Marcarl Posted May 29, 2012 Share #1 Posted May 29, 2012 Hey I said I would start a thread on this, so here it is. Plans so far: MarCarl to leave home at 8 am, arrive at Casablanca about 9 Leave Casablanca at 9:30, arrive at Fort Erie about 10:15 Cross the border and head for Quality Inn, Elyria, Ohio, hopefully be there in time to have a shower (only if needed) and then go to QSL for supper. So who's coming, and where do we have to wait for Ben? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Posted May 29, 2012 Share #5 Posted May 29, 2012 Based on the current weather forecast calling for rain, we may not need to take a shower when we get there. Anyway, the plan sounds good Carl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard765 Posted May 29, 2012 Share #6 Posted May 29, 2012 I'll be leaving Caledonia about 8 and meet you guys at Casablanca at 9 in time for a coffee and be ready to hit the road at 9:30.. Looking forward to the trip. Seeing as how I'm riding a 1st Gen I guess I could sleep in till about 8:55 and still make it to the meeting place around 9:01... hmmmm?

saddlebum Posted May 30, 2012 Share #13 Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) ,So who's coming, and where do we have to wait for Ben? Uh I believe I was at Casablanca before you last year. But then I didn't have to come all the way from Onatrio Any one coming from Toronto direction or anywhere east of Burlington Wants to meet at my place, which just off the QEW, as in previous years, I plan to leave about 8:15 which will land us at Casablanca about or just before 9:00 am. My Motorcycle will be sitting at the end of the driveway until I leave so you can't miss it. Directions from QEW W BOUND. (Google calls it 403 W) to my place (2309 Fassel Ave. Burlington Ont) http://maps.google.ca/maps?saddr=ON-403+W&daddr=2309+Fassel+Ave,+Burlington,+ON+L7R+3P4&hl=en&sll=43.354697,-79.801072&sspn=0.004127,0.006856&geocode=FeqPlQIdIls--w%3BFbhilQIdBEQ--ynJz6As3WEriDFGYm_1fAbYFA&mra=ls&t=m&z=15 Edited May 30, 2012 by saddlebum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV1100SE Posted May 31, 2012 Share #18 Posted May 31, 2012 Change in plans for Nancy and I. To save having to ride all day on Friday in the rain, we are going to leave Kitchener around 5pm today, quick stop at Harbor Freight in Cheektowaga (pick up a multimeter and quick bite), then stop in Hamburg for the night. Ride from Kitchener to Hamburg is shown on Mapquest as being 2 1/2 hours (plus 30 - 45 minutes to eat). Should make it to Hamburg around 8:30-9pm... give or take border crossing at Fort Erie. We don't mind riding in the rain but this also puts us in Elyria early afternoon (Comfort Inn). Anyone interested in riding with us, let me know.

Jayceesfolly Posted May 31, 2012 Share #22 Posted May 31, 2012 Carl; There is a rest area on I-90 at Angola (the only one between Buffalo and PA line). Between exits 57A and 58. (445 milemarker). I can meet you there about 11:00 AM on Friday, assuming you are crossing about 10:30 AM at Ft Erie. It's about 30 miles down I-90 from the border crossing. My cell phone is 585-747-7998, if you have a problem or are delayed. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
