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

[markbvt]

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:

Hope to see some of you there!

Got the "Launch model" on order from where else? Great Bay of course.

[SprintPoser]

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.

sorry Mark this thread is about the Bennington Bash, not about the Explorer.

[SprintPoser]

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.

[Kenn157]

The launch model are factory installed

[Kenn157]

From Motorcycle USA
Our test model was equipped with the “Launch Package” which has a list of accessories that come factory installed, including: Engine bars, aluminum sump guard, adventure hand guards, heated grips, fog lights, high touring windscreen, rubber tank pad and tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

sorry Mark this thread is about the Bennington Bash, not about the Explorer.

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.

Nice backroad jaunt.
Really enjoyed this last year
