Bonneville America Forums Forums General Motorcycle Forums Rides, Rallies, & Events NH RALLY 2008

Ok...
I have received several Emails, PM's, and Face to Face inquiries regarding the NH RALLY already, so here is the short list of details to date...

1st the dates are August 1st 2nd and 3rd with arrivals on Thursday expected and encouraged...

2nd the schedule is proposed as follows...

Thursday: arrivals
Friday: the long ride...Likely to be a Green Mountain run (but VERY subject to change at this point)
Saturday: the dealer ride...a trip to Second Wind Bmw Triumph where they will feed us and offer discounts on merchandise
(if there is enough interest I will speak with RJ's and arrange for a dyno day also)
Group feed on Saturday PM and "drive In Movie night"
Sunday: Departure

Patches and T-shirts are typically available (again based upon interest)

Lodging lists will be made available here in future posts...
head counts will be taken here so feel free to post and be counted...

in the last two years we have had Monsoons and high 90's and sunny so if nothing else we offer a good chance for you to ride in weather unlike any you may have ever ridden in before

Very likely my wife and will make it this year. If you don't mind us arriving on "The Gezzer"

I don't mind but the geezer might not want to carry two of you all the way from NJ...poor old guy his back just won't make it...

as always, ALL bike types are welcomed

I'd like to place a reservation for a 12x12 piece of ground.
Uncle Charlie

i will try and make it for the saturday ride again. i dont like rj anymore

Frank

I have a wedding to go to on the 2nd

Second Wind Bmw Triumph

Okay.. I'm in

Hmmm...I might be able to make that journey. Sign me up for my usual spot in the camper!

New Hampshire.



1700 miles. hum, thinking, computing, pondering...please wait while the synapses fire.

T R I P!

Okay then!

See y'all late July early August at Garden Drive.

Rob, my sincere apologies, but I forget where you are located. No, I will not search for it. Have to jump into a meeting. Help a brother out, please@!!!!!!!

Oak Dr @ Garden Dr in Litchfield, NH...not that I've been there in the past 2 days or anything

Im also going to reserve my camper spot, id also like to make a special request for a mid sized beer cooler to be placed in it so in the middle of the night we dont have to drag the big one down.

mid sized...like we're not going to be drinking much?

and please place it in an area where I won't land on it WHEN I fall out of the camper again!

I suppose I should define mid sized, it must be able to hold greater then or equal to 30 beers, preferably with a cup holder on the top large enough to hold a bottle of rumpleminze.

mmmm...I can picture it now. And it looks like styrofoam heaven.

like a stripper from the 70's full of potential and glamours in the begining but wasted and ruined by the end.

story of my life sister...

possible to be there, NH just next door!

IN

I'm in!

Rob,

I will only come if Uncle Charlie tells his bowling ball joke.

Are you still laughing about that? We had to stop every 15
miles on the way home for a laugh break! We didn't make
good time, but we sure had fun!

I'd appreciate it if my tent didn't get pi$$ed on this year,
Uncle Charlie

Charlie,

Martin and I had a good laugh at the GA rally remembering on ride home. I still start laughing just thinking about it.

I was going to bring my tent, but I will not need one I will just use Martin's he likes sleeping face down in the dirt or sleeping in a yard chair.

Thinking if we leave on Wed. morning switch off driving we should make it by noon on Thursday.

Can not wait to ride with you again buddy.

Looks like we got ourselves a rally!...looking forward to seeing you all again!

Reserving one lawn chair, or dirt puddle
Either is fine

the 'yute' tent

Im gonna try this year. sheesh I live here and cant seem to make it to the rally.

I would love to be there, but I will be somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Maybe next year I can make it. It would be interesting to checkout all my old stomping grounds in Portsmouth/Kitty, Rochester, Alton Bay and Wolfeboro. Also there are many really great hiking trails I would like to revisit.

Oh, well have a great rally!!!

Tom

i want to sleep in the castle! Be leaving wed the 30th bright and early. How quick do yall think i can get there?

It's only 1700 miles...I bet you can do it in a day!

Charile,

I'm thinking of trailering my bike, believe me I did the ironbutt with Rob and Lee to the GA. rally in 07 and even if you break it up it is still along time in the saddle. If Mark can not make it we could hook up somewhere either here in GA or the most direct line to interect load you up and drive up in comfort and be there on Thursday afternoon.

John

Hmm looks like I picked the right time to remember how to log into this place.

I'll be there +1 and I'd like to reserve a spot of ground for a tent, going back to the hotel every night made it hard to drink.

A friend of mine who rides a speed triple is planning on coming up too. He also needs a spot for a tent.

With all of the distance I have to cover I guess I can be there again this year . I don't know if I'll get away with bringing the big rig this time so may have to commute each night .

I'm in. Probably won't get there till Friday A.M. cause I start a new job on June 2nd. Already told them I need that Friday off. Still should get there before the yutes can focus their eyes tho.

Made it to the noreast in 23 hours last year. Hit a lot of construction and wasted a little time on an unsuccessful secret mission for reading material for Mark and Matt. I'm gonna shoot for 24 hours. Need to average little over 80 miles per hour while on the road and limit fuel stops to 10 minutes and it's all over but the crying.

I need some more reading material...mine's all faded out now.

OK, what does the Southern contingent's schedule look like? Do we leave on Mon the 28th or Tue the 29th? I need a NH rally patch and a long road trip on the speedy with my buds. Only problem I see is scheduling the time off of work and making sure I have my bike put back together (and running) in time.

Rob,

Put in and received the time off so I'm definitely coming.

John
