Shop Ride this Sunday (June 14th)
The Shelburne Museum has a motorcycle exhibit. I don't need much of an excuse to ride through Vermont but this seems like it could be a good one. From their site:
"Full Throttle focuses on the evolution of motorcycle design and celebrates the artistry of a mode of transportation that inspired a subculture all its own,” said Kory Rogers, associate curator.
Exhibited on all three levels of Shelburne Museum’s historic Round Barn gallery, Full Throttle is organized into three thematic sections.
• “Wide Open and Wild: Racing Machines” examines the role of racing tracks as testing grounds for motorcycle performance and design improvements.
• “Classic Cool: Vintage Motorcycles” features iconic examples of such makes as Indian, Harley Davidson and Triumph and explores how many of the improvements born on the track translated into hallmarks for specific brands.
• “Choppers: Art of the Custom Ride” explores the evolution of building choppers from early models where parts were chopped off to jettison weight to today’s custom rides that elevate bike building to an art form that reflects the personality of the individual rider. This section include examples of regional styles, as well as compares “old school” choppers to contemporary themed or fantasy bikes.
This is going to a long ride - by it's most direct route Shelburne is 150+ miles from the shop. For this reason we'll be departing one hour earlier than our normal time. Coffee and donuts at 8:30, pre-ride meeting at 8:45, roll out at 9am sharp. I'm figuring on my route taking us about 3 hours over some of my favorite VT roads. Please note that there will be a brief section of dirt though it is a very hard packed, frequently traveled road so it should be no big deal. We'll stop for lunch at the Warren Store (great sandwiches, sweet location). Cost to view the exhibit is $20. I don't know how long it will take to view the exhibit. If someone wants to leave early or stay late of course you are welcome to. I will be riding back to the shop and plan to get back before the sun sets - I hate to leave you guys riding home in the dark. If we have extra time there are some fun roads we can hit and if we are pressed for time we can also burn down 89. I'd plan on being somewhat flexible!
I should make note that the 14th is the first Sunday of Laconia Bike Week.I am going to look into this and see if it makes more sense for us to meet somewhere in Tilton instead of at the shop. Sunday is also the last day of the Loudon Classic so if you are interested in club racing maybe you want to skip this ride. Click here for a $5 coupon for the Classic.
Hope to see you there!
