on friday at 5 if people aren't still out riding, you will find most of us at the paradise tailgating in the parking lot or out back by the pool. I always have a bunch of beer delivered to my room that I keep in coolers so there is something available when returning from a ride. On fiday Last year we had nice weather & we ordered a bunch of pizzas delivered. Everyone pretty much does their own thing & each group has their preferred hang outs. Really hard to pick a specific place for "everyone" to meet. In short, start at the paradise when you get into town.

Thanks Alan,

I have another friend from Maine who has elected to join me for the weekend. He has a water cooled GS but each time we ride together he asks to swap bikes so he can ride my Rally Pro! We will be leaving eastern NH around 11:00 or so and expect to arrive in Bennington around 4:00. We will check in at the Catamount Motel and then head over to Paradise.

That was fun! Really! Thanks to Alan and everybody else. I played hookey from the funeral of an uncle I really liked to be able to attend, and I have no regrets. I saw all those folks recently at the last couple of funerals anyway. The weather sucked for the ride up Friday, but it was glorious Saturday and for the ride home Sunday. Many thanks to Joe for paying for my supper Friday- good luck (again) at the casino next year! Sorry Mark and Bonneville Billy could not make it, and I hope you are both there next year (unless something better comes up, then go for it, boys). Great to see Scot and Ken and Paul and Dan and Jim and Jim and Jim and Jim. Fun times for sure.

Great times as always! Good to see everyone again. Even with bike getting whacked in parking lot it was a great trip. Battlefield, Equinox, Arlington Dairy Bar and great riding with K of F, Scott and moneybags Joe! Great dinner with Mattand Rich and as always Paul made me laugh. SorryI missed ride home with K of F but wanted to get the bike back and count my blessings.

Great to see everyone again. Quite a few new faces as well, which was nice to see. Hope you all got to meet some new people & make new friends.

Hopefully those that couldnt make it due to health issues can make fast & full recoveries & make it back out on the roads with us soon.

They totaled the Tiger from the parking lot hit. No choice due to frame gouges. I will have to change my screen name. No more Tiger unless buyback is a steal. Buying another Scrambler (my previous one) which is owned by my son. I love that bike.

I really hope you can buy it back from the insurance company because we all know what a GREAT bike those are and probably a 3rd of them are riding around with scratched frames!

Keep us posted.

Tiger is staying home! Adjuster was very good to me. He hated that I would have to lose my bike due to an irresponsible driver. The local shop was flabbergasted at the buy back price. I won’t post it but it was a no brainer.

That's AWESOME!!

Is there much to fix? I assume you're not worried about getting the frame stripped and re-powdercoated.

Great news, congrats!
