2023 Northeast Rally

[dougv]

In April of this year I posted the information for a trike rally in VT and have gotten no replies. I'm surprised because 9 years ago I attended my first rally and it was held in my home town of Torrington, Ct and was well attended. My wife and I were welcomed into the group that first time and shortly after I purchased my first trike. Since then we attended several of the rallys held at the Grey Ghost Inn in Dover, VT which the first one was a sell out with several couples having to stay elsewhere. When a rally in NH fell apart and no one wanted to do another, John Luciano (Lucky) and myself took it upon ourselves to bring the rallys back, the first three years in the Catskills of NY and then back in Vt. Please join us again this year at the Kitzoff Inn on RT 100 in West Dover just a few miles north of the Grey Ghost Inn. We still have a few rooms available but you have to call Andrew at the Inn and mention you want to attend the trike rally. The cost includes breakfast Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings, A Thursday night welcome party with snacks, and a BBQ on Saturday night with ribs, chicken and fixens. Andrew is also thinking of doing a light Friday night supper of pulled pork sandwiches, fries, and coleslaw for $12.00 pp.

If the inn is sold out, he will work with an alternative hotel to find you lodging and if you are local or staying elsewhere, the BBQ is $30.00/pp.

This site was my first exposure to the trike community and I have met a lot of good people but changes in the way the site works has made it very difficult to put together a rally and be able to communicate effectively between members so an alternate method had to be used which has gained in membership more than we ever thought, most have never heard of Trike Talk. We are not trying to abandon Trike Talk or pull members away and we always mention this site to our new members, so John and I welcome anyone that would like to go.

Hay Doug Whats the name of your site I can not find it? I would like to take a ride up. What are the dates ? Thanks - Dan

Hi Dan,

The rally is based out of the Kitzof Inn in West Dover, Vt. Its right on RT 100 just north of the Grey Ghost Inn. It starts next Thursday Aug 17th, thats mainly a travel day for everyone and we usually pull in mid afternoon. The inn changed hands last year after our rally and the new owner is doing a cheese platter and offered to pick up pizza for Thursday night. (we pay) Friday we ride the area, Friday night the owner is doing pulled pork sandwiches with fries and coleslaw for $12.00/pp. Saturday we ride again and Saturday night the owner is doing a BBQ with ribs and chicken and fixens plus cheesecake for dessert. If you stay the weekend, the BBQ is included in the cost $360 for a single, $481 for a couple

If you don't stay at the inn the cost of the BBQ is $30.00 pp.....we get breakfast everyday off the menu and on the ride days we head out after somewhere around 10 or so. This is a laid back rally no rigid time lines, just a way to relax and enjoy the trikes and our friends companies. Sunday the 20th we have breakfast and leave at our own time line.

If you can't make it Thursday, I don't think there is an issue with getting the room for Friday/Saturday at a reduced cost. You would need to call the inn and let them know you are with us.

I think I remember at least your handle from previous rallys in Vt and hope you can join us.

Sorry, I misread your question, the group is on Facebook under Northeast Region Trike Riders. I have the site set to private but all we ask people is to answer two simple questions to join, don't worry about that since I know you already.
