    Re: Twisted Throttle Open House May 18

    My wife is debating coming with me for the ride over. 100% serious question as she has zero interest in moto gear. "Will there be a dog there for me to play with? "

    There will be 1000+ adventure riders there with who knows what type of gizmo's on their bikes, to help start yours

    Once again, looks like the weather is perfect for this event. I'm waiting for my brother inlaw and nephew to show up, and I'm on my way.

    Nice to meet some folks who I only knew by member names before. Jane, Jeff, Rosco, the Kens, and others.

    Posted my vid of Teach's stunt show on the BMW S1000RR. (Vid when he was riding the GS did not come out well.)

    Great time, almost worth the slab there!

    Good to put some names and faces to screen names. I didn't end up purchasing anything. The stunt show was the highlight of the event for me, I ended up taking a ton of pictures:

    Re: Twisted Throttle Open House May 18

    Great meeting so many of you! Good time for me, though I also didn't buy anything because I was hoping to win something in the raffle. No dice.

    I did have a nice conversation with Jaynnus about her new Tiger 800, she's fallen in love with it. Nice to meet up with an old friend from way back in the SRNE days, Ed H on a nice ol' Ducati 900 SS. We shared cigars, staying away from people so as not to offend them.

    Another nice thing (for me) was to see such a great many Triumphs there! Our numbers are growing fast these days, save Sveesix who turned to the "Duc side".

    Great event as usual and nice to say hello to some old friends.
    It's always amazing to see the control and style Teach has with his bike, great show for sure

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    Re: Twisted Throttle Open House May 18

    Hi all. The open house was a great success. Thanks to everyone for coming. I met some of you and saw some I already knew. I also saw the Rhino-lined ZX6r but not its rider. Does anyone have any ideas of entertainment or events that we could add to make it better? Sorry, guns, booze, and naked chicks are not on the list of options.

    Kevin

    PS - Next year we won't have a conflict with LRRS or Whitehorse Press. We moved the Open House to the weekend before. See you next year on May 10, 2014!

    Great time and I met some great people. Had a pretty good view of the stunt shows from our booth too. Thank you to Twisted Throttle for letting us promote there.

    Saw your bike Kenn, but never saw you. Nice meeting you John and sorry for being responsible for you spending another $15!

    Had a good time. Will probably go next year. Was glad to see the Givi tent. The reps were able to tell me that the new Trekker Outback panniers are indeed coming to the US at the end of the year. Time to start saving!

    I had a hard time sticking around the zx6 too many bikes to check out and "Teach" put on a hell of a good show. I appreciate you guys taking the time helping me pick out the Interphone its been great so far. Definitely be there next year.

    Had a good ride with some of the twisted crew today. A riding buddy of mine ran a trip through nearby CT that met there. I had to peel off early but hope all enjoyed those roads. Skipped some good ones too but ya can't hit them all at once.
