Maine European Motorcycle Meet
What is the Maine European Motorcycle Meet? It's a wonderful weekend celebrating the art, engineering and music of European and British motorcycles. Hosted by Sunday River Ski Resort in Bethel, Maine, this event which started as a one day BBQ has grown to a weekend long event that attracts folks from all over the US and Canada.
Over the years the attendance has gone from around 35 folks to over 300. The weekend events include, a meet and greet on Friday evening, a "Vintage" tour, "Adventure" tours, a covered bridge tour, as well as rides through the western mountains of Maine and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Vendors display bikes and gear throughout the weekend with past displays by Street Cycles (BMW and Triumph), Moto Milano (Ducati, VT Cycles (Ural and Royal Enfield), Great Bay Motorcycles (Ducati and Triumph) and The Motorcycle Shop. There are raffles for all sorts of odds and ends with past prizes from Whitehorse Gear, Spectro Oils, Cagiva USA, Shoei, Red Bull, Caravan B+B, The Bethel Inn, Staintune Exhaust and more. A 50/50 raffle is also drawn twice during the weekend.
Saturday evening brings the yearly party with a dinner and entertainment, which includes folks trying to stump me in a game of motorcycle trivia. In the past we've had some great times and it will surely continue this year. As the meet has gotten bigger over the years, reservations should be made to make sure you have a seat and there is enough food to go around.
Sunday brings the British and European Motorcycle show and this, as with the rest of the meet, continues to grow in attendance. The machinery displayed at the show is of the highest caliber. Past winners have been a Benelli six, a trick Laverda Jota, a titainium framed carbon fiber wheeled Ducati and more. Lots to see and a BBQ tops things off.
New this year: The Motorcycle Shop of Freeport, Maine has stepped up to present the meet. Because of this, we will be having live entertainment during the show on Sunday as well as the entertainment on Saturday night. They'll also have a big trailer full of gear and have a bunch of vintage bikes on display. I thank the crew at the shop for offering to help make this an even better event this year.
This year's event will be on July 25-27th at Sunday River Ski Resort in Bethel, Maine.
