OnSTOC Lodging Aug17-19,2007

[newbornst1300]

Are you up for a tour of some of the best roads in Eastern Ontario?
I have the Pickerel Park Lodge booked for Friday and Saturday nights at a cost of $555.00CDN and it sleeps 20 people so if we can fill this place it will cost less than $30 a person for the weekend.
I have several routes planned (which I will post later)in varying lengths to accomodate all preferences. There will be a BBQ supper Fri night at the lodge , a group lunch in Maynooth and a group BBQ at the Lodge Sat night.
The lodge bedrooms are taken as follows:
#1 TZMNDVL and wife
#2 Bones and Eddie
#3 CTYankee and Thane
#4 SteveST1300 , BlueSTormer and AGStreak
#5 Chris and Sam
#6 Janman and brother
#7 pgreen94, kawcatcher, RTR, MileEater, SarniaON

Camping on the Lodge grounds : 1 - Motomac

[newbornst1300]

Attached are some of the planned routes for OnSTOC in S&T format


15414

15415

15416

There will be some minor changes to these routes once I get out to preride them.
I will try and include Peterson Rd as well but it still shows a dead end on S&T for some strange reason.

[Bones]

Thanks for the update, Chris. :headbang:

[newbornst1300]

Here is the website for Pickerel Park FYI.

[eddiemack]

Thanks Chris! I'm looking forward to the event.

[RaYzerman]

Chris, I believe you had some motel info posted last time. Any chance of doing that again, and any recommended over the others?

[motomac]

Chris, if I come, I will be camping. I am torn between this and NatSToc as they are on the same weekend.

Hi Chris,
Don't forget if you like a little company on the preride,give me a shout.:04biker:

Hi Chris,

That would be great so I'll definately do that. Now if only it would stop snowing... :(

[STaps]

Amen to that!!On Tuesday had to take my wife's bike to Trenton.Started out perfectly sunny,but cold.After servicing at Trenton Yamaha it was cloudy and got about 1 klick down the road and I was into a snow storm.Do they make a plow for a 650 vstar?Maybe a new Canadian farkle!:eek:
Snow,a new four letter word around here:cus:

[catcher]

Yes! Count me in, and consider me a single for accomodation purposes. Looking forward to the company of those folks sensible enough to acquire an ST! There are some great roads in eastern Ontario. "The county" is special to me cause its my old stompin grounds from high school days, many decades ago. Napanee is where I was first alerted by a LEO to the new law requiring helmets. Sept 1, ?? Although my buddie and I had them, the girls we had picked up didn't. ....Hurry up, summer!

You are in for a single and post #1 is updated. Wow! we are now up to 16 attendees for this.
There are going to be some good times meeting fellow ST'ers and watching caveman TV.:tent3:

Yes, but do either of these have special rooms????
:wink: :D

[RaYzerman]

I'm intending to be there, just don't know which day I'll arrive. I'll book my own accomodation. If the folks from London, Niagara, Mississauga want to do a scenic ride on a slight northerly route from the west side of TO on Thursday or Friday, I'll put together a route (if feasible). I would like to do the Prince Edward County ride on Friday also, but that might be a bit much for one day.

We are talking about Napanee here not Niagara Falls or Vegas :D

Glad you can make it. I am hoping that we can do a County ride on Friday Afternoon or evening depending on how everyone feels after riding in.

[CDNolddude]

can anyone else SEE the routes?? I cant open or save it properly..
Probably just me but just checking..
I was actually thinking of going to NATstoc that time, but who knows..

[NBA336]

Hi Chris.
I am going to try to make the ONSToc event too, but I will probably stay with my friend in Kingston, who just moved from Gananoque. Hope everything is going well with you these days.

Cheers,
Barry

Thats great that you may be able to make it Barry. I will be posting more details as we get closer so keep an eye on the thread for updates.

