    Hi Ben,
    No discussion. Where are you leading us on the memorial week end?

      I haven't a clue...I am not a very organized person for leading a rally...but it seemed to me that SE Ohio was an excellent rally...just a thought..

          Oh look we have a suggested area I recall that was the one organised by Mark based in Cambridge OH. It was an excellent rally.
          Does this mean we are running out of new places to explore?

            I dont know..theres only been one rally there so i doubt we have exhausted the field of all possibilities...I know the tradition of this rally is to change venues every year but lets see..at least 3 ralllies in PA..3 in WVA..1 in VT...1 in VA..2 in NY...so theres been a fair amount of repetition already...
            I do not seek to be a organizer..but did want to get the conversation started..but typically its assumed that whomever is leading the discussion....but pls I dont want the responsibility...

              Putting on a rally is a huge task. XS East does not put itself on. Thanks to those who have done it in the past.

                  Hey Ben
                  With nearly a foot of snow on the ground and -12C it is a good time to start thinking of our spring rally.
                  Are there any good rides in New Jersey? if we are throwing out places for others to organise as I have never taken the bike there.

                        ok..back in '07 the NJ rally with the ST owners was based in newton NJ...but discussions state that Port jervis NY..is an excellent base camp for the NY NJ and PA roads easily accessed...

                          Keep in mind that the majority of these rallies are on the east coast..SE Ohio was a fluke of sorts but turned out to be some awesome roads there..given my recent wreck and injuries..i can no longer tolerate LD rides and sitting in a saddle all day long..so where ever it is ..I am trailering...

                            Another good suggestion. Do we have any XSives left in NH?

                              Hi Ian,
                              would be good to finally meet you. While May is too cold for the UP anywhere else with good roads in MI. ?
