Photos from National?

[Frump]

Is anyone posting photos from the National for all of us who are desk or job bound this week? Would love to see some posted.

[Rich]

So you had to miss this one too, huh? I wanted to go but work got in the way. But next year, Wisconsin, and I will be there. Hope to see you there.

And I'm waiting for some photos to be posted too.

Have a good one.

There is a link to photos from the rally at www.cvfair.com, taken by the Expo's director of Communications, Stephen Mease. You can also see a video montage of the photos there. It includes some aerial shots of the site.

This is a long shot, but does anyone have a photo of that green Triumph Thunderbird sidecar unit?

Was that the most beautiful vehicle ever, or what?

I do have pics of it, but have to figure out how to get them off the brand-new camera. Give me a day,,,,

[RTRandy]

Here's a few to come:

This is around 7:45 on Thursday morning about 15 minutes before it officially opened. Still plenty of parking space, but not for long. Riders were coming in droves. And yes the weather was great up there.

[RTRandy]

Still not full yet.

[RTRandy]

The front of the line waiting for the rally to open at 8 am. I took this shot by raising my arm and camera over my head and just shot looking back.

[RTRandy]

Some of the camping was rapidly filling up as well.

[RTRandy]

I'm not a vintage expert, but this one caught my eye just parked there.

[IndyGT]

Here's a cell phone shot of the awards ceremony scene. Thanks to the organizers for making this one short and sweet. All things considered, it was one of the best-run rallies I've attended since I started going to MOA rallies at Laguna Seca in '86.

[IndyGT]

Cool paint job.

[2BLACKS]

Great Pics

Thanks

[BradfordBenn]

Cool paint job.

I believe that would be MerritGene (Gene Merritt).

I am still working on my photos...

[kbasa]

We stayed at my buddy Doug's house when we got to Boston.

He's got some neat stuff hanging around. Let's see who knows what this is. It was in the vintage display.

Cool paint job.

Yep, that's my bike. Thanks for the compliment. I didn't spend much time by my tent, but I did see a lot of people stop to look at the bike.

The answers to the two most-asked questions are: it's a Krauser fairing, and it was painted by Shawn at Custom Paint Specialists in Des Moines, IA.

[kbasa]

It was awesome to see Judy. She's faster than all y'all. :ha

Let's see who knows what this is. Kbasa

A Krauser MKM. Last one I saw was in Melbourne in 2002, at a BMW shop in the NE part of the city, and it was FOR SALE.

Woulda', shoulda' coulda'.

Did you get to ride it Dave? Great people shots.

Rinty, I think it's Coulda Shoulda Woulda and yes you Shoulda.

[rinty]

Story of my life.... I think they wanted about (A) $8,000 for it. But I'm down to one nice oiler RS, now that the airhead has been placed in a good home.

And I'll need lots of time to help look after the 2 cats were getting.

Thanks for the kind words!

Correct you are on the MKM. Didn't get to ride it, but did see it with it's bodywork off. He's got two sets, one with a single seat and one that's "biposto".

I first saw them in Cycle a bunch of years ago and it was way, way beyond anything I could even consider back then.

Very nice, Paul and Brad. I got a chance to see what I missed while making signs (with the giant new HP printer) in the back of the expo building and/or exploring beautiful VT roads. :thumb

[PAULBACH]

Forgot to mention the signs since they are too easily taken for granted.

The signs were of high quality and were most welcome finding your way around. Your work was most appreciated.

NYC is not that far away from Vermont or Northern New York. Come up and smell the flowers anytime.

NYC is not that far away from Vermont or Northern New York. Come up and smell the flowers anytime.Thank you, Paul. Greg Eischeid was the signs chair and should be commended for a great job communicating and taking orders from all the other departments and mounting and hanging the signs, too. I designed over 65 signs for Greg and all the folks who needed them (half of which I'd designed from my offices in the month prior to the event), however we were learning to use the HP on the fly and it was a daunting task trying to get everything out for the first day (Thursday; which saw me sitting in front of 2 laptops for 8+hours). I rolled in Wednesday and sat right down, in my gear, and just started cranking.

Will definitely PM you about coming up to Ballston Spa and the Saratoga region (my Brother in Law works in the Thoroughbred industry and is up there for the next month!)!

One of my favorite incidents during the War of Northern Aggression.

Spousal unit and lots'o'bikes.

[bws]

We don't do the camping thing any more, and VT is full of B&Bs. We stayed atone in Shelburne.

[bws]

The B&B is run by a nice older couple. Lovely gardens.

[bws]

I think that was the name of this sidecar rig.

[bws]

Someone already posted a pic of this bike. Here's a detail shot. I'm pretty sure this bike did not go on the GS ride.....

[bws]

Fabulous museum, that we were able only to skim through on Saturday afternoon. Here's the round barn and entrance to the museum.

[bws]

Besides the sawmill, full-sized steamboat, jail constructed of slate, quilt and sampler exhibit, Tasha Tudor exhibit, tavern, weathervane exhibit, Georgia O'Keefe exhibit, and much more, they had the world's longest model circus parade, and a slew of carousel animals. This goat rocks.

[bws]

A purty bike.

[bws]

And another.

[bws]

And yet one more. Okay, I'll stop now.

[The_Veg]

BWS, if you want to see some REALLY cool carousel animals wait 'till next year's rally. West Bend looks on my map to be about 100 miles from Spring Green, where you can visit The House On The Rock- which has, among many other things on display, the world's largest carousel and a few smaller ones too. One interesting thing to note is that the largest one has many animals on it but not a single horse-head, not even on the horses!

World's largest:
http://www.sizenine.com/gallery/wisconsin/image053.jpg

No horse-head here, but talk about efficiency in battle!
http://www.sizenine.com/gallery/wisconsin/image054.jpg

Buddha seen in the smaller Doll Carousel:
http://www.sizenine.com/gallery/wisconsin/image060.jpg

The House On The Rock is very much worth seeing, especially if you have an appreciation for strange whimsical flights of the imagination- but wear good walking shoes and allow most of a day to see it.

What's Hodagland???

[stealthrider]

Here a photo I took at Smugglers Notch...

[stealthrider]

more from the notch

[stealthrider]

here's one from Rt. 17

[dancogan]

Nice shots, Stealth!

[The_Veg]

GORGEOUS pictures!

And the Hodag sounds like a kinder-gentler version of El Chupacabra (http://www.elchupacabra.com/).

[Hodag]

What's Hodagland???

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodag

News reports from the time of its discovery claimed the hodag had "the head of a bull, the grinning face of a giant man, thick short legs set off by huge claws, the back of a dinosaur, and a long tail with a spear at the end".

[Hodag]

How about a Hodag as the mascot for Wisconsin. perhaps riding a BMW with a cheesehead ? :lurk

I'm kinda happy with Bucky
