I'm a little over an hour from the Calais ME border on the Canadian side. Will let you know if I'm ever heading to Bangor.

Re:East Coast M&G, Arundel ME, 5-7 Aug 2011 1 Year, 9 Months ago  
well guys......I kow your not going to believe it but i did it to myself again! woke up this morning feeling a bit groggy to say the least!

was great to meet everyone and thanks to coot for putting up a fine spread for us.

Zoom was the ultimate tour guide. After our initial ride failed miseribly and had us sitting in 10 miles of traffic he stepped right in and took us for a breathtakibg view of some classic oceanfront scenery.
To bad we missed quest while we where doing this.

Stan won the iron ass award. Riding up 3 days from Maryland!
As it was poring buckets this morning on the way home I couldnt help but think if he was stick somewhere in it.

Big Dave and Coot where staying another night so I know they didnt run into to many issues.

Overall A great weekend was had by all. A very cool group of guys that I would love to hang out with again.

Be back up there the 26th if anybody would like to come back!

I had a wonderful time.

Gino, I made it home at 7:00 PM. Rain from Bentleys to Hartfort, CT, cleared up the rest of the way 650 miles, Dale, I love my seat.

Lets do this again

Bentleys is the place,
Stan

what time did you leave this morning Stan? I went iinto the campground to find some trouble after the bar closed at Midnight. I made my way back to the room about 2ish and your bike was still there. I got up at 8 and you where long gone! Glad you didnt get to beat up......It was coming down in buckets all the way home for me!

By the time my buddy and I left Bentley's Saturday afternoon, there were so many Harley's there, my buddy said he felt like he was leaving "enemy territory"!

There was one really fine ancient Indian there that we admired for awhile.

One fellow rode in on a '48 Harley and left, that was one extraordinary example.

The Ultimate.

Gino, I am confused. Is that Darkstar opr Drunkstar?
I had a water cooled Roadstar. Had to stop several times under overpasses. Visability got pretty bad.
