Anyone planning on going this year? Second week of June by lake George. I am planning on riding the nice roads to it and spending a few days there.

[Ken C]

I'll be there.

I'll be there as well. I will be leaving out of Newton on that Thursday!

Most likely will make a day trip over and back with the crew.

Keep me in the loop, I've never been. I wonder if I could demo an 1198 and RSV4

You have to get there very early to reserve demo rides.

I don't recall Ducati or Aprilia ever doing demos up there, and I don't see them on the list this year. But there are plenty of other mfgs to keep you busy, trust me.

We showed up to Ft William Henry at 8:00, and were surprised how long the lines already were. But you'll get quite a few rides in if you plan it right. Just don't expect to show up at noon and hop on anything. I hit the Victory, Triumph, Suzuki, Honda, and Kawasaki trucks all in the same morning. Try to get to the 'exotics' (BMW, KTM, Triumph, etc) early, those fill-up really quick. The Harley and Yamaha trucks were out on Canada St, so those rides were free, but you still need to get to them pretty early.

Good info, but I was kinda sorta not being too serious, I knew about the lines and standing in them isn't something I'd want to do. I haven't looked at the website yet, but don't remember Ducati or Aprilia being there in the past, a few years ago when a friend and I thought of going. All I could find that would interest me for rides back then would have been an R1 and a ZX-10.

I'll have to find demo rides elsewhere for the sketti rockets.

I am also leaving from Newton, but probably will take off on Monday and return on Friday.

Ken: I'll try to make it to your talk this time!