[Janman]

Hi Chris.
Do you still have room for two more in the lodge?My brother on his Bandit and I are coming and was wondering if there was still room.

[newbornst1300]

Hi Chris.
Do you still have room for two more in the lodge?My brother on his Bandit and I are coming and was wondering if there was still room.

There are still 4 single beds available in bedroom 7. I can put you down for 2 of them if you are interested.

[Raven]

Carolyn and I had really wanted to join y'all for OnSTOC (I have witnesses that she said yes). Unfortunately, her father (in his 70's) is getting a hip replacement and it's been bumped to the second week of August. So, we'll be in Florida helping around the house post-surgery.

Please send him good energy and hopefully we'll make it next year!

[Janman]

Two singles for bedroom seven-sold,thanks Chris can't wait.

Sorry you had to cancel Raven. Hope everything goes OK for Carolyn's father.
We'll see you again next year ...Maybe DesertSTOC?

[newbornst1300]

Two singles for bedroom seven-sold,thanks Chris can't wait.

We had a cancellation so you guys are in bedroom #6 (two singles).

[Janman]

Sorry to hear about Raven having to cancel but we'll take it.

[dompa894]

Is there an OnSTOC web site where a yank like me can get all the details? Location? Lodging, and so on? :biker:

[RaYzerman]

Dom, go back to page 1........ I think what you need is all there.

[Flyboy909]

Hey Chris.. is there a bed still available in the lodge?

Btw, had a great time riding with you guys at Cobleskill this weekend... but boy did it rain on the ride home! But hey, as far as I'm concerned, it's all good :D

Kerry

[Mobatis]

Dom,

You didn't waste any time getting to this thread, eh? Look forward to seeing you again.

[newbornst1300]

Hey Chris.. is there a bed still available in the lodge?

Kerry

There are still 5 singles available. One is with Todd and Nelson and the other 4 are in bedroom 7. Is Nancy thinking about joining you as well?

[newbornst1300]

Is there an OnSTOC web site where a yank like me can get all the details? Location? Lodging, and so on? :biker:

No official OnSTOC web site but all lodging details are here on page 1 and also some of the preliminary routes. Additional route info is on the OnSTOC routes thread which I will be updating as I preride them. If you want more information about the area you can google Prince Edward County, Bancroft, and Haliburton.

[Flyboy909]

There are still 5 singles available. One is with Todd and Nelson and the other 4 are in bedroom 7. Is Nancy thinking about joining you as well?

At this point I'd say I'll be on my own... unless Nancy gets a new bike. If that happens and she wants to go, we'd have to get a motel room. But right now it's probably just me.

[Jeramy]

I'll make it out to OnSToc.. Won't be staying over. I'll just ride back home to Toronto. Looking forward to it. Is this the first 'official' OnSToc? It's something I have been thinking about doing for years. I believe I know who has www.onstoc registered! I'll chat with him.. maybe get a site together????

btw.. no rain for me on the way home from NeSTOC

[newbornst1300]

At this point I'd say I'll be on my own... unless Nancy gets a new bike. If that happens and she wants to go, we'd have to get a motel room. But right now it's probably just me.

I put you in room #3 with Todd and Nelson so I hope that is OK. If Nancy decides to join you we can still probably free up another room for a couple.

[Bones]

Kerry with Todd and Nelson? May the force be with you, FlyBoy....:rolleyes:

[newbornst1300]

The plan at this point is to have a BBQ at the lodge for Friday's supper after everyone arrives. Possibly we could do a short county ride Friday evening depending on how everyone feels or just socialize around the campfire and rest our butts.
The Saturday ride is around 600kms (400miles) and we will be departing around 7:30-8:00AM after coffee and a muffin at the lodge. We will be stopping along the route for breakfast at a restaurant around 9:00AM or so and for lunch around 1:00PM. There will also be plenty of stops for pictures and washroom use. We are aiming to get back to the lodge around 6:00PM when we can order some takeout pizza, chicken etc for supper. On Sunday we are planning a real Canadian breakfast with peameal backbacon and the trimmings at the Lodge so that you guys don't get hungry heading home.
If you want to ride further on Saturday, there are additional loops that can be added and if you feel that 600kms is too long, there are some shortcuts as well. I will have maps for everyone with the routes marked out.

