Lobsters grow on trees\, and you get to learn a new language—they insist that it is English\, but I have my doubts.”Ed is referring to numerous unique phrases rampant among New Englanders\, a quality we love! For example\, during the rally you may find yourself avoiding a statie\, spotting a swamp donkey\, or banging a uey. Above all\, we hope you will have a wicked good time. If we’re very lucky\, it’ll be wicked pissah! \n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThings to do and places to go during the rally.1.) David Percival’s BMW Museum: If you have not been\, (I have been twice) then you should make this a priority.2.) Freeport Desert: 95 Desert Road\, Freeport\, ME 040323.)

SUMMARY:Remote First Aid for Riders
DESCRIPTION:We spend lots of money on equipment for riding\, riders training\, trips and farkles. But when it comes to safety\, first aid\, and GPS training\, many riders only carry a “boo-boo” kit. They rely on their cell phones even when there may be no service\, and basic knowledge of their mini-GPS is lacking. Basic emergency medical knowledge should be just as important as ATGATT. \n\n\n\nIn this hands-on class\, “Doc” Ken Hoffman\, DACM\, will discuss the fundamentals of rider safety off road\, what to carry as a bare minimum\, preparing for an off-road trip or an overnight stay in the woods. You will learn how to recognize health emergencies and practice basic life-saving/first aid skills that everyone on your team should know. \n\n\n\nThis course is being offered for FREE at MAX BMW NH on 3/22 and at MAX BMW CT on 3/29. Please use the link below to register and we’ll see you there! \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for CT Seminar

SUMMARY:2025 Frosty Nutz Campout
DESCRIPTION:It’s that time again! The 2024 season kicks off with our favorite spring campout. Bring your sleeping bag\, a sweater and a warm hat. Ride twisties\, hang out around the bonfire\, check out new roads and make new friends. There is a mix of lean-tos\, Connecticut River-facing camp sites and a few cabins (first come-first serve). Firewood is available on site and there is a store and butcher shop nearby. Hot coffee every morning\, but you MUST bring your own cup. You can bring your own dinner to cook over the campfire and\, as usual\, Ken will once again prepare an Italian pasta dinner Friday night for everyone to enjoy. “Spagetti by Springhetti”. Feel free to bring bread\, cheese\, sausage\, venison\, etc to share. It’s a great way to get to know the YB’s. There is a communal fire area and each site has a fire pit with a grill over it. It is one of the better facilities in the Vermont Park System for campfire chefs! We have been doing this event for years now and it is always a mix of weather and always fun. Invite your friends\, bring your guitar or harmonica or spoons and jam out\, hike the Long Trail\, ride to an art gallery or go off road. The best roads in Vermont aren’t paved. Year after year\, this is one of the best attended campouts. All bikes and riders will find something to enjoy. Please no loud pipes. Folks often will gather at the coffee pot / campfire as soon as the sun comes up (or earlier) and plan rides to eat. While this is spring camping\, typically the weather during the day is quite warm. Typical overnight temps get close to\, but rarely\, below freezing. If you would like to reserve a cabin\, please contact the rally chairs. Cabins are first-come\, first serve and sleep 4-6 people. They are not heated\, but have electricity. \n\n\n\nMail check ($35 per camper) to Yankee Beemers\, P.O. Box 2151 Fitchburg\, MA 01420\, re: Frosty Nutz\, or via PayPal at www.yankeebeemers.org.treasurer@yankeebeemers.org \n\n\n\nYour hosts are Bill Cusack (bcusack@comcast.net) and Ken Springhetti (kz1000@hotmail.com).Feel free to contact us for more information or general camping advice. \n\n\n\n\nClick Here To Register
