Southern Ontario XS owners- I have enjoyed so many of their ralleys, that they tell me I am now a member. I bet this will be good too.

XSnorth sounds like fun. I would like to attend...Not ready to commit yet, but that wonderful Canadien Maple Syrup is a good reason to go.
Plan- I have begun careful rationing of my remaining supply, suplemented by inferior local product. I need to make it last until the snow melts in the Great White North. I have washed a fancy maple leaf shaped bottle, displayed empty on kitchden counter. Perhaps one more dose of butter flavered high fructose corn syrup poured over delicious french toast...Family is getting closer to encouraging me to go. Should be making reservations soon. They may be asking me to go after more of the good syrup. Even though it is a long way, I am willing to do it. By summer they may even help me pack, giving me a good send off.

No snow here again today.

PS Please do NOT send me any Canadien Maple Syrup in the mail. That would spoil my diabolical plan

You going to bring up the firefighter tribute harley again this time Brent? And a fresh cigar I hope!

[MaximPhil]

Hi Mack,
You would like Brent's XS. He cleaned it up this year. It looks real pretty I expect he will bring the firefighter Harley though as he has gallons of Maple Syrup to transport back home

Thank you Phil. Not a show bike or restoration, but Much improved. It looked so much better that I had trouble recognizing it myself. Several times I wondered "whose bike is that? I thought I left mine around here." Then on closer inspection, I recognized some details that are uniquely mine.

Yes, I just got some more cigars, and will likely get more before XSnorth. Which bike will I use to haul syrup. ?? XS can carry the load. I have added hard luggage to my Buell. Even though load carrying capacity is about 100 lbs less than HD road king or XS11, one up it carries enough. On long trips I often consider mpg. when figuring the cost... Sometimes the biggest seat or windshield wins out.

Miles per gallon on my XS has only consistently topped 40mpg on one trip. I had some air leaks & other carb problems. Had to take it easy. I repaired most of those and mpg is again in the low 30s for my XS. Perhaps I twist the throttle too hard and have too much fun on it. Could be If I take another bike there, I can save putting miles on my XS. The pretty tank I put on is a 4 gallon Special tank. Shorter range is also a consideration. Still, it might be fun to show it to some of my XSive friends who have not seen it.

Let me know if you want a web page for this event. I've been hosting pages for other rallies on my domain. I'm not an html expert but can build a basic site so all the info is in one place. Handy if the thread gets long.

I can also host photos in a gallery format for post-rally talk.

Sample page is at www.appleattic.net/xs11.htm. This was my web page for the Durango Rally.

Or, if you are good at html, send me the page you create and I'll host it.

Let's just call it an "incentive"
Brent, I have a supplier for locally produced maple syrup.
It is not available in stores, it is only available directly from the producer.
This stuff is so good it should be illegal. Cardboard would taste fantastic with this syrup on it.
I may have an extra bottle or two on hand at Rally time.
I suggest the dark syrup, for full effect.

Incentive! yes I am a fan of the darker syrup too.
I understand that this web site shows some good back road routes in Ontario. www.escapethe400.com

Springtime is coming. (you do not even want to hear of temps in GA today)

There are other "incentives" too ..................
For those that aren't into the sweet treats; this is another type of incentive!

btw: this stuff been outlawed yet??


Poutine, gotta love it! Its part of my "incentive" to think about heading north in June.

I put this on the calendar Wayne, but may be headed out West again around that time.
Will need to split a room, but can't yet commit. What a predicament!

Also, there is a problem of no health insurance coverage at the moment for Canada. What do folks here do if they have that problem? I like getting north a few times a year and this is a big problem.
