Trying to see if any of you guys have intrest in starting up a mini rally in the catskills in new york state. I found a YMCA place up there last year while riding through and it would be a perfect site. I emailed them had to tweak the request abit we would be an adventure group I kinda omitted the motorcycles for now. anyway frostvalley.org the place is right smack in the middle of the mountains post up if ya got intrest | |||

If or when you organize this PM me and I'll provide you with some nice printable route sheets that start and end in the Liberty NY (southern Catskill area). These were from a 2006 Concours Owners Group rally. There is some nice riding in the Catskills. | |||

i'm in. | |||

well I just got 2 guys without buells but I think I can let them in on it for now just kidden anyone should be welcome if this actually works it could be alot of fun as there are literally hundreds of twisties up in this area | |||

Brumbear: And bears  My brother and I where coming down along the pepacton Reservoir, and came across these 2 bear cubs just hanging out in the middle of the road. We got out of there before we could meet momma, but was still interesting. | |||

Count me in. The Catskills have some really nice roads, not a lot of traffic, and great scenery.  | |||

count hud-valley in. change the thread name and you'll get a better response(new york mtn road rally??) | |||
| Brumbear |
I will try but I do not know how to do it if anyone knows plese feel free if you can or maybe I could just start another thread | |||
| Xl1200r |
I'd be interested as well...not too far away for me. | |||
| Damnut |
Depending on timing, I might go. | |||
| Brumbear |
Ok I decided to start a new thread with a better title. We have a couple options as there hundreds of campsites down there . I was thinking for starters a 1 night thing if it works next season we can expand sometime in mid june if possible but anything can go this is all just speculations | |||
| Xl1200r |
I'm assuming you're thinking about doing a weekend thing? I would advise against anything that butts up against the first full week in June since that will be Americade not much further north. | |||
| Ulynut |
That could be a good thing. A lot of people (myself included) would prefer a smaller event. Others might like to stop by on their way up north to extend their week, or whatever. | |||

I am going to try and find a campsite that will allow a bit of noise would be a good word. I was thinking of june6th D Day baby but fri the 13th could be cool. And if it goes off I say in keeping with what other Buellers before us have done and call it after NY folk legends how about the VAN WINKLE RIP well hey it sounds cool anyway If you want to look at the centered area curry ny is as central as I can get there covered bridges and mountain roads o plenty | |||
| Ducxl |
I hope it happens.I've always wanted to see the Catskills.Minnewaska is nearby too.And the 'Gunks,those famous rock cliffs.I'd certainly get in on that.Just hours from home too | |||

It is hard for me to plan that far out, but I'd like to go. Homecoming would be great, but it's distance makes it too expensive for me to make it, so a back up trip with great roads not to far from home would be great. | |||
| Damnut |
Scott.... If you want to go to Homecoming you can split costs with me. I'm going solo as of right now, already have the reservations made. | |||
| Brumbear |
ok I found a site Mongaup Pond ny I will call them monday see if I can reserve a field or something as the Eric Buell adventure group. Check out mapquest ariel view of the location I think you all will be happy. I will ask for June 6 | |||
| Mikexlr650 |
that is a great area, saintly has led some rides through there that were fantastic. not much traffic either, should be a great time! | |||
| Froggy |
Count me in. | |||
| Hammeroid |
Hey Brum, looks like you are getting a good turn-out. Let me know if you need help with planning. | |||
| Brumbear |
call ya tommorrow sean | |||
| Brumbear |
I am gonna do just friday night and we can go for an all day run and try to end up at say the carriage house bar in barryville or in in a centrally located area for all to hit the slabs to wherever they go. Anybody want to suggest some roads to ride post em up and we will get em in on the "suggested trip" I would like to suggest and I will make up trip sheets once we finalize and just get into your comfort groups and go we will meet at points and put gas stations on the trip sheet I am getting a little excited I must say any other suggestions feel free to post em up definatly need help and input | |||

Since you are thinking about a ride to the Catskills, I had to post info about this event. The Rhinebeck Grand National Super Meet - June 13-15, 2008 | |||
| Brumbear |
I found this I can not reserve a whole field but I am reserving 1 campsite in loop A I got at least 6 people covered Email me if you want in when it fills I will post and someone else can reserve 1 Dave | |||
| Brumbear |
No reservations needed campsites only no cabins June 6th 5pm rain date the following weekend | |||
| Mikexlr650 |
cool, this is a great area. | |||
| Doon |
I will try my hardest to get down there. Maybe not camp over night, but I can easily take the nice way down from where I live. Since you are going to be in Livingston Manor. I would highly suggest taking Rt 30 around the pepacton Resorvior. Some really nice twisties in that area. (right where my bro and I came across those bears...) | |||
