How 'bout a Spyder meet in Bennington, VT?

[Smylinacha]

For those of you who aren't going to Gatlinburg......

HDX and I will be there next weekend. We'll be camping and we spent all day trying to get both the Spyder and the Roadglide loaded up into our Toy Hauler. Well it worked - we can take both bikes! We were a little worried w/ the size of the :spyder:AND fitting the Harley in there but it's a go!

If anyone's interested, we'll be at the Blue Ben Diner in Bennington (Route 7) at 9 a.m. on Saturday, September 27th - so far the weather is looking good! We'll be in VT by Thursday at some point and we will be there until we check out on Monday.

You did well. I was worried when I first tried to load the Spyder and additional bikes in my trailer. I managed to get in the Arachnid and two small bikes, and keep the tongue weight acceptable. No way to do that with my Beemer in there with the Spyder, though. I am jealous!

:thumbup: how much space were you working with in your toy hauler? We want to tow our bikes - any tips on how to set up the bikes? Looking to fit an electra glide (bagger!) and my little pumpkin :spyder:. I'm convinced we'll have to buy a bigger trailer...secretly hoping there's another solution! Thanks

If I can get away, I may make a day trip. I'm just outside of Boston on the North shore.

I am checking with the lovely bride (the :doorag: boss) right now. We're just in Berkshire County, MA-- a nice, twisty ride from Bennington, VT four towns away.

I forgot... The Cycle City sponsored Fall Run to benefit the Shriners Hospital is Sunday. If anyone is coming to your Bennington gathering, and is around on Sunday for a quick 60 mile ride, here's a nice article from a couple years ago, and the
brochure for this year :doorag:

I'll still swing up to Bennington on Saturday with ole PE #2929 (tho' I don't think I'll be able to show off the new paint job yet) either with son or daughter or with lovely bride. :thumbup:

Hey, Sopher, if you (or anybody else) comes from the east like Boston or Worcester, you need to go right near us to get to Bennington; we could connect here if you want...

We used to be able to tow his Roadglide & my softail and get them in no problem - this was definitely GREAT NEWS when we found out yesterday we could get both our toys in! I'll take some pics on how we did it and post them up later

Helps us too, thanks.

The lovely bride and I are thinking of investing in a trailer for next season. Just collecting people's recommendations now...:chat:

Would 10 a.m. be better for anyone going?

Would 10 am be better to hook up on Saturday - anyone? Just figure it will give people more time to get there. And I'm always knnown to run late from sleeping in too much :doorag:

10 is better, but hey, I'll cave to Spyder peer pressure...also, I'm close, so nobody'll let me complain much about times...

Whatever you all want! :chat:

Also, I forgot (again) that Saturday night before the Fall Run is Bike Night in Adams, MA, home of Mount Greylock:

...really not far south from Bennington, VT. Runs from 4pm ish to 9 pm. Bunch of restaurants open, vendors there, bands, raffles, etc.
It'd be cool to have a bunch of Spyders there.

OK, let's shoot for 10 a.m. then. That ride sounds cool for Sat night! I'll check w/ HDX. There is also a big car show in Burlington we might go to - not sure yet. Oh, and we know North Adams very well - two years ago we accidentally got stuck in some parade there (this time of year). We tried getting out by going on all the side streets but ended up on the main road going int the reverse direction of the parade - it was funny! The cops actually let us ride the parade backwards LOL!
