I know I'm going out with my father, My buddy that just bought his 1800C is also planning on going, I'm not sure when we are going. I know we have a room at the end of the strip, when I get the details I'll post them here, at the very least it would be a place everyone can meet and drop off extra crap they don't want to carry around for the day, a good rally point for rides or breaks also.

[twisted-x]

Paul PM me with the details when you know when you guys are going to be here and I'll meet you in Lake George...mike

Sounds good I will be watching. Any of you go to the Blessing in Colebrook, NH the 3rd week of June?

Todd

[btalon]

I don't think I'll be around for the blessing this year, I believe that is the time I'll be in mexico. If i'm around I'll make sure to look you up, I'm not far off of route 3 - at intersection of 115 and rte.2

[toadleyb]

There is a group of us that goes each year. We stay right at the Lancaster Inn in Lancaster of course. We usually head up on Thursday and spend the weekend just cruising the area. Beautiful country you have up there in NH.

Todd

[btalon]

Roger that, I live in jefferson, the next town northeast of lancaster. If I'm around for that weekend I'll have to make it a point to hook up with your group.

[twisted-x]

[btalon]

Hey Roger, Leon, hope you had a good trip out to americade and back. Looks like you guys got better weather. I'm sitting here on the porch of the econo lodge, watching bikes go by in the rain. Starting to rain harder now, but all's well as it's not work and it's relaxing as hell!

[RogerBzVTX]

and drove out drank and partied like a couple of rabid dogs Saturday
Road around Sunday nuttin goin on and decided to bail early get home and take care of bidness..

[btalon]

LOL - at least you made it out. I'm having a blast, just came back to the room for a break, was part of a motorcycle stunt show. Actually I was the volunteer that had the trials guy do an bunny hop over me, jump me the long way and endo in between my legs, some people took pictures of it and I'll have to post them on here when I get them, was interesting!

On a side note, the weather broke this morning, we put away the rain gear and have been out riding off and on all day. Actually some sun was spotted in the area a couple times!!!!

[btalon]

Posted this in the general forum, but wanted to throw it in here also.

This was the view of Canada street from our porch.

We went walking down Canada street at night and these are some of the bikes we saw:

this blown vmax was denied entry due to it being too loud, but still is impressive. His wife also had a v-rod with a 300 rear on it, but she didn't even place, they found a bug on her radiator.

There were only 3 vtx's entered into the VTX contest. I believe the winner hails from Mass. His bike was very clean, not modified too heavily, but very clean and scored very high. I believe he got 147 points and the next X was 85. I hope I don't butcher his name too badly, it was Manuel Andrade.

I know it's all too good to be true, but there is always one bad apple in the bunch. We actually got to see a real, true, bonafide BAD ASS riding a bike during the whole event!
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/Btalon/americade2006/badass.jpg
I wonder if his mother knows he's a BAD ASS!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, these are the tamer pictures of the pretty vendors around for the show!
