Well Donna and I went west to Lake George NY for Americade 2005.
Had the bike on the trailer to Rutland VT. Donna isn't up for that long of trips yet.
Hot when we left Maine at 7am, brutal when we got to Lake George at 11am. :evil: 95F and muggy
Used to be a classy meet but sadly
it seems to be just another Hardly/imitation Hardly group there now.
I would have to say almost 75% would fit into that group. The rest were crotch rockets, a few BMWs and Goldwings. I was told about 55,000 people were there. Out of all that we only saw 2 GSes. One 1982 GS1100E that I handed a card to, and he was excited to hear about us. 8) 8) 8)
And a GS1150 as we were leaving. Unfortunately didn't get to many tents or even the ranch because it was just too crowded. I think we were among the very few that was wearing jackets and gloves. A prime group for skin cancer. Donna is a fair skinned redhead and could not believe the redheads riding around with almost nothing on 8O 8O
And not all that good to look at anyway 8O :x :wink:
Here is a shot of the parking field we were in. Mind you there were probably 10 to 15 more lots through out the area.
Neat side of the day as we were on the way home, we stopped for gas. A nice couple on a Bandit and there friend on a Hardley were getting gas also.
Well even before I could get the nozzle out to get gas, they were over asking what year,milage etc. 8) 8) 8)
Some more cards handed out. Seems the guy on the bandit has a red GS1100E in his cellar and didn't know of us. Spreading the word some more. 8) 8) 8)
So overall had a good but long day. Only hit a little rain on the way home but no biggy.
Guess I just like ridng and hanging out with my GSR friends much better :wink: :wink: 8) 8) 8)
