Third annual Bennington Triumph Bash, June 4-6, 2010

[markbvt]

That's right kids, the Bennington Triumph Bash was such a success the first two years that we're doing it again.

Plans are quickly coming together, lots of people are already excited about it, and everyone with an appreciation for Triumph motorcycles is welcome, whether you actually own one or not.

It is difficult to consider this while I'm watching the winter olympics........

[markbvt]

Nonsense, haven't you noticed all the rain in Whistler?

I actually went for a 145-mile ride today. I declare this winter over.

Gold in tonight's women moguls. For the USA. Bronze too. And in men's short track speed skating another gold.

The Bennington Bash is as good as a rally can get. Last year Mark took us on a great ride through the Adirondack gaps. There's different rides for each level of rider. And of course Triumph riders are the best people around.

That was my friend Paul's cousin! His family must be so psyched.

And of course Triumph riders are the best people around.

That goes without saying.

Seriously though, the BTB crowd is an incredibly cool bunch of folks. There's none of the cruiser-crowd rally theatrics, just a bunch of really great folks riding together and enjoying each other's company. It would be great to get some NESRians to the Bash this year, whether you guys actually own Triumphs or not.

Does anyone know if that is the same weekend as all the graduations. Planned on going last year but couldn't find a place to stay except camp grounds a good distance away. Wouldn't have been bad but the forecast was calling for considerable rain, which apparently never happened. I met the guy heading it up at a track day. Really nice guy. Hope to make it this year.

[markbvt]

Graduations are usually done with by the end of May. The BTB is June 4-6 this year. Regardless, I would recommend making reservations sooner rather than later. We've got a block of rooms reserved at the Paradise Inn; info is on the BTB website.

The guy you met would have been Tito, whose screen name is TonUp on various other websites, funnily enough. There are three of us organizing the BTB -- Tito, Robin, and me.

ill deffinately be heading over there! this should be awesome!

[tonup]

Thanks for the heads up on the Paradise Inn. I haven't been to the BTB website for a while. Last time I logged on my computer went goofy so I bailed. Looking forward to it AGAIN this year.

[Dieseldan]

wow this looks interesting

[noodles44]

Dan I kicked myself in the ass last year for not going. Room share?

[markbvt]

Bump -- the BTB is in less than two months. We've already had one hotel fill up, so make your plans and get your room reservations now. Alternatively, there will be a whole bunch of us camping. Check the BTB website and forum for further info.

Hope to see a bunch of you there!

[JettaJayGLS]

Looks like a good time, I'll try to make it up there.

[markbvt]

Bump -- this is less than two weeks away!

I would be all about coming up with the 675 but I will be putting around Barber on an S1000RR.

[matts1050]
