The weekend we picked has been one of the nicer weekends in the Catskills, a little cooler and dryer. The weekend after Labor Day I usually take a refresher course for my trade license and it has rained that weekend for several years. You could have decent weather in September or even October but it's a crap shoot after Labor Day. Not to mention once September comes a lot of us are probably thinking fall and winter and getting our homes in shape for the cold weather, getting fire wood.....of course most people if like me, never think of doing this in the summer.

Hi dougv & John yes I think you picked the best time to have a gathering there , & I would be there in a heat beat if I didn't have to work .

We do a lot of fund raisers here and I know it takes hard work & a lot of planning to pull them off . Thank you guys for putting this together, I know everyone will have a ball .

Have fun , ride safe .

Hey Captain, are you going to be at Lena's on Friday the 8th? My wife and I are heading up to Scarborough, Me to visit my niece and I think we should be there around lunch time. Looks like we will be going right past your exit off of Rt 95. I'm planning on taking my trike with me but on a trailer, coming up Rt 84, the Mass Pike and then Rt 495 is bad enough in a car and I like to make time on the highway. As long as the weather is somewhat decent we want to ride around a little while up there and probably take my nieces sons for a quick ride. Both of us like seafood, we went to dinner last weekend in NY and the restaurant usually has a lobster wrap that is good but that night they were out, so she is looking forward to going.

Hey Captain,

I was curious where Silver Springs was and we drove right by it on our way home in April. We stay in Kenneth City which is north of St. Pete and went up 75 to 40 this year to avoid going through Orlando. Nice area and ride up that way.

Good morning dougv , yes I will be here with a fresh pot of coffee . lol. When you take exit 60 off 95 turn right at the light . You will see the mini golf big white whale straight threw the next set of lights, Lena's is next to golf on right with a big white whale also . Pull in mini golf parking lot if you want , plenty of parking easy in , easy out .

Did you see a big white whale about 20 miles east of Ocala on Rt. 40 headed toward Daytona ? Lena's two is there , my sisters run that one . Lena was I grandmother , she open on Salisbury beach in 1958 .

see you on the 8th , be safe captain h

 

[dougv]

OK thanks hope to meet you then....

 

[dougv]

Hey Herman,

Thanks for the invite up to your place. That was the best clam chowder we have had in a while, even better than the lobster stew we had at some fancy place up in Portland this weekend. Wish we could have stayed longer but had to get up to the nieces and get settled in our room we booked. At least the weather gods were with us.

BTW, they had a huge Corvette weekend, almost every hotel in Old Orchard Beach was filled with them. Even spotted a rare split window coupe running around....

Thanks again and the next time up we will stop in for lunch....

 

[Captain H]

Thank you dougv, it was nice to meet you guys . The northeast gathering will be here before you know it , the summers seem to fly by for us . Hope the weather is good , I know everyone will have a great time .

thanks again captain h :Coffee:

Just over a week away. Thought we needed some chatter.

No chance my trike will be ready for rally, so it looks like the Mississippi (I actually typed missus but spell check is evil and funny. So I left it) will be stuck on 2-wheels for a couple days. Which I will trailer up there since I am not completely heartless. I thought she wouldn’t want to go up there the day early, as scheduled, without trike. But, nope. She wants her vacation.

Hey Andrew,

Hopefully I'm not in the same boat as you. Last week I rode the trike all week and on Friday it wouldn't turn over that morning. The Goldwings are very complicated when it comes to the starting circuit but as of Tuesday night I thought it was just the start switch because it turned over when I jumped the switch, last night I thought I should make sure it runs and it did as long as I kept the start switch pushed in and also shorted it. There are two sets of contacts, one N/O and the N/C so back to troubleshooting. Eventually found out it was the kill switch, the switch was OK, but they had spade connectors on the wires and those were corroded and loose. So now I have it jumped and it appears to be OK.

I would have been 4 wheeling it to the rally!!!!

See you next week....

 

[Bikerbozo]

Always carry wire for emergency Macgyvering. Well, if anyone has any problems up there, I will have my trailer handy. As long as 5’x10’ is enough. Chomping at the bit down in Fl. Vacation starts when I get home tomorrow. I may not be running, but at least I was able to tell some rocket scientists (fine, rocket engineers) how to get their stuff running properly.

Didn't see any alligators, but did see a wild pig and a slow moving turtle. Still find it funny that rocket components are build in Jupiter FL. At least it wasn’t stuff built in Uranus....bada bing.

Doug,

Hope your starting situations are over, and the bad wiring was the problem.. Looking forward to meeting you and John, at the restaurant in Otis....

[Bikerbozo]

The weather is indeed looking good. Bring your warm jackets for the morning though. I’m not used to not worrying how I pack. Since I have to trailer up, I’m just throwing all sorts of crap in the back of the SUV.

 

[John Luciano]

Andrew. What ever happened to the VW That's a trike right ? I was hopping to see it. Well I can't believe no one of the original group is attending. When it was in their back yard they were all GUNG HO. We move it 100 miles away ( all the rallies for me were that far except Torrington ) and nothing. This is not one to be missed. This is going to be as close to a real rally as we can do. Sad that our NETT. Rally will be ending after 8 years. I am excited to see what Lowes is going to throw in for the grand prize. I'm giving away a $125 drone and 12 raffle prizes. I thought about a 32" flat screen but then How would the winner get it home. < LOL> Never too late for locals in the area. A real breakfast , a real Dinner, and night entertainment , and a cash bar with low drink $$ . Right now we are deciding on what will do this year. This place is loaded with venue .Baseball hall of fame , Howes Cavern , a boat cruise on the Hudson , or the Rinebeck Antique Airplane Areodome are this years choices. We have a nice crowd this year. A few more would have been nice . I'm sure guests might join us on a few of our adventures ( HA HA ) stationed for pictures.

 

[Bikerbozo]

Working way too hard to have time to work on VW. Even if it was running, I wouldn’t trust it all the way up there. Maybe trailer one day. Dianne puts in her vote for baseball H of F or boat ride. Just about filled back of Caddy and will get trailer on in morning since we decided to head up a day early for some “West and wewaxation”. To quote E. Fudd.:qpnmt:
