There is a few of us from Arkansas that are thinking about going to Americade, I think its June 5th-10th. Does that sound right to you?  We are planning on being at the rally for 2 days and then taking a ride and picking up some of the North East states.  Maybe some of us can meet up at the Rally?

It's good to see some takers.  I didn't notice any other Bandits at last years Americade.  We should set up a touring ride or something.  We can either sign up for a planned ride or create our own.  I'm planning to go to Laconia after Americade so I was wondering what that was like.  A coworker of mine told me it's bigger and better.  Wooddog - Those dates are right and Laconia starts on the 10th if your interested in that.   :lol:

Hey, I am going to try to make Laconia this year with my 04 1200S.  Maybe I'll see some of you there.

Oh good your from NH.  What are some good roads or rides to take besides the Kangamangus Hwy?

Shredder, Rtes 4 and 31 are nice.  lots of twisties and stretches to open it up a little.  Rte 131 between VT and NH is fun as well.

Thanks for the advice, I've ridden Rte 4 before if thats the same 4 that runs through VT.  I heard that on the last day of Americade when everyone rides over to Laconia the Vermont State Police sets up a checkpoint at their border to stop all the hogs with open pipes probably on that same stretch.  Are they real strict with bikes in NH?

Not from what I have experienced.  Maybe for the hog riders--and I can't say that I am that upset over that either.  Loud is not necessarily a good thing.  Actually, rte 5 through vt/nh is cool as well.  Ride on.

I live 22 miles from Lake George Village.  I don't know what the weather will be like and I don't know what rooms are going for, But I 've got a big garage with a second floor, (UNFINISHED) any one that wants is welcome. Let me know, so I can scrounge up some sleeping apparatus.... As far as rides in this area, Let me know when and I'll hook you guys up. Got a good idea for a ride thru the Adirondacks,  Tupper Lake- Lake Placid.. No highways, all secondary-moderate twisters.....

Thanks for the offer but I just booked a house on the East side of the lake but maybe we'll get a ride going at the rally!
