Hammerhead1st looks to be in or near Perry, about 40 miles south of you.
Those Canadians will likely cross at Niagra. Might want to hook up with them, although their partying skills surpass any focused effort to get anywhere in a timely manner...... I'm just saying.....

Hi Marty,
I will be coming up from Atlanta to arrive Friday.
HamJam and Lennert are planing a sweep though Wetern PA. Not sure what Gary will do.
Tom will no doubt be along shortly to tell us what he is planning.
Wayne and the Phoenix are once again riding together but not heard what his routing/timing is.
I plan to stop at the Glen Curtiss museum in Hammondsport NY
on Monday to break up the ride home.
Back roads are better

Hi everyone. Im new to this forum, so I figured I would introduce myself. I ride a 1978 titled 1979 xs1100F. I just put new std pistons, rings, pins and clips & valve seals, kicker shaft seal, and shift shaft seal this year(about a week ago). With about 300 miles on her so far she is doing good. I need to adjust and sync the carbs yet though. I also need to install a"new" middle drive unit. That should be here tomorrow. Then get a shield for the fairing I got with the bike which is a Yam fairing. I will then upgrade from the 8-track to a cd? Dont know for sure yet. Also, I may reinstall the saddlebags which match the fairing and probably order a new trunk(I dont have one at all). Im going for the Pappy bike just schooled you look. Is this wrong since Im only 28? Well, anyway I may ride out Saturday to browse the other bikes and enjoy some riding with you, its only a 4 hour drive right down I80. Dont know for sure yet. Im taking the family to Niagara the weekend before. Im glad I found this site and if I dont make it out there ride fast, but ride safe.
I have to work 3-11 on Friday to get paid for the holiday, so I'll be leaving here around 12am Sat with SWMBO in tow in the van. We should get there for breakfast Sat morning. Ride home could fun Monday with some of the locals and Kanucks in this area heading back...I'd sure like to bunch up and ride home with the pack...

"If we don't do it, who will?"
Some people have one of those days, I have one of those lives...
I just got off the phone with Mandy at the Budget Inn, don't know how the rumor got started that she's fully booked, but she said she has some 'new people' at the desk?
Anyway, there are still rooms available, so if anyone that booked at the Super 8 wants to switch, now is the time.
I tried to book on line Sunday morning and was told the hotel was full for those dates. I phoned and told them I was coming down for the XS Rally thinking maybe they had set aside a block of rooms. No such luck, I was told the again that the hotel was booked solid for that weekend.
I'm booked at the Super 8 so I'll leave it at that.
Cheers,
Paul

Seeing as how you asked?
I'm taking one and a half days to travel down, wandering across PA showing Pam a couple of highlights of that fair state, that I have seen.
Figure to stop over night (thursday)in Wellsboro...Doesn't sound very far eh?
and make the final trip on friday maybe arriving in the early afternoon.... that is if I don't see another road I might want to wander down.
Monday will be slab all the way home.
