Killington Classic

[Mr Bread]

This years Killington Classic bike rally is upon us. Starting tomorrow, Thursday the 4th and ending sunday the 7th. Killington's chamber of commerce took over the reigns from the kev-marv production guys this year. That means, more bikes, more venders, more rides, more crap to do ect...

They are still doing the 'parade' down to rutvegas, with a free ticket to the vt state fair.

Now the parade is fun, police escort ect... but as you know/guessed its mostly all crusers, going 30, all the way to rutland. But, like wheelies, burnouts and the vermonster at ben/jerry's , you have to try it atleast once for the experience!

It would be nice to get a group of us together to head over/down/up (wherever you are coming from) for the parade on friday, or even just head down for the festivities. The city of Rutland closes a few streets downtown and turns them into a massive motorcycle parking lot.

If its a long haul for you, and you would like to spend the night, i've got a guest room, couches, and lots of floor space.

Does no one work?

Does no one work?

I have only one response to that.

I'm in. I can ride 30 MPH to Rutvegas on 7 valves (although I'll hopefully have another rocker arm installed and be up to 8 valves by the weekend).

If you get something set-up, I'll show.

I mean free tickets to the fair is something I just can't pass up.

Is it Demolition Derby night at the fair also. ?

Turns out i'm working today and wont be out in time for the parade. I'll be heading down to rut-vegas for the gathering down there, then on too the fair! WOOHOO!

[kbroderick]

Anyone else thinking about the parade?

[contrldsub]

um... no parade for me but i may show up down that way saturday.

[kbroderick]

Well, I did elect to ride in the parade, and it was interesting (in a cool way, mostly, although the whole side-by-side riding thing kinda sketches me out, so I just dropped to a slight stagger on the guy next to me). There are definitely some cool bikes around, and there was actually another Ninjette in the parade (about five-ten spots behind me were a couple of folks who I talked to a bit while we were lining up; the guy had a green/orange race Ninja and the woman a 250 that was damn clean). Pics will be posted later, or maybe tomorrow.

That V-16 was pretty intense!
