It's only 200 mi each way for me so I go up every year, but it is my busy time at the shop so I only go up for a day.

I'm hoping to go for the day...let me know what day you were planning to go. I try and watch the weather and pick a day that it may not rain.

We will both be watching weather. Usually I go up on a Wed or Thurs but we will see as it gets close.

We'll stay in touch.

I have a friend going and was asked, but I'm putting most of my eggs in the rally basket this year. Could be a destination next season.

Thought I'd re-start this thread as we are getting closer to show time. As some of you may have noticed the show this year doesn't start until Tuesday the 7th. and runs through the 11th.

Our plan is to go up on Wed. and stay until Friday. My cousin, his brother-in-law, and myself have been going up and staying at the Landmark Motel about 8 miles from Lake George. It's a nice place with swimming pools and a hot tub for relaxing after hard days of shopping and riding. More important it's priced right.

Weather permitting I think the best day to meet will be Thursday but it's too early to tell yet. Where to meet would be the next topic open to discussion.

How about meeting at the McD in Warrensburg? Its just a couple miles north of Lake George on RT 9. Big parking lot and out of the traffic of Lake George Village? From there we have some great options for rides (28N, Rt 8, VT ferry to name just a few). Just depends on how long a ride we decide on

If it happens to be a clear day, I would be ok meeting at the McDs in Warrensburg on Thursday. Its out of the way enough not to be to crowded. Its the matter of time, I have about 3 hours to get there, I can adjust my leave time to fit.

Went to Americade a few years ago and was completely blown away
by just how well done the rally was.
Had plans to try and go this year but after buying a house I had to put
my trip to New York on hold.
Hope y'all have a blast.

Although I plan to ride up Thursday with a couple other bikes, but I will only be able to ride up and walk the vendors, have lunch and ride back home. I have a couple things I'm looking for at the Vendor area.

I will try to meet you folks at 11:00 at the McDs in Warrensburg but just for a "hello, nice to meet you" but not make the planned ride.
200mi ride up, walking the vendor area, lunch and 200mi back is about all I can do in one day.

Hey. Vondawg and I enjoyed meeting you last night in Lake George. We had a pretty wet ride home today, but these bikes make it so much better! Enjoy your week.

I am going to back out of trying to meet you folks in Warrensburg as the group I'm leading up to Americade is growing. Another time guys..

I am still in for Thursday around 11 at the McDs in Warrensburg. We can figure what to do when all are there, ride, vendors or whatever
