Americade 2011

[John Luciano]

8 years ago I was guest of honor on the Motorcycle Tour & Cruiser Magazine Cruise . AT that time I was writing articles for the magazine. The cruise is a lot of fun

Too Old Tom (Tom Harkins) will be there from Sun, to Sun. Count me for the Sat. breakfast and I will meet you at Bob's some night.

 

[spiritdream]

John, are you usually at Bob's on Saturday too, or just during the week?

 

[John Luciano]

I try to be there every night . we mostly go out to eat on Sat night so the bike might be there but not me. I am using a neighbors router so the sig is weak I hope this works

I have a 2008 Honda Goldwing trike and would enjoy meeting up with fellow trikers. This will be about my 8th Americade. Alot of people are going to the parade sat. morning. How about meeting for breakfast earlier and maybe be part of the parade (if we don't meet earlier in the week. I am arriving Tues. night and leaving Sunday.

My wife and I plan on being at Americade for the whole week , traveling with a Goldwing group from Maryland. My trike is similar to Johns, a white 96 SE with CSC conversion. Hope to meet up with some and we love ice cream/ LOL

 

[spiritdream]

Tis, ladyff, anyone else - how about a ride up to Hot Biscuit diner for lunch on Friday? Any takers?

Don, we had thought about an earlier breakfast on Saturday, but some of the people joining us are late risers, and most of us aren't planning to join the parade, so 10am was a pretty good compromise for everyone. Last year was rather wet, but we had breakfast together and then went outside to watch the parade (or watch the parade and then eat? Old-timers' rearing it's ugly head! :innocent We'd love to have you join us, but if the time doesn't work for you then hopefully we can meet up another time during the week!

TomKat, are you and/or your group going to be able to join us for breakfast?

WE are off to the Americade Rally.. Unfortunately Maryann ( Yellow Trike at the NE TT Rally last year ) will not be joining us for breakfast . She suffered a blockage in her aorta on WED and was Life Stared to the hospital and they had to install a stynth, Close call. Lucky she works at a health care facility and it saved the precious min. I sold one friends trike 3 weeks ago and i am not wanting to sell another for a long time .

 

[spiritdream]

John,

Sorry about MaryAnn!! Glad she's ok!!! See you later this week - I'll be in LG on Wednesday!! epper:epper:

Sorry to hear that. Sally & I will arrive in Lake George Monday looking forward to seeing you all. Need a vacation, it's been the worst weather around here, set all kinds of weather records but if you put it in perspective, other parts of the country are getting it worst @ times. I'm eager to get going.....:woohoo::Biker:
