I'm in, but will be arriving on a non-Triumph*. Had to sell my beloved to keep the tax wolves at bay. 1099 work vs. hand to mouth and a house built when a 6 figure income was happening = how the Hell does one "put away" X each week when there is no X to spare? Anyway - that's not the end of the world, and on to more important business:
Biker Ed is a maybe for attending. He will indeed attend if his schedule will allow.
Now the challenge - Getting Uncle Charlie out of his comfort zone and up on the saddle to attend. I would suggest a barrage of emails to get him in the Bennington groove.

will do it.
I will be leaving out of NW CT on Friday as close to 3 pm as my sorry old arse can do. Maybe make it to the BBQ if I'm lucky. If any are passing by on US route 7, let's ride up together. Drop me a note.

Is the kirkside closed? The web site doesn't want to light up for some reason.
Camping is awesome too, 'cept when it's 37 F in the mornings. Yeah, I know - I'm an old woose. Frostbit hands helped put me there though.
*Triumph Trophies of the less than $5K variety were very much on my buy radar, but an 04 Kawasaki Concours with a true 13K on the clock popped up at a very enticing price. me likey. Shaft drive, no shims in the valves, 95 HP and water cooled - delicious. Stem to stern fluids change, a little tweak here and there - back in the saddle. Paint is a very very dark blue that appears as black. The connie's often have some "interesting" (read - god awful) colors. Many I looked at would have required an extensive body part removal and rattle can campaign. Lucky Bucky.
