chabicheka Posted August 9, 2013 Share #4 Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) I was thinking of leaving early sat morning and coming back sunday afternoon. Not 100% sure though, cause have to prepare for a big trip to Africa. May even cage it if wife insists on coming along. Don't think i will make it.... visitors that I thought were going to be here for just a few days decided to extend their stay.

saddlebum Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted August 9, 2013 saddlebum, will you be crossing in western NY or the 1000 Islands? Western NY. 1000 islands is way out of my way. If Trader is going he may cross at 1000 islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huggy Posted August 9, 2013 Share #7 Posted August 9, 2013 JohnT don't forget to bring the radio stuff! I was going to try and get down for the Pioneer get together but not possible. When Wayne gets back from his trip east we are going to bongobobny's to pick up what's there for me. Perhaps one of the Ontario guys can bring the radio stuff back for me. If not give it to Bob and I'll get it from him when I get the other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddlebum Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share #8 Posted August 13, 2013 For any one going to WNY mini rally I am heading down Fri. Have not set exact time but would like to cross the border before 11:00 am to avoid the weekend rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted August 13, 2013 Share #9 Posted August 13, 2013 Western NY. 1000 islands is way out of my way. If Trader is going he may cross at 1000 islands. Not going... Still sucking up for the International. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaving Thursday for Ohio to surprise friends and family,get some chicken wings at QS+L in Austintown, then on to McMenemies for a barley pop with Jeff the DJ. Head for Pioneer as soon as my eyes stop bleeding Friday morning. Time to finish packing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted August 14, 2013 Share #13 Posted August 14, 2013 Looks like I will make it back to Toronto (home) Friday night. Sure would like to make it to this event on Sat or Sun. Could possibly meet others heading over Sat am and would ride back after dinner Sat evening. Looks like good riding weather. Carl, have you got your ducks lined up yet?

dogman Posted August 15, 2013 Share #18 Posted August 15, 2013 Enjoy the ride and weekend, unfortunately I will not be able to attend. Have a safe and great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted August 15, 2013 Share #19 Posted August 15, 2013 Just so you know, the 1st ride leaves at 9am to the caves. Second ride leaves @ 11am to Elicotville for sight seeing. So if we want to join the first ride we need to leave Casablanca by 7 am. just so you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted August 16, 2013 Share #20 Posted August 16, 2013 If you want to do the cave ride, I will be there by 7 with a smile. To avoid traffic, I would want to be there by no later than 8:30 anyway (or after 10). What is your preference?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If we want to catch the ride at the start, 7 would be good. We can also go directly to Lockport, only about 1 hour from Casablanca. Tour starts at 11, so if we leave Casablanca by 9:30 we should be alright. I suggest we leave Casablanca by 8:30, 1 hours ride, plus 1\2 at the border would put us in Lockport around 10. Then we can add a bit of time for u-turns, BS and a coffee before the rest of the bandits get there for the 11am tour. We'll also get prime parking.

Anne is considering joining us, Also, maybe we could meet at Lincoln Park lounge - have coffee and goodies there and I would offer you a quick tour of the place.

stickhandle2 Posted August 16, 2013 Share #24 Posted August 16, 2013 So what time then @LP Not to sound confused, because at times I am.......are we still meeting at Casablanca between 8 to 8:30, if not it is not a biggie. Tammie and I can ride down to Pioneer Motorsports Park and then join the second ride to Ellicottville and do some sightseeing there. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LP is short for Lincoln Park, and that is a retirement home on Bartlett Ave in Grimsby,, the last Grimsby exit on the QEW, so past the Christy street exit. Exit Bartlett ave, turn left, south on Bartlett, and you'll find Lincoln Park on the right just before the intersection with #8 hiway. Evan's father and mother live there, so I guess we'll get to meet them. So the plan now is: Meet at Lincoln Park at around 8:15 for coffee and then carry on directly to Lockport. Want to join us, that will be just fine, if not, that will just fine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
