I haven't been to Laconia since the early 90s. I agree that the No Conway area is great place to stay, but I remember it being a longer than a 35 minute ride from Laconia, especially during "Motorcycle Week". It used to take us longer than that to get from Meredith to Weirs Beach & that was only 5-6 miles, lol. I don't know if the Yankee Smokehouse is still up there between Laconia & No Conway, but it used to be worth the stop. Did stop at Bentley's in Maine a few years ago. Good spot.....has a bit of The Boot Hill Saloon feel to it.

Yes sir - we will be there Monday - Friday, been going for several years. we stay at a camp ground a few minutes north of all the hupla, but close enough that we can shoot down and be part of it all. We rent a cabin - it's a good time, counting down the days.

Ya, its closer to an hour to n conway, even with no traffic-- and yes the Yankee Smoke house is still there. Bentleys is a great hangout we make it there 7-8 times a year--be there over 1st weekend of Laconia--12-15 of June Rocker

If we're talking Bentley's in Arundel then that sounds good as well. We can plan on the first weekend (13th - 14th). Let's get a decision on which day and we can do this. I'm good with either.

Last year was the first time in a while where it didn't rain. In fact, it was pretty nice all week. Lets hope for a repeat again this year.

We saw this at a little store in Crawford Notch. (The rock was wet the whole time we were there in 2013)

Glad this came up, Me and my son want to go but don't know where the best place is, I went in the 80's to watch the races at NH speedway but that was the only time I have gone, I was thinking about hitting Weirs beach this time, it would only be a day thing or maybe just an overnight if we can get a room, any suggestions what is the best thing to do?

Thanks
