Paula, No she does not, matter of fact Lee gave me my gremlin bell at Deals Gap. I have been riding for thirty five years and never heard the story about the gremlin bell. Until noticed a bunch of bikes at the rally with them so I asked Lee and he told me the tale. They need to be given to you that would make her day.  Jack, lets meet for breakfest some where for the hill climb on the 20th. sounds good.

Ok John now the hard part, there are 8 possible breakfast stops on 66 between Portland and Hebron that come to mind.
4 DnD, 1 Mcdonalds, and 3 mom and pop breakfast places.
Let me sugjest this.. Meet at the first mom and pop place,
If we dont like the look of it move on.
Place called "Eggs Up" in Portland its a small place right on 66 bout 300 ft past the Windchester Cafe. Now YOU pick a time.
Btw if anyone else wants to chime in adjusments can be made.

Jack,
How's 8:30 sound.
Ok 8:30... I dont know if you know the area at all,but
rt 66 truns into 4 lanes in portland then goes back to 2 lanes. Once it goes back to 2 lanes the Winchester Cafe will be about a 1/4 mile down on the left hand side. Easy to spot. It's a pretty popular hang out for the HD crowd but its not open that early. We'll be in the parking lot there.Place kinda sits there alone in the middle of nowhere cant miss it.
See ya sunday.

Yes Mrs Onei will be riding with me... She loves riding, but as of yet I cant get her to take the course and get her own bike. I'm hoping that if she meats more female "pilots" she'll become inspired. And sign up. Then I can fullfill my dream of setting up the BA as a solo ride.

Actually joined the BIA when I got my bike earlier this year. Will be at the meet on the 27th. If I'm headed down around 10:30ish I'll swing by the donut shop. There is a Dunkin around the corner for those that can't live without their fix.I'll be heading out of Worcester ( alias: Woosta , Wooosta,Worchester ,Wormtown ect...) for anyone coming through that may not know where they are going. And if you are in Worcester and left from Ct you are lost. Turn around.
My mind and body are still out of tune
I hope they run into each other real soon "

John, the parking lot of the Winchester on 66 is about the best unmissable land mark I can think of. So lets make it there at around nine.

Yep portland...once you cross the bridge in middetown you will be in Portland. Make sure you bare right at the first light after the bridge to keep on 66. At that point 66 will be 4 lanes. After about 3 miles 66 cuts down to 2 lanes.
Once it becomes 2 lanes the Winchester will be about 1/4 mile down on the left hand side at a fork in the road. really cant miss it. Kinda stands out there.

Not much else has been talked about, but i guess for me getting there will be the ride.
If you can find your way to rt 6 you could probly meet up with us at the intersection of 6 and 66, there's a 7/11 near there I could tell you how to get to.Or maybe try to hook up with Martin coming in from the north west,(If he's still going).

Hey guys, check out the last page of the "lurkers" thread. There's a guy named Chopperpaul who lost his brother two years ago. They both loved and build triumphs, and he is entering his brother's bike in the show! We gotta step up and try to meet him! I met him and his brother back in 02 on a ride when I first got my bike. I've seen some of the work he does! Great stuff. Hope we can find him!

Chopperpaul here,
I posted the other day regarding my twin brother's death and my work on his Speedmaster in preparation for the show. Kevin died the night before the 2005 Mass B.I.A. spring show. He was a devoted member of the club and a true friend to each and every member. ******,he was our lawyer. And he very much enjoyed this sight and you people. I look forward to meeting you guys(Benny,I remember meeting you)at N&J @10:30am,sunday and riding out to the show.
T.T.F.N., Chopperpaul
