markbvt]

I don't see dinner registrations for you guys yet though, unless you did it under someone else's name...

[e30addict]

Ha!

[Kenn157]

Done! One for me and one for Botto.

[zombie]

are we there yet?

[SprintPoser]

I'm really looking forward to riding with you once again Mick, it's been far too long!

[markbvt]

Looking forward to seeing all you guys there. For those I haven't met yet, find me at the Meet & Greet on Friday.

Three days!

[Kenn157]

Looking forward to the "adventure"!

Bump -- this is THIS WEEKEND! If you're planning to attend and haven't registered yet for the Saturday dinner, please do so now -- the prereg system closes down tonight.

[SprintPoser]

Regrets, but I'm with some others in not doing the buffet.

Everything else, I'm in. I'm looking forward to meeting you Mark. I can explain the dinner thing then, should you care to hear about it.

[PainfullySlow]

Wish I could make it Sadly my time is already committed this weekend. Have fun, ride safe, and hopefully I can make it up there for next year.

[zombie]

see youse guys 10am at Moto-Market

[sveesix]

Hopefully we luck out with weather, because camping in the rain is a mess.

[SprintPoser]

See you at 10:00 Mick!

It does look like we're likely to have a wet Saturday. That's not uncommon in VT this time of year, and the reason why I opted to take a room at the Paradise. I don't mind the opportunity to test my new Goretex gear nor do I mind riding in rain, but camping is out for me. I'm too old and soft and like to sleep dry.

[markbvt]

I'm at the campground now, and the weather is spectacular. But yeah, it's supposed to turn wet tonight. Oh well, it figures. We've never had a Bennington Triumph Bash where it didn't rain.

See you guys later today.

Hey Kenn!

Did you make it up here or not? I'm at the Paradise Inn, no Tiger Explorers here. Are you staying at the campground?

Just a few spits of rain so far, though tomorrow may be quite different.

Mark, where is the Saturday dinner, and can I still attend I'd I can talk my friends into it?

I'm with Kenn at the Best Western. Rain is about to start any minute.

[SprintPoser]

I hope its a good single malt!

So why are you guys at the Best Western when Mark had setup good rates here at the Paradise? Lots of Bon

[Kenn157]

No room at the Inn... And yes single malt Glenlivet.

[SprintPoser]

When I checked in today they told me they still have plenty of rooms.

God love it, Glenlivet! I prefer MacCallan 12yr myself.

[SprintPoser]

Great time guys! Wish Saturday wasn't such a washout, but it happens. Zombie & I tried, but turned around after just ten or fifteen minutes because the water was creeping up my sleeves.

I know heated grips and a few other farkles are going on this bike soon. I had those on my last two Triumphs, and if your hands are going to be soaked it might as well be with warm water.

Perhaps next year you'll consider booking at the Paradise?
