I had the Triton out there too- man, tons of awesome British bikes- this was by far may favorite, and it won the British group:

I def saw the triton man. It is one hell of a machine. Those vincents were def very cool never seen one in person it was a great experience. In fact got to see tons of breeds of motorcycles I have never seen and some i didn't even know about. It was like going to the motorcycle zoo.
 
Got to meet a few of my good DTT friends yesterday at the swap. Was really pleased to put faces to Vonyinzer, Justinlonghorn and Maritime. You guys were all as cool as I knew you'd be! Looking forward to meeting more of you guys at Barber and down the road. Any time you guys get to Maine look me up.

Hell ya Scott. Great to meet you as well.

The whole weekend has been awesome. So awesome that at 7pm on Sunday I'm laying in bed sunburnt, with a sore back, a swollen knee, a wicked hangover and a big ol' smile across my face. The bikes got over 500 more miles on it than it did on Thursday. Met a ton of really awesome people for the first time, and got to see some old friends again. Doesn't get much better than that.

A big thanks goes to Scott (Dreadrock) and his awesome wife. They opened their doors to us idiots without hesitation and showed us the kind of hospitality I'm sure we didn't deserve. Thanks again Scott.
 
Real bummed I didn't get to meet and hang with more of you. The demo ride gig I took turned out to be a lot more time consuming them I thought. Didn't get much swap meet time either. Had some fun in the evenings though but that's when you cats we're gone back to Akron. Still it was nice to see the fellas I did. Even if was for only a beer.
 
What a great weekend! Loved it. So wicked seeing all those bikes in person and seeing some of them get the snot raced out of them.
 
First time going this year and it was amazing, will definitely have to ride up next year. I didnt see any signs of dtt except for maybe one bike I recognized. We drove up from lexington, ky to a buddy of ours in westchester and went from there. May ride from there next time if anybody is in that area. Might I also add that the amount of h1, h2 and rd's made me quite pleased. Some guy had a purple and white rd 200 that was quite sexy.
 
Was a great weekend and got to meet and have ( cough) a few drinks with some great DTT guys Mike,mike,matt,justin,brad and ill keep some of the aftermath pics for later :-X
All you guys are cool in our book and door is always open ! Altho Moo had a bad hangover the next day i think thanks to matt LOL

. . . and you found three thousand sprockets to choose from in the swap! lol. I think the swap was the biggest I have seen there yet with lots Japanse parts. Hope you got that ride back on both wheels.

I have always gone up for only one day and walked the grounds. This year I went all three days and Sunday I trailered up three bikes, two to sell (sold one!) and the little CB to ride the grounds: what a difference. Having a scoot there allows for so much more meandering. From now on, I will always have something to ride on grounds.

only 361 days till next year ;D
