Oh, this is grand. SNOW, then more SNOW ................
Right now Commercial Vehicles are banned west of Buffalo.

I'm ready to make a "Run for the Border" tomorrow AM if the weather cooperates. Roads in fair shape, if careful. Was 0F this AM and had to shovel my way out. Just as yesterday that took 90 minutes of hard labor chipping ice and moving snow to get out.

You guys are going to have to start speaking a known language for the likes of me to understand which planet you are on.

It appears that goat is the new meat substance of choice where ever you are. And if it takes chains and snow tires on 2 wheelers to get there, I'm pretty sure I am glad to be here on earth.

Jeff - Be careful out there.

Car lot a couple miles away has Snowmobiles on the lot. Ready for a Test Drive. Funny, cars frozen in place covered with snow but Snowmobiles ready for a Test Drive. and yep, i'm being careful. Sure don't need a slip n' fall or some wipe out.

Maybe I can rent a Snowmobile for the weekend? Right now that is about the best mode of travel to get to the Peace Bridge.

Now that's what I'm talking about; GOAT

exactly the lunch i'm looking forward to tomorrow

I will PM & send message tomorrow AM if i get stuck and can't make it. Otherwise i'll be looking for you at the Bike Show at 2pm. Entrance 2 as hamjam stated. I plan to be there early.

Hi Jeff,
Roads are clear here in Mississauga and no snow in the forecast.
Can you say Cold -13C overnight staggering up to -8C by lunch time Wind chill makes it feel like -20C
so dress in your warm clothes.
You should have a clear run once you pass Buffalo which gets an unreasonable amount of snow.
Looking forward to seeing you. You have my number.

Now THAT was an interesting drive.

Woke up to -22C. Just lovely. Roads dicey. Couldn't tell what was black ice and what wasn't . 20 miles behind a snow plow which would have been insane to pass. Heavy band of lake effect snow. Now sitting at Peace Bridge. Sunny but above 0 F.

Going in

I hope you did not skip the opportunity for an XSive group photo. Shame on you if you did!

[dbbrian]

Head hung low

in shame...

We had a good time, maybe that's why we forgot the group photo.

Here is at least proof of one member in attendance. Our good buddy Wayne, testing a nifty camping chair in a rather pricey tent for your bike.

c'mon hard enough herding cats without trying to get them all in one place for a photo
