And tell all your friends! We're in the home stretch now -- this is the time to really be spreading the word of mouth and getting people who've never been to the BTB before thinking about it.

Thanks everyone!

We're having a big "show" for Triumph Thunderbird Nights May 1. I'll pass them out and post it to our ratpac, which is 150 and growing!

Don't we really want to keep this a small invitation only event? Heck we don't want to end up with a New England Triumph Sturgis replete with tatoo parlors lining the streets forcing out quality hot dog cart vendors...

Good Point

I would like to see 200-250 bikes at the BTB eventually so that the folks at Triumph might take us more seriously and perhaps someday send out a DEMO Truck. I don't think it would grow to a Sturgis, Laconia or Daytona proportion by any means you are talking over 200,000 people. It is a three day event and it is configured more like a Small Motorcycle Rally and not a Bike Week with it's focus on similar minded individuals who want to spend a couple of days together riding and enjoying motorcycling in a healthy and beautiful environment.

A tattoo parlor? Sounds like a good idea. I need a new one.

Same here I would love to see the bash grow bigger every year.
I say if you like Triumphs and the people who ride them, then you are invited.
I want the little town of Bennington to be marking there calendars looking forward
to Hundreds of Triumph riders to arrive.
The more the merrier.

Agreed. it would be nice to see 100's of Triumphs. I'm also with Jefff1 on this-the day that our/your great little rally gets like the other big ones is the day I stay home. The BEST part of Bennington is that it's about riding bikes and none of the other crap that the big rallies offer. I've made some new friends and riding buddies, and that is great and just what I'm looking for.
The thought of a "parade" up and down the street with a band, custom unrideable bike show, "hooter"' girls, and the like-not for me. The idea of trying for 5 states and 400 miles in a day-well, sir, you can sign me up for that every time!

Maybe that does not read right. You all have done a WONDERFUL job on the bash. It's anything but easy to plan and host an event and I've done plenty of 'em. There's always somebody who "knows" better and I don't mean to imply that at all. Keep up the great work.
I'm real happy to have our dealer agree to be a sponsor.
I was a bit concerned that my comment may be misunderstood.

Wouldn't it be safer if we had our wives dress up in HD leather halter tops and assorted hot biker chick gear? That way we wouldn't be getting teased by a bunch of young girls we don't know...We can be entertained by older ones that truly don't like us...