[Raven]

Sounds like things are really shaping up!!

Thanks for the good wishes for Carolyn's dad - still wish we could be there but he'll need us more. :hurt1:

[Flyboy909]

I put you in room #3 with Todd and Nelson so I hope that is OK. If Nancy decides to join you we can still probably free up another room for a couple.

Sounds good... at this point we'll assume I'll be solo. Slight chance it'll change... she just DID get a new bike :sbs1:

[CTYankee]

Sounds good... at this point we'll assume I'll be solo.

Kerry:
Not for nothing bro - but bring earplugs...Todd snores like a S.O.B. :eek:

er...okay...I'm the one who snores- so bring the earplugs just the same.

Consider yourself warned. :D

[Flyboy909]

Sounds like I'll have to anesthetize myself before turning in ;)

[Kempo-STer]

The knife got put into the trip today..

Not because I am moving or the new house, but because I have an implementation at work and cannot get the time off..

Sorry guys..

Sorry guys..

Caveman TV won't be the same without you Todd but we will see you in NH and/or CT in Sept. so you will have to make up for it then.
Kerry, I will make sure that there are lots of earplugs just in case the soundproofing of the old lodge is not up to snuff and we will make sure we run into town to get plenty of anesthetic just in case.

Oh and for the record, you'll find out who wears the "S" on his chest..(and it doesn't mean Superman either!:eek: :) ) Just get a headstart on sleeping because he gets from zero to SNORE faster than his RT takes him from 0 to 60..woops, did I just give it away?:rolleyes:

[blueSTormer]

He gets from zero to SNORE faster than his RT takes him from 0 to 60.

I can vouch for that! Hopefully my room is in another area code :D .

[SteveST1300]

I have to confess I can snore with the best of them! But on the bright side it doesn't bother me!:03biker:

[Bones]

I have to confess I can snore with the best of them!

That, my friends, is a fact. :rolleyes:

[blueSTormer]

Hmmm. I wonder if I can sleep with earplugs in? However, with the proper anesthesia, I may not need them at all.:D

[Bones]

Hmmm. I wonder if I can sleep with earplugs in? However, with the proper anesthesia, I may not need them at all.:D

Doc, I strongly recommend earplugs when rooming with GRN, STeveST1300, Carl_T, AgSTreak, and EMack, or in the vacinity of Billxp. (Love you guys...)

Anesthesia...that is an interesting alternative. Does it make them stop snoring? :rolleyes:

[blueSTormer]

Anesthesia...that is an interesting alternative. Does it make them stop snoring? :rolleyes:

That would be anesthesia for ME, my good man. Plus, it's more fun that way.
If I remember last summer's NNESTOC pre-ride, it was, you guessed it, none other than Big Al himself that did the damage to my beauty sleep. That's why I look the way I do.:eek: Sorry Al, my apologies for bringing you into the fray.

[CTYankee]

That would be anesthesia for ME, my good man.

I'll bring some extra anesthesia with me to share... it'll will assuage the guilt of knowing I'm taking away your beauty sleep. From the looks of this crew - you guys need all you can get!!! :D

