The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

I was there last year, and plan on going again this year.
It was a good time.

Don't worry about moving in, I was in my house for 7 months before I got moved in. The only reason I finished the job is because I bought a bike that needed rebuilding so I had to clear out the spare bedroom. Put the moving in on hold and come out Ben, I need to give you your T-shirt.

I'm not worried about setting up, just literally moving out of my old place by the end of the month. The following weekend I am in VT, so these next two weekends are it!

90 percent sure I'm going. Uncle Charlie threatened to hunt me down like a rabid dog if I didn't show. Looks like about only an hour to an hour and a half ride. Tim or Paula give me a yell when you know your plans on attending.
My mind and body are still out of tune
I hope they run into each other real soon "

Yeah I think we will just miss it  . I can swing down 395 or 146 and meet up. Then we can go from there and hit Rte 66 at some point.

we both dumped or bikes with in 5 minutes of each other in Groton MA while trying to meet up with Brian. Luckly no one was hurt and both bikes are fine, a couple scratches and bent levers but overall not too bad.

No kidding!!! I almost dumped on the way to that Norton thing we all went to. When we stopped to meet Big Poppy, I foolishly parked on sand, my foot slipped a little when I was getting back on the bike, almost dumped...

After Tim picked up my bike, I said to him that it was good that we got our bad ju-ju out of the way before the NH rally.

The important lesson here is...
Groton MA sucks

I'd like to try and make this event. If you & Paula meet up in R.I. and come across rt.6 into Conn. I could meet up anywhere along that route. I'll keep checking in to see how the plan unfolds.

I'll sure try to get there, but since I left my job, my calender is now entirely within my meager & CRS afflicted mind. There's something about plans with my wife for the 19th that I may have to pretend to remember when it's mentioned again, (you married men know what I mean) or maybe not? Time will tell.

If you want to travel from Woodstock through Millerton, NY to get there, I'll ride with you. I live a little ways off route 44 just over the CT border.
I have to drive my daughter to BDL for a 7:00 am flight on the 19th, so I'll be back home around 8:30. An 8:30 or 9:00 am departure from my house would put us in East Hampton by 10:30, which could allow a breakfast stop at Toymakers.

Yeah, I can't make it to that, I have to spend my saturday fixing the things in my friends house that my dogs chewed up while we were in NH like the window sill, the door, the door jam... not my idea of fun but I can't get out of it.

Bud- Tim's PMed you....we could meet up, but need to know if you're in. We're meeting at about 8:15 AM along 295 to head down to Rte 6. Give one of us a shout, OK?

I got home safe and sound. Rolled my bike into the garage
at 6pm, just as the rain was starting. Had a great time,
good to see everybody that made it. Spread the BA.com word,
and I think I got us at least one new member.
What'll we do next?

Hey Matt,
We got a late start, after celebrating Martin's 50th last night.
We didn't roll in untill around 2:30.
Dang, I had your NH shirt with me.
I heard Gengras is doing FREE Dynos next weekend?????
Maybe I'll hafta drive your shirt up there so I can verify
the NH results, and quiet the naysayers.

Home again. just rolled in after dropping the bike off. Great time,beautiful day with hundreds of bikes. Heard someone say the blew the old attendance record away with 1600 people in attendance. Tim entered his bike in the late model category. Sorry no prize for a BA member yet. Met up with Paula,Tim,Matt,Jack and his wife. Late attendee's Uncle Charlie,Martin and his wife. Martin sure looks a lot older now after the big 50th b'day bash.Almost didn't recognize him. Charlie said he met CTmike just as he was leaving. Looking forward to the next "whatever,wherever" when we can get some BA members together again.
