XV1100SE Posted June 15, 2013 Share #1 Posted June 15, 2013 Now that I've ordered chrome air intakes from Pioneer Motorsport... how do I get them home? One option is to have them shipped (USPS of course).... or spend the same amount on gas and ride down there instead? Throwing this out there... anyone up for a ride to Chaffee next Saturday (June 22nd) ? They should have it in by then. Could cross in Niagara Falls or Erie.... depends on if Carl comes. :-) Figured we could hook up with the WNY people if they are available... lunch or ice cream.

bongobobny Posted June 15, 2013 Share #2 Posted June 15, 2013 I/we will be around!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted June 15, 2013 Share #3 Posted June 15, 2013 I'll see if I can get the scoot cleaned up by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted June 15, 2013 Share #4 Posted June 15, 2013 OK here's my thoughts. Seeing as next Saturday is officially Summer and the longest day of the year, why don't we make it a party! I'll be glad to fire up the grille, the gazebo is open now as a living room environment, and the dining table is down behind the deck on the new patio I just built! Don, you can install your chrome goodies in the driveway, I should have any and all tools you need. Hopefully that will entice more Canadians as well as the WNY crowd. Big Tom will have to cage it because of Tater's knee, but I'm sure there are others that would love to spend the afternoon with food and fellowship!!! Yes, we can do an Ice cream run, we have several places within a mile or 2 from here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddlebum Posted June 15, 2013 Share #5 Posted June 15, 2013 Could cross in Niagara Falls or Erie.... depends on if Carl comes. :-)In Carls case that could mean both if you add one of his U-turns into the equation. I unfortunately will be unable to come as I have to attend my Grandsons birthday party on that day .....or I would have been in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chabicheka Posted June 15, 2013 Share #6 Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) I think i can make it..... Doesn't seem to be working out too well, Don....looks like everyone is tied up on the weekend. Well....it was a nice idea, and thanks to Bob and Becky for the invitation. UPS sounds like a better alternative at this point. Anyway, i will sit on the sidelines for now. Edited June 17, 2013 by chabicheka not much interest shown by others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midicat Posted June 15, 2013 Share #8 Posted June 15, 2013 Can't do it guys. We're off to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame that weekend. To those who make the trip...have fun. Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayceesfolly Posted June 15, 2013 Share #9 Posted June 15, 2013 Bob: I would like to come down for the party, but I have a graduation ceremony to go to and can't get out of it. "The Boss" mumbled something about my dead body??? Not sure what she meant. I'm still breathing as of this writing, and she said that to insure I stay that way, I better show up at the graduation ceremony. Sometimes it's just not worth it to get out of bed in the morning! Sure would like to be there but to insure my participation in future parties (hard to party when you have a frying pan lump on the back of your head , ....ask Yammer), I think I better heed the words of "The Boss".

thecount Posted June 16, 2013 Share #12 Posted June 16, 2013 Not able to go. TOO many commitments. I have to give up, yet another ride with the boyz! Following weekend, well that would work and that is the Canada day weekend as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted June 16, 2013 Share #13 Posted June 16, 2013 Hmmm, next weekend is OK with me too, Don, if you change your mind. Almost looks like you could have more riders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV1100SE Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share #15 Posted June 16, 2013 ...Following weekend, well that would work and that is the Canada day weekend as well. That might be a good idea. How many people would be interested in going down on the Saturday of the long weekend (or Sunday if I get Bob to pick up the parts)... or Monday July 1 ? Only issue is the border crossing and how busy it might be considering it would be a long weekend. Let me know who would be in for the Canada Long weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogman Posted June 16, 2013 Share #16 Posted June 16, 2013 Sorry Don, we are leaving that weekend for a two week Northern Ontario ride. Starting with a hot air ballon ride in your neck of the woods Saturday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonMc Posted June 17, 2013 Share #18 Posted June 17, 2013 I see the invitation to join in on a days ride on June 22nd. Since I am new to the group and live just west of Georgetown ON I/we The {wife and I} would be interested in joining the ride. Border crossing is no problem. Is this a mixed group {male female} Any idea of a timetable? It appears that the group are from all over southern Ontario. Maat at QEW and 403 or somewhere along the QEW?

Don Mc It is a mixed group... (no comments from the peanut gallery). Definitely bring your wife. Not sure how many people it will be as a lot already have plans but even if it is just you and your wife and my wife and I... that would be great. Depending on where people are coming from I'll confirm the meeting spot in a day or two. In the past for U.S. crossings we've met at the Tim Horton's at QEW and Casablanca in Grimsby. From there to Chaffee is just under a 2 hour ride (plus time at the border). If we leave there at 10am we could be in Chaffee for noon and meet up with the WNY group for lunch. Might be less border traffic if we leave at 9am.... more to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted June 17, 2013 Share #21 Posted June 17, 2013 OK so it is on for THIS saturday? Do you want me to pick them up at Pioneer or are you picking them up? Are we eating here? If so I need a body count by Thursday. Is chicken OK with everybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV1100SE Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share #23 Posted June 17, 2013 If you are interested, Nancy and I will be going and DonMC (new member from Georgetown is in for the ride as well). Let me know if you can come too. We can have lunch at Bob's. If you have any restrictions on food... let me or Bob know. He is thinking of doing hamburgers/hot dogs and/or chicken. Could start the ride from the service centre at QEW/Casablanca in Grimsby... leave between 9 and 10am. Hopefully avoid border traffic. I think i can make it..... Doesn't seem to be working out too well, Don....looks like everyone is tied up on the weekend. Well....it was a nice idea, and thanks to Bob and Becky for the invitation.

Marcarl Posted June 17, 2013 Share #24 Posted June 17, 2013 So does this mean that I don't have any input into this ride now???? I mean, you could cross at Lewingston, or take your chance at Fort Erie, or try somewhere in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
