Starts next Tuesday at Lake George and surrounding areas. From this web-board I and another member are going to meet though I'm leaving my /2 home and using '95 K75 instead. Anyone else going?
Tuesday June 7th through Saturday June 11th.

That's my Ural in the last picture which took a beating riding with my HD and BMW (modern BMW's) friends. This year it'll be a '95 K75 that will whip there butts.

Sorry I missed you Tommy. Our group became 15 riders and was just too crazy with activities to drop away with so much going on. Terrific week of weather and riding and my decision to bring the '95 K75 was spot on... riding circles around the big V-Twins in my group though there was a Yamaha FZ9 that was a rocket. We stayed at a lake house on Great Lake Sacandaga, 30 miles away though it always became 90 to 100 miles of scenic riding just to get to Americade. Those Adirondacks have some of the most beautiful riding roads in the country.
I only saw one (1) vintage BMW during the whole week.

Took a ride up to Boltans Landing for a visit to the Sagamore Hotel. What a view of Lake George.

Isn't there some sort of campout or vintage rally coming up at or near the Rhinebeck Aerodrome?

A group from ontario showed up that I have not seen in the last 3 years
Also had lunch in Bolton landing and drove part way around Great Sacandaga Lake
that is one big lake took rt 4 out of Hadley to Edinburg and then rt 7 back nice 15 mph turns and views
Also up north to the Adirondack museum
This was my 21st year going
Maybe next year
