Call for Action

Hi Guys,
Late breaking news. There is to be a Fishing Tournament in Haliburton over the Canada Day week end. This means that Motel rooms will be in short supply. Ray (at the Motel) has a group of fishermen trying to book rooms.
I know we have 8 rooms booked already but we really need people to step up for the other rooms.
Come on up and enjoy XSNorth. BOOK a Room SEE post #1 of this thread for Motel details.

Thanks for your support of Wayne's event.

Wayne

+1 Welcome Darrell.

I think I'll do this one. After doing 700+ miles days out west I can handle this. However, I will be on the FJR.

How about Mitch or Gary C?

I sent Gary a text message today, but I haven't heard anything yet. Mitch, I'm not sure.

Just booked our room, Ray says 7 have booked.

However that weekend may be busy for me with work, won't know until mid May

Ted

Glad you're coming Ted. Ray said 7? That's strange. My count is 10 so far. I'd better call Ray to make sure that he has the others on the XS list.

Thanks Ted

It would not hurt if you and hamjam sent Bruce some personal emails or phone calls to prod him on.

Hi Mark,
I called him today. Don't know if my persuasion techniques broke him, but sure gave him something to consider.

Hi Wayne. I've been following the XSNorth posts and I want to go. But Bruce is not committed yet and I have not talked to Dave nor the guy who bought my XS last year. We are all going to try and make the National Bike Show in Moncton on Feb 11. It is there where I'll try to get a commitment from all of them. If it is a go, room(s) will be booked in a few days after that.

It would not hurt if you and hamjam sent Bruce some personal emails or phone calls to prod him on. Dave will go,I know, if he gets time off from work.

BTW, Goggle route from here to there takes us through Renfrew. That's perfect because I can leave the trailer there like last year.

Rumor has it they are not coming this year. Something about a trip to Yellowstone.

First piece of bad news. What a shame.

I did hear from Brent. I sent him a PM birthday wish and asked him if he wanted me to send him some more maple syrup (I got him some real Canadian stuff) He said not to send any by mail. He has a "Diabolical" plan to ride up and get some on his own. Once his supply runs out his family will be packing his bike to get some more. He's too funny! I'm assuming they still have some left
I haven't heard from Ralph yet either. Hopefully all is well and he posts something soon.

Hey Dean, If you decide to come to the rally and you want to go west on monday, I am off for that week. I'll be glad to pick a route and ride west with you.

Just checked out a route to the border at the Buffalo side from Haliburton. Seems there is no real alternate route there because you need to travel around the west side of Lake Ontario. The Google route says to head west across 118 to hwy 11 to hwy 400 then everything is directly south from there. I can however find you a route that will take you south of Lake Simcoe toward Newmarket to the hwy 400. All that is doing is adding additional time to your already long drive.
Not saying I wouldn't do it though.
