If you are from Northern Ontario, Manitoba or even Northern Minnesota, I'm trying to compile some kind of a list of us, and maybe plan something this spring/early summer? There's HumVee in Winnipeg, RedRyder in Sioux Lookout, Roscoe in Marathon, Steve in Thunder Bay,(Lurker) HektoGlider in Atikokan,NoFate in Chapleau, just off the top of my head. So, if you're from Sault Ste Marie and North, Winnipeg and East, or Duluth and parts north, sign in ya lazy bastiges, and lets plan something that involves beer and camping and riding and stuff when the weather gets less miserable! If you from somewhere else north, and feel left out sign in anyway, I'm just trying figure out who is kinda close.
I agree RonZZR, we should host a ride/event of some kind next season.There are many good routes here,I know I can ride from the U.S. border to Souix Lookout on 75% off road.
Don't forget me you guys. I'm in kenora, ontario. Was thinking about a get together/ campout for harbourfest weekend here. what do you guys think? You game? Sorry, i know you said spring/early summer, but that's just the best time of the year here for a get together....but anytime is good really. Anyone else got any ideas of where/when? Cheers from K-town, N.O.R
Oops , sorry to miss out on you, but I couldn't remember your handle. anyway, we have all winter to plan it. Gotta go, we're riding up to that plane crash, my friend wants to see it. Here's a link to it: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=142159
I live an hour south of the Big Mac Bridge in N Mi. The trail system here is amazing if anyone is interested.
We'll find all the people first, and worry about the when and where later... at least this way there'll be lots of time for people to plan a few days off at the same time! It'll also be interesting to hear about everyone's favourite roads in thier area.
I know it's only one town over, but when is Harbourfest? EDIT: my apologies for not inviting Alaska riders, but A) yer too far away B) you get my driveway all muddy, and don't clean up well, and C) you gots enough threads of your own. So there!
I am not from the north anymore, but I did live in Thunder Bay for 7 years before i moved back to southern Ontario. Northern Ontario is sure beutiful and i miss it a lot. Hopefully next June 2007, I will be taking the lake Superior Circle Tour. First travelling up through Michigan along Lake Hurons west shore, then under Lake Superior to Thunder Bay. Hopefully spending 2 days. Then finishing the ride through the remainder of the north shore. I believe it will probably take about 6 days. I already getting anxious.
Let me know when the time gets close, and I'll see if I can ride part of it with you. I'm a shift worker, therefore have a screwy schedule, but lots of time off.
You are right Ron....glad you started this thread.....if it is anything like the Ontario thread...it should prosper....
I'm mostly interested in who the other ADVriders close to me are... it's unbeleiveable how many people lurk, but never register. Maybe this'll get 'em outta the closet. EDIT: The reason I didn't merge it into the other Ontario thread, is that It's actually to about the same distance to Nashville, Tennessee, as it is to Toronto, Ontario.
August long weekend...last 30 years or so i think. maybe we can make a split get together...a weekend at the start of summer and a longer one in august...whatta ya think? N.O.R.
We're not very far apart, and there are quite a few other riders in our area, they lurk here , but have never registered. Shouldn't be too hard to have a few get togethers (with some riding of course) over the summer. What bought you from London to Kenora? That's kinda a long way!
Ngorongoro, I see your a fellow scooter owner! SQDBR, thanks for the offer,I may just take you up on that some time. I have a daughter in Cornwall, that I have to get around to visiting some day....
Cochrane Ontario signing in... yep all the way up there. Great idea here with this thread, just found it. Winter's here but still got bikes on the brain. See ya'll at the T.O. Bike show, in a couple of weeks! Anyone needing info headed this way to ride, feel free to drop me a line, L OTS of trails here...
