Bennington Triumph Bash

Hey all, I'm sure this has been posted on other sites but figured it should be posted here as well. Ok, just to recap from earlier mentionings it's an antique British bike show featuring mostly British bikes with a large side order of American, Italian, German, and Asian bikes. This is a very laid back event which has food and beer at reasonable prices. There are also vendors selling leathers,hats,pins, and whatever. Last year it cost 10.00 to get in and that included having your name put in to win an antique Triumph. Last year the giveaway bike was a 78 Bonneville 750 and it looks like this year it will be a 74 Triumph Trident 750. I don't know what time the gates open because I'm getting my information from http://www.ctbritiron.org/ and they haven't posted a time for opening or closing yet. I'm going to personaly gaurantee if you go you'll have a good time or I'll put a pitcher of beer in front of you to help wash down the dissapointment. Let's get together for this one as the BTB is a long way out right now.

It is very likely I will be making that ride.

Hey Jimmy, I've been good....riding when I can, mostly little short puts to de-stress, working while worrying about a possible layoff (eeeek!)......the guy I thought might be "the guy" wasn't, LOL- I ended with him on the BTB Weekend (part of why I didn't come), but all is well there. .....Wow! This site is still the cooliest!!

Hey Paula
Good to hear from you.
I plan on rolling down to Pa, Carlisle bike fest tomorrow if it's not poring.
I will look you up for the britjam when the time comes.

Bill

Yeah I sure as hell hope Mark keeps it up because by far it is the best place to hang out . Glad to hear your doing okay and sorry sometimes the cover of the book is far better then the content.

Jimmy

No worries, this site's not going anywhere.

Does any one know the street address for the fair grounds?

Paula
I will probable be riding there with whisper/John and Marty.
It would be great if we could hook up with you , Brian and Tim.
Lets get in touch and make some plans.

Bill

Hey dudes, it's at 26 Quarry Hill RD. Haddam Neck CT. Here's a link

Would anyone be interested in meeting at the Vanilla Bean in Pomfret? It's nearly a straight shot from there to the fairgrounds.

Hey Todd
Thanks for the address
Let me get in touch with the rest of the crew.
It looks like we can come in to CT. on route 101 and then shoot up on route 169 into
Pomfret. I just don't know where the Vanilla Bean is.

Bill

That would be a good route. The Bean is 2.8 miles North once you get on rte 169

It is at the junction of rte 169 and rte 44 At the intersection you take a left and a very quick right. It is on that corner of the intersection.

I've never been there for breakfast but they do have a good lunch menu , coffees good, and are very biker friendly. I think you guys would like it; and there's always a mixture of bikes too.

Ok Bill, I'll stay posted and maybe a few more will join in.

Todd

Right on Man!
I will get in touch with some peeps
