Dark Side of the Force...

Can/Am - WST 5.1

Sorry to muddy up the waters even more since there are two other threads going but I am hi-jacking them.

There is two other trips planned one by Fog and the other by Slowrider. It looks like PA may be a time constraint challenging trip for us in NE and Fog may be out for the ride. The 19th and 20th of Sept is still the planned weekend for the ride.

We have some committed riders for from both sides of the border for tooling around in the twisties in the Stowe area in Vermont. I am thinking we should crash at our usual digs since there is a bar, fire-pit, and a fancy restaurant across the street. Lake George will be our alternate.

Roll call;

This cool display came with the BCR I bought. I was lucky enough to find one from a passionate motorcyclist enthusiast who took care of her like a museum piece.

The trick was to get it together before the kids saw it!!!

Looks like we will execute plan "B" which is the Lake Geroge trip. More twisties which equals more

Went on line and it would look like Tiki Lounge is booked.

I did find the Econo Lodge on the other end of town. They seem to have good rates and a closer walk to the bar. We should all be booking our rooms soon!

There has been a fellow member of the WST how has been trashing my good name on a few forums because I sold my old K bike, good thing he is a good friend.

Hopefully this will redem me.....,

I was lucky enough to of found this BCR from a great guy who took care of it. Truly this is a "Diamond in the rough"

So now when Martin, Highlander, you and myself show up at a WS tour, we will have trouble figuring which bike is which!!!

We will have to look at the A$$, and see which exhaust is on the bike to tell the difference.

My BCR is gone. So I can just get confused with Andrew (anyways you can always look for the slower rider to identify me)

BTW, I'm a little bit lost between the Lake George WST and the rebel separatist Pennsylvania WST.

What is going on?

F'n separatist!

It's clear Martin, you are coming to Lake George.

P.S. Andrew got rid of his GS and now drives a yellow hybrid BMW.

P.P.S. I also own the rights and the trade mark of "WST" don't be fooled by FBN immitators.

So this might be a problem...any lodging available in Lake George? Maybe we go back to the Slide Brook Plan.

Use price line with Capt.Kirk. I found that the Econo Lodge could be a good place to crash!

Well I am riding in Pa and scheduled it early so not to interfere with the usual Oct VT ride, hoping that some of the Boston crew would join us, but NOOOOOOOO, I think they are scared of the Pa. red necks

Any how, at last count Flatty and his wingman Rodney and Myself, are riding FRI, Sat and Sun for sure, and possibly Thursday. Foo, and Kyle are coming out to play Sat and Sun, not sure about Highlander yet.

Sat night we will probably do the steak cookout thing again, if that works for everyone.

Hope you can make it out, I promise a lot of great roads.

Slowrider - room is booked for two nights. Good deal on priceline.

PFFog - I can't ride to PA because I have a fear of Badgers!

X-T: What a great find - beautiful bike!

We are just back from a week long bike tour of the Adirondacks, Green & White Mountains that commenced in Lake George. It really is a great place to launch a ride from.

Let's meet up for breakfast around here sometime. Love to see yours & Andrew's new sledz!

How about this Satuday morning. I am meeting slow rider and Babo at Moto Mart for some local holligan riding.

Good to hear from you.
