I think a buffet is the way to go. The restaurant needs to have enough personel to take care of us. More than 1 bartender is certainly needed with this group! Again, you and Tito's and Robins efforts are greatly appreciated. Now back to shoveling my roof!

Any Update on the Friday late afternoon BBQ Run?

I think we overpowered the poor owner last year.

That'll be basically the same as last year; he seemed to be happy with the way it worked.

Hmmm wonder where I'll be rushing back from. Last year it was the Canadian border.

Very true Matt....the big Rockets aren't as quick in the twisties of New England as our lithe muscular corner carving Tiger 1050's...sorry I copped that from some motorcycle magazine I must have been reading...

I think the Friday barbeque worked out great and we just need a buffet set up for us on Saturday night and that will be golden...That will work great for feeding everyone in a short amount of time...No vegan stuff as Tigers are meat eaters

Actually, the Friday dinner is a bit up in the air now. We'll keep you guys posted as we work things out, but we're now looking at maybe having a mobile BBQ outfit come to Bennington. We'll see.

What a great idea, Jeff! +1 for that. Almost took the DR out for a ride today. But of course it started to snow...

Not to worry Matt...spring is right around the proverbial corner and you'll be on the road with that DR...good choice

Isn't this the time of year when y'all up north start wanting to kill someone or something every time it snows again. 60 plus degrees here yesterday and today and everyday this week. Did not ride yesterday because I had other commitments but did ride to work today.
I am an individual. Just like everyone else.

Low 40s here in Burlington right now, but dropping. Supposed to be a high of 13 tomorrow. But then back up above freezing for the rest of the week, thankfully.

Trouble is, my bikes are buried at the moment. I tried to dig them out Saturday but gave up. Hopefully enough of the snow will melt this week that I'll be able to get out for a ride over the weekend.

I just hope it doesn't snow again...

55 deg here today. Unfortunately I'm so busy working that it doesn't look like a ride's gonna happen today. But Thurs & Friday will be 60!