We have 15 at the lodge now and I need some finances to cover the cost of $555.00CDN for the two nights which works out to the bargain price of
$37CDN per person for the accomodations for the weekend.
It would be great if you could each mail me a cheque in Canadian funds to cover your share by the end of the month. Please mail it to Chris McKnight at 34 Alfred Street, Napanee, ON, Canada K7R3J1 and I will mark you off as paid as soon as I receive it.
We will be having BBQ'd Burgers and sausage, side salads and dessert Friday night at the Lodge and BBQ'd pork chops, corn on the cob, baked potato and dessert Sat night after the ride. There will also be a real Canadian breakfast at the lodge Sunday morning if enough people are interested. The cost for food and beverages should be about $40 a person which we will sort out after everyone arrives. Anesthetic is not included in these prices:D
I need to know how many people are having the meals at the Lodge so that we get enough food. I will assume that everyone staying at the lodge is in on the meals but I need to know from all the others ASAP.
Sam and I are heading out tomorrow to check out a lunch spot for the Sat. ride and we will report when we find a good one.

:( :sad:

[Bones]

Chris, my bank tells me the fee for a check demoninated in $CDN is $25. Ouch. Canadian cash can be had at the exchange rate, no fees, so I might just send you two twenties.

Another option is PayPal. Do you have an account?

[TZMNDVL]

Cheque is in the mail, count Elaine and I in on the meals for the weekend.
Looking forward to the trip.

Stan

[SarniaON]

Is there still room available in the lodge for a single? (My wife doesn't do any bike trips that are more than two hours and end at a shopping destination!) Ran into MileEater yesterday, found out about OnSTOC, and would like to attend. If no rooms left, I can camp there. Please advise and I'll send a cheque immediately if space still available.

STOC # 5450

[MileEater]

Hello, talking with RTR on lodging is there room to "bunk" with him. If so please let me know so I may send you a cheque to address stated somewhere in these posts.

If not is camping available onsite with this "house"?

Ralph

[newbornst1300]

I have updated posts 1 and 53 and we now have a nice restaurant in Maynooth picked for the Sat lunch on the route. Lots of parking and not too busy and the food is good.

[RTR]

Looking forward to this ONSTOC. I am in on the lodge meals as well.

[MileEater]

I'm looking forword to ONStoc as well. I will be in on meals as well missing Fridays as I will arrive late.

Janman thats great and we are looking forward to meeting you and your brother. Check in at the Lodge any time after 3PM as it will give us time to set things up. Glad you had a great time at the Gap. It sure gets crazy there at times so I have heard and it is always very sad to hear of a rider fatality. I'll have to get down there some time to check it out in the off season if possible. You'll have to fill us in on the details when we meet.
See you guys in a few weeks.

Ray

[RTR]

Chris, it was nice meeting you and Sam this afternoon/evening. Look forward to seeing you again in a few short weeks.

[newbornst1300]

It was a pleasure meeting you as well Ray. Glad you are enjoying lots of miles on your new ride. See you next month.

[RaYzerman]

Chris, I am in for all meals, thanks. Just got back from my trip in the Rockies, great!!
If anyone from the west or south (Janman, Tzmndvl, etc.) wants to hook up on Friday morning for the ride out, let me know. We can meet in the Milton area if that suits. I was thinking of offering an alternate route skirting north of Toronto so we stay off the superslabs, as an option.
Also, I can be available to travel on Thursday if there's any interest..... send me a PM

[TZMNDVL]

Hey Ray,
Elaine and I will be leaving the Falls around 9am and travelling along the lakeshore no slab other than to cross the Hamilton harbour. finishing with a short ferry ride on 33 before arriving in Napanee. Nice easy ride to kill the day maybe a stop at a Cycle world and GPBikes on the way. No real schedule. If you would like to meet up at Cycle World on Dundas around 10:30-11:00 and join us let me know and I be sure to be there to meet you.

Thanks, STan. If nobody wants to go a northerly route, then I can meet you in Burlington. I'm only 11 km from the QEW & Appleby Line (Tim Horton's ??) and we can ride together to Cycle World.. We'll talk as we get closer........... I won't mind stops at the bike shops.

[TZMNDVL]

Ray,

Looking forward to it let me know for sure a couple days before the trip and we'll finalize times and places.

