Sunday May 29
"Go West, Young Man" Tiddler Tour!
10:00 AM -- ??:?? PM

Similar to a Giro, but no scoring, no overnights, and no fees. For 1968 and earlier, 305cc and below machines...or something along those lines. And Moto Guzzis. The idea is to have fun!

Starts and ends at Steven Rossi's house (41 Orchard Road, East Haddam, CT 06423). Trailer parking available.

60 miles before Lunch, 35 miles after.Yes, we'll be heading West out of East Haddam, for a change. FYI, there's a short gravel stage along the way...as usual.

SPECIAL NOTE: we'll be taking the historic Chester/Hadlyme Ferry across the Connecticut River in the morning, so bring an extra $6 for the fare.

Route instructions to be posted shortly...

Ready to go...just finished giving my Ducati 250 Monza a transfusion to a tank of fresh gas, and a new Plug...If that doesn't work, I'll take the Aprilia AF1 two-stroke.

I wish I could, I've got my Sears/Gilera 106 tuned up, but family commitments block me this time.

Have fun!

Awesomeness everywhere....25-30 riders, many other visitors....at one point I counted myself as the last of 15 riders, equally spaced, no one braking, and just slipping thru eastern ct small lanes, 30-60mph

Oh, and everyones riding any kind of quirky you got in the garage, the smaller and older and foreign the better...and well, there was that Indian, all kinds...2-3 small Harley's, 3 single cylinder bmws, jap enduro, two stroke street, maybe three small ducks, bultaco street w Bassani (?) pipe, handle of Honda small twins, guzzi 250?, street honda 90 clubman with a sweet note, others I cant spell

Kudos to our hosts,...and the sag wagon crew

Steven C, Got any pictures?

Once again Steve plotted out a great ride, fantastic back roads just perfect for small vintage bikes. Connecticut really has some fine roads you just have to get off tha ones with numbers!

The Chester Hadlyme ferry has been in service since 1769.
