When everything points to Maine you just have to go,,, right !!!!

Last Saturday I get a call from a friend in North Carolina saying he will be in Naples Maine all week and I should come up for lunch one day..
Maybe an hour later a regular customer  comes into the shop and knowing I ride he asks "have you ever been to this big Biker Bar called Bentleys in Maine?? I was just up there and the place is great"
Then Sunday a riding friend tells me he just heard of a place called Bentleys and we should go. Well that's enough for me, I said OK lets go.. So I closed up the shop at 5 PM Monday and headed out to get a few miles past Hartford. Stopped just into Mass and then headed out early Tues am. Rolled into Naples about 9:15 and found their place. We sat around talking over coffee and I started with the fact that they came PAST MY HOUSE to get to Maine from North Carolina. He answers with --- well your up here aren't you !!!  yeah, yeah, yeah smart guy.
  After catching up for a while we all jumped on the bikes and took a nice ride ending up at Bentleys Saloon. We had our fill of Lobster and I started figuring times and traffic and figure 4:00 was a good time to head South for home. Other then a Brush Fire on 495 the ride went well and I got in a ride with old friends. Pretty friggin good day!!

It was real nice to get away.  One of these days I hope to get the time to make it all the way to Bar Harbor.

Well, there's a good possibility snow would be on the ground then ... so come when you can.
