I'll be glad to hang across the street at your sister's friend's family general store while the others take the tour which couldn't last more than 10 mins.

Well according to the website, Ozzie died in 2005, so that won't be a problem...

Here's a sub-section of the site about the Griffith library. Griffith was my grandmother's maiden name, hence the relation... I think his grandparents, and my grandmothers grandparents were siblings...

Hedge
they are in the rides section on the front page.
The Bennington Triumph Bash first page at the top you click on rides.

Thx Bill - I would have never thought of looking there. Kudos to all who worked on these and posted them! :-)

Benny!

What is the fee to go to Mt. Equinox? Do they have group rates?



Thanks!

Good question. It's on the web site. I can ask about group rates, or see if my dad can get passes or something.

mark, I'm on it.

Ready for the twisty's.:cool: Just got my Progessive 440's and fork springs today. With the air box removed, Epco's on and rejetted I'm ready to go. Last year I was at 63+ hp and 47+ ft. lbs. of torque with TOR shorts. Hopefully a little better this year but definitely big improvement on handling. Maybe I can get a dyno run in before the Bash.

If you dyno it, let me know what you get. Your motor a 790? That's the exact setup I have, so it'll be a good comparison.

I did not. But it's entirely possible that it got lost among the 200 spam emails I had waiting for me when I checked my mail on Saturday night. Could you resend, and make sure you put Bennington in the subject line?

Thanks!

On the Cape and in NH, I notice the tourist traffic doesn't get too crazy on weekends until after schools let out in June....Is it different in VT?

Well when's memorial day? Isn't that after the rally? I'm not too worried about it. I don't think we'll actually go thru malfunction junction anyway, probably grab lunch some place out of the center.
