    Hey guys just haven't been able to find the time to get my bike running well enough for a out of town trip. Seems I have a electrical problem that comes and goes. Getting ready for a move has cut into any spare time to find the problem. I am very disappointed I was looking forward to this trip.

      i james,
      Well thats too bad. There is nothing worse than electrical grief. I had a connection problem for my ignition in behind the headlight 3 weeks ago. Left me stranded in the rain to boot.
      We're gonna miss you. Take care and we'll seee you soon.

                    Thank You

                    Well, that's it! XSNorth 2012 is now history.
                    With the hours of planning, organizing, phone calls, countless e-mails and text messages hoping to cover every detail to make this years XSNorth rally a success was well worth it. It is not all of the details that make a good rally though, it is the people who attend. I wish to thank each and everyone who took the time to attended this years rally for making XSNorth 2012 a success. I would like to extend a special thank you to those who helped me make it a success.
                    Thank you Hamjam. My map master and co-pilot. Maxim Phil, who helped me get the ball rolling and pointing me in the right direction. Marty A. for keeping the line moving. Mrs. Sixty Six, Dena, for bringing up the rear. Slo Mo for keeping the sun off our heads by supplying XSNorth 2012 rally hats. Grant Mack for running the sunday route ahead of time and supplying the tools to keep us all rolling. Last, but not least, thank you Rochelle, for spending hours in front of the computer getting my art work ready for our good looking Rolling t-shirts and Ralph for making the arrangements to get the shirts on our backs.
                    My memories made this weekend will last me a lifetime and it is all of you that has made them so special. I have shared many a laugh with some old friends and new faces who are now, new friends.

                    Thanks to all who travelled long and short distances to make XSNorth 2012 a weekend I will not soon forget.

                              Hello All

                              We had a great time at the rally. So glad we made it up for our first XSNorth. Wayne ... thanks so much. The scenery was breathtaking. Thanks everyone for all of your advice. We went to the wolf preserve for a bit today, and found a place to stay West of Toronto. We'll be heading to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto tomorrow ... probably arriving between 11 and 12. Happy to see anyone who wants to join us ... just send an email so we know to look for you, and maybe a cell number.