Stan

[SteveST1300]

Chris I just checked in on this thread as I have been busy with NJSTOC. I will try and get that money to you ASAP. What about PAYPAL?

Hey RTR,Rayzerman and TZMDVL.It would be nice if we could all hook up for the ride to Onstoc.Let me know sometime before we go where we could all meet.Looking forward to meeting everybody.:bannana Here are a couple of pics from my Deals Gap trip.

[RaYzerman]

If Janman doesn't mind the small detour to Burlington, we can ride down to meet TZMNDVL, visit Cycle World, pick up RTR in Bowmanville (or at GP Bikes?)......... he can lead us in on a nice road to Napanee. OK by me, we'll talk as we get closer to the date.......

[newbornst1300]

Just to let everyone know I have updated post #53 on page 6 with the payments received so far. This is coming together really well
Thanks guys.

Hey Ray,

Sounds like a plan. Let me know when you plan on being at GP Bikes. I will meet you all there. Will be more than willing to lead the ride from there to Napanee.

Cheers!

Ray

Napanee, eh ? .... hmmm

so is like Avril Lavigne making a special appearance ?

:D

[blueSTormer]

Can I eat too??? Please put me on the meal plan as well.:D

I'm in for food :eat1: and caveman TV :cf1: and accessory refreshment :beer3: after the ride.

[NBA336]

Hi Chris. Put me on the meal plan too. If you need some funds before hand, I'll either send to you or email them to you. As you know, I'll be staying at my friends in Kingston. I plan on leaving early Friday to get to Kingston. I might come down for the Friday night meal to meet everyone, but more than likely come early on Saturday morning for breakfast and the ride. I might stay for the Saturday meal, but not sure. In any event, I will pay my way for all the meals, no problem, since I might be there for all of them!
Looks like it will be an great event and thank you for all the effort that you are putting into it. You've started something now!!!! :)

[SteveST1300]

Chris I got your address today the check will be in the mail tomorrow! :03biker:

[SteveST1300]

OK you CT/MA/RI guys start planning this thing.:03biker:

[HurricaneST1100]

Just found out I might have this weekend free and would be cruising in from Michigan. Earliest I could make it out is some time Saturday. I take it all the lodge slots are taken?

[AgSTreak]

The check is in the mail. Chris, Sam, see you in a few weeks.- john

Better late than never, cheque in the mail. I see I need to check this forum more often. As for meals, me too!

I was wondering where you were and glad nothing bad had happened.
Check-in anytime after 3PM Fri. at the lodge. We will see you in a few short weeks.
Thanks

Hello Chris,

Was wondering if you could give directions to this place, GPS cords would be great if possible.

Hello Chris,

Ralph

GPS Co-ordinates for Pickerel Park are : N44 08.859 W76 57.303
Street Address is 665 South Shore Rd, RR#2 Napanee, ON K7R 3K7

[newbornst1300]

Sam and I found a great breakfast spot for Sat morning right on the south side of #33 hwy just east of Millhaven Rd about 15 mins from the lodge. It is also a gas station so you can fuel up the bike as well.

[NBA336]

Hi Chris. I was trying to find out the breakfast spot in case I didn't get to the campgrounds in time, and I was having difficulty. I went to google but it didn't appear that Millhaven Rd and Hwy 33 intersected. Here's my link. I would guess, also, that breakfast would be around 8:00 a.m. since it's so close to the campgrounds and you are thinking of leaving around 7:30 a.m.

Hi Chris. I was trying to find out the breakfast spot in case I didn't get to the campgrounds in time, and I was having difficulty. I went to google but it didn't appear that Millhaven Rd and Hwy 33 intersected. Here's my link. I would guess, also, that breakfast would be around 8:00 a.m. since it's so close to the campgrounds and you are thinking of leaving around 7:30 a.m.

