All should be aware that the Gathering of the Nortons sponsored by the Delaware Valley Norton Riders will have a new location this year . The event has been held for years at Washington’s Crossing State park on the PA side but apparently the state of Pennsylvania has made it too difficult for the organizers. The new venue is in NJ . Details here:
 
Beware of police speed traps on Rt. 12. It's notorious around here. Speed limit is 50 not 55.
Yes I know from experience!

Good advice, Russ. I'm usually pretty careful on Route 12 as the trooper barracks is right there.

I'm with the club and the owner of Performance Garage Club, the hosting location, said he'll stop in at state troopers and give them a heads-up about the event. He said he has a good relationship with them so maybe they'll cut anyone speeding some slack. He said they might swing by to check out the bikes as a lot of them are into stuff like this.

I used to work in Flemington and commute on Rt. 12 from UBE. It was not much fun buzzing along in a straight line at 50 (but at least it keeps moving). Good idea letting the Staties know. Looking forward to the new location.

Who's going on Sunday?
I'll be caging this year due to a shoulder injury but definitely looking forward to seeing you all
 
Sadly I can’t make it - was planning on trailering the ES2 but family commitment has forced a change of plans .
 
Here's a few snaps I took at the event, for anyone who missed it. Left the photos big for maximum viewing.

Glad to see some people with color in their hair! Actually most of these bikes I have not seen a Washington Crossing. This will be a MUST for next year!
 
Yes, some rare ones really came out of the woodwork. Huge turn-out. Mine is the yellow Combat pictured and when I left it started first kick with one observer!

The other kinda cool bike that caught my attention was a Janus Gryffin 250. I had never heard of them before. Hand built, in Goshen, IN, 265 lbs and 70 mph - new-old bikes that sell for about $9K!

Thanks for sharing the pix. I ran into people I haven't seen in many years there.
