Just joined and this bash sounds like a good time. Are there people riding to Bennington from/in/around the central massachusetts area. I am interested in riding up early saturday morning and would like to ride with a group of people if possible.

Also, what would I need to do if I am just planning on camping Saturday night? Are there groups of people camping at the same site?

Look forward to riding with everyone.

Welcome to the site!

Check out the various camping threads on this forum -- there will be a whole bunch of us at Greenwood.

Also, I'd strongly recommend riding to Bennington on Friday -- even after work Friday, if necessary. If you don't ride in till Saturday you'll miss most of the fun -- Friday night party at the campground and group rides on Saturday. I expect you'd also have a much easier time finding people to ride with on Friday.

Welcome to the site and yeah there will be plenty of people at the campground and I am sure there will be a space to rent a spot for Sat night and if you get in there friday evening I am sure you will be able to find a spot for both nights . Check out the camping info Speed has posted and get ready to have a blast.

If you stand still long enough I could get that monkey in the cross hairs at anything under 600 meters LOL. You might need a shower after but thats okay . Besides we are the NAMAG its them fuckin gorillas you need to watch out for. We all have some skeletons here so your safe and welcome its about a good ride on a bumpy road.

Looking forward to meeting you.
I'm from s/e Mass. I will be coming through central mass Thursday afternoon
with a few other Triumphs.

Last year we went up on Friday and that just was not long enough.

Hope to see you there.

Definitely try to ride up on Friday. There will probably be a bunch of us from CT riding up that day, so it would be easy to meet up somewhere. If you need an excuse to get out of work try these:

1) my father, mother brother sister, wife, or dog died

If you've already used up all of those, try

2) my car broke down, ran out of gas, or was towed away.

If you've actually used those before

3) I was kidnapped by a buch of bikers who forced me to ride to Bennington Vermont and then made me stay up all night drinking excessive quantities of alcohol and I am now passed out and unable to report to work. Dr. Lapo will give you a note for the boss.
