O.K., sounds like we're comin' up with a plan! :)

We will meet at Archie's Restaurant at 10-11am and have a bite to eat before we take off.  It's easy to get to as it's right on M-15, just north of Davison Rd..  Do you think you can make it all the way up here by then Tripps?  I can give more detailed directions if anyone needs them.

Anybody else gonna join us?
So far we got :
Dave the Welder
and myself

Sorry you can't make it Kevin.  Do catch up with us tho!

Next step is where do we go from here?  I've heard that we are going to Tawas, but not where in Tawas.  Bruce?

MJ
Hey guys, I been watching this trying to make sense of it all.  Not sure if I will meet you guys at Archies or just head for Tawas.  Probably ride with Bruce (and whoever else joins in) straight to Tawas.  I think Bruce had a campground in mind there...not sure why he has not posted on here of late.

Tripps and Becken - I'll be in North East, PA this weekend (arriving Thursday and leaving Sunday) and will head back to Cleveland on Sunday, Tripps you wanna ride GZ down to me?

Sure, I can make it by around 11:00 Sunday, I think, where shall we meet?

Larecords has my phone #, but if you read this, Boomerang's is only about 1/4 mile from the Peace Bridge, at 995 Niagara, looks like you just make a left off the bridge onto Busti/Niagara.

I'm working it!  My original thought was the state park at Tawas Point, but they want us to pay for 2 nights.  And they have pretty tight restrictions on refreshments.

Looking at 2 private campgrounds now, one with a group camp site and a camp store that sells beer & wine.  I'm guessing we'll have 8 to 12 bikes/riders there.  Sound about right?

We shouldn't have any trouble at Cycle Moore, but I'll give them a call just in case they have a something big planned there.

Hi, guys, I need a favor. I got caught 35 miles from home last night in the hardest thunderstorm I've ever been in on a bike. I think I smoked my phone, it wasn't working at all, I had it in a bag of rice all day, I got it to turn on, I saw I had a text message from Larecords but couldn't access it. I will probably get a new one by tomorrow afternoon, but if anyone has larecord's number, PM me and I'll give you my wife's number to text him, thanks.

So Larry & I met up & I rode with him 1/2 way to downtown Toronto where he is staying tonite.  At least GZ3 had a short ride on an SOHC4 in Canada! Can't thank Larry enough for making the effort to meet & give me a chance to ride a bit, he' s doing some serious miles again this year.  Safe riding Bro.  8) 8)

Long shot question:

Does anyone have a spouse, significant other, friend or buddy who will be tagging along in a cage?
