No chance of running into Mr. [bacon] at that show.
Only people afraid of going fast get vintage bikes.
Don't you you have a vintage bike ;)?
This definitely could be a fun event
I am amused that it isn't at Butlers Orchard anymore....got me to wondering why...
Too many football hooligans.
- So on their (rather long) sponsors list, Ducati is on there. Good on them for getting what they did... but I find it a touch odd that Ducati is sponsoring a brit bike event. They do have a concourse section for pasta rockets.. but still
The marque brand is Moto Guzzi this year. Should be fun.

I was up at a classic bike shop in Eldersburg (Deer Park Cycle) dropping off an absolute prsitine T-140 that needs a little tuning and Jack said the owner of Butlers died, so while the estate is being worked out they did not want to take a chance, so they moved it.

cool...thanks for the heads up!
Just in case your alzheimer's is acting up...
Anyone planning to head to this shindig?
Thanks for bringing this back up. I'm a like to, but tentative at the moment. Gotta figger' out my schedule as teh week moves along.
I'll be going. Sadly, I've been so lazy I can't take the Guzzi (the featured bike this year) as it's not ready to go. Guess I'm "forced" to take the Ducati.
I'll be there if the weather cooperates.
Plan to take the Paso out for a spin. - Gene

It's tough having choices isn't it? ;D I have the same problem now...some days I have to ride them both. [evil]
My brother and I will be there. Looking forward to seeing some cool bikes and meeting people. If you see me please come introduce yourself. My name is Travis and I'd love to put some faces to the on-line names. Here is what we will be riding and what we look like.

Travis, now you're making me feel extra lame that I won't have my 850-T ready! Yours looks super stock, except for the seat maybe? Nice to see another T, seems everyone is all about the T3s but I <3 the drum rear brake. Chromed liners not so much. :)
Still wish I had my 02' Lemans with FBF mods. When I was in Stuttgart (76' - 82') the MG was very popular at the local Sunday hangout, Glemseck, part of the old Solitude course. I was always impressed with them and not with my R65LS which I sold 1 1/2 months after I bought it and got the Honda CX. The R65LS without a doubt was the worst bike I ever owned. - Gene

My bike is basically stock. The seat is aftermarket, but I do have the stock seat and it is being redone. The cylinders were redone at 40,000 miles. I picked it up because it seemed like a good deal and I have really enjoyed riding it.
So which bike are you bringing?

The mighty 900SS/CR, unless the elves have got the Guzzi running (which I doubt). I still haven't checked if I've got the (peeling) chrome bores or the cast iron. Adds excitement to ownership!

I got lucky since previous owner had redone them. It turns out he didn't really need to. He gave me the original cylinders and they looked perfect. I've heard the flaking chrome bores only happen if the bike sits for long periods of time. Anyways hope to see you at the show.
I'm down weather permitting. Anyone else? Anyone feel like meeting up and riding there?

I wish I had as sweet a ride!
If all goes well and I survive the DMV tomorrow I might ride the newly acquired H1 out there. Not brit/euro but its old [laugh]
The flyer says "trials demo" - any idea what's meant by this? Any sort of trials comp or general trials riding opportunity involved? I'd consider trailering up with the H1 and Montesa trials bike then ride the 'tesa in the trials stuff if that's an option. [evil]

they are usually vintage trials bikes doing a small course of logs,rocks, and obstacles no larger than 2.5 foot-ish, but good for demonstrating ultra-low speed throttle control in tight space....there was one guy 3 years ago doing it on an oooooooooooooooooooold small modified Ducati 350 single after the monsoon subsided and most were gone....he pulled it out of his trailer and popped over and just played...
Cool. I have a trials bike and have competed just a little - I wonder if its worth hauling it out there to play with? I'll probably just ride the H1 out, but the trials bike is a blast to toodle around on. The trials bike is even quasi-euro (Spanish bike with a HRC engine and Showa suspension).
trials bikes are so generally light and small, you could potentially strap it to the back of the H1 and ride over with it on the back.
Oh its crossed my mind [evil] I've seen folks ride to trials events with their trials bikes in tow behind big street bikes.
