Where is the Harley award?

Ok, we're approaching the home stretch on preparations...the banner is on it's way to me from John in Texas, the Harley Award was won by Gary last year, who knows what his handle is here so I can get in touch with him?

Fossil,

For the whole story on the rally, go to the top of this thread and page through for the hotel info. The Sat and Sun route maps are posted here:

As for the style of riding, we have all types of bikes and all types of riders. There will be a good mix of twisties and mountain roads, something for everyone. Those that want to get nuts (ahem, no names here) usually break off ahead to blast off some steam, then regroup later. We throw in a few scenic / historic stops for fun. Bring whatever /whomever you want, you're sure to fit in.


See you in May!

NE Rally

I just joined, so I'm a little behind on things. Can some one give me the whole story on the Rally? I've go a sidecar outfit and a solo bike, so I need to know if the ride will be "spirited" so I know what (and who) to bring.

Drivers license , birth certificate, social security card, the more you have the easier time you'll have crossing. I have a passport which makes crossing a breeze! Hope you can make it, we had a blast last year!
Means you can get in to Canada ,
but might mean you stay in Canada too.

I just went across the Canadian border this past weekend... I have my Passport ..it took 20 mins total time to enter Canada and 5 mins to re-enter the USA...so the Passport made the whole process quite expedient. As of June 1st '09 You will need a Passport to re-enter the USA...this is NOT heresay it is FACT....

Hi Phil. No XS at this time.. well, not running anyway. I really must get busy on it, either that or make someone one heck of a deal on some parts.

If all goes well, looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Hi Brian good to see you back on XS11.com Is your XS running? we could find somewhere to "store" it for the week you are in New Brunswick? Let me check with HamJam if there is a spare bed. If you bring a van load of Alpine they will forget you did not bring the bike

only if you want back in the states and right now I'm not sure where its better.

Hey Ralph, the economy in both countries are in the crapper so it doesn't make much difference.

Hello boys and girls... long time since I've been on here. Anyone current on accomodations for the rally? Are they all booked up yet? Looks like I'm moving my daughter to New Brunswick,CA the weekend before, via Dad's van lines. Got the week off so trying to work a stop at the rally on the way back, but nothing's cast in stone yet. Mind you, I WILL be in the cage, but as long as I bring beer it'll be OK.

Thought this information might be of interest to anyone going.

Average Weather for Brattleboro, VT

Looks like May averages a high of 70 and low of 45. Should be pretty nice (hopefully).

[FSCGunslinger]

Alrighty! It's official! I just finished filling out my leave packet and made my reservations for the Colonial! I am very excited about this! It'll be the first vacation I've taken w/o a family member or other friend that I already know.