We are shooting to be there for breakfast at 08:00 so it would be a good spot for you to meet up with the group. I looked at Googlemaps and Millhaven Rd is labelled county rd 4 ( it used to called Hwy133 also). The restaurant/gas station is just east of the intersection of county rd#4 and hwy#33 on the south side of the road. Hope to see you there. Once we get out for a pre-ride, we will mark the gps locations for the breakfast and dinner spots on the final route file.

Count me in for attendance and a place to stay for ONSTOC!

You got the last spot Thane. The OnSTOC Lodge is now fully booked and we have 22 people for the BBQ's.

[adecood]

Can sombody tell me where exactly this OnSTOC is . I have been checking out the ST-owners. web site and It isn't real clear to me where this gathering is and what's happening at this get together. oh by the way what do the letter OnSTOC stand for. My 1st guess is ON = Onterio, ST = Honda ST, OC = ? I have seen these listings scattered through out the site but I don't know what they stand for. is it a ralley for ST owners ?

Basically it is a fun ride/rally/get together for Honda ST owners but we do not turn away riders of other makes. You got the Ontario and the ST parts right but the OC stands for Owners Club. STOC events are held in many different parts of the country and are always lots of fun and you will meet a lot of great people at them. Location for this event is Napanee, Ontario about two hours east of Toronto.

[Mobatis]

I don't mean to detract from OnStoc main events at Pickerel Park, but there's an opportunity to see a good show on Friday night in Belleville, just 20 miles down the road east of Napanee: Buddy Guy at the Empire theatre:

[adecood]

Thanks Newbornst1300 for the quick update on the lingo. Sounds like a good time to me. I'll have to see if I can free up some things to fit this in. I'd be coming from Mich. I figure it would be a 6 hr ride to get there. If I can't make It atleast now I know basically what these event are on the ST calendar

[SteveST1300]

Hey Buddy Guy that would be cool. The man is GREAT!!!!:bow1:

[SteveST1300]

What happened to everyone this thread should be live its next week. Maybe Bob and the guys up North are pre-riding foe NNESTOC. I am looking forward to this trip. I just had my new tires put on Avon Storms and did all the wheel bearings and dust seals. Just have to change the oil and scrub the tires next week to be ready.:03biker:

I was wondering the same thing Steve. We were out today getting some fuel for caveman TV and next week we will do the final pre-ride of the Sat route and get the food for the BBQ's.
See you next week.

[RTR]

I have been keeping my eye on this thread. All I can say, is that I am looking forward to next weekend. Should be a blast.

Ray

[blueSTormer]

Yes, GRN, Bones, Big Al and I are pre-riding this weekend. Tonight in Waterville Valley, tomorrow into Maine.

[RaYzerman]

I'm sure we're all hoping for great riding weather, and I'm looking forward to my first taste of a whole bunch of ST's in one place!! Should be a blast.

[SteveST1300]

I just got my bike back together tires and isolated power supply. Going out to scrub the tires a bit then back home to change the oil. I am ready!:03biker:

[AgSTreak]

The forecast for next weekend looks promising. Starting to get my gear together and passport ready. I won't forget the camera.- john

[Janman]

Not sure if it has been covered yet but do we need any linens or a sleeping bag for the people staying in the lodge.

[newbornst1300]

Yes, you do need to bring linens, pillow, or sleeping bag if you are staying at the lodge. I will send out another reminder for everyone next week just in case. You also need to bring a towel as well.

[RaYzerman]

For any last minute guys.... I am staying at the Fox Motor Inn in Napanee, and I believe I have a double.... will share for a small fee......... will have to call and confirm if there's any interest. I'm almost certain all the motels are booked (weddings on Saturday).

[eddiemack]

Hey guys.. this event came up quick. Wheres the time go?
Chris... whats the weather been up there lately? Mesh jacket weather or leathers?...
.... as for radar detectors.. I know I can't use one in Canada but hate like heck to not use one in the states. If I have the detector in my side bag is there the likely hood it can be taken at the border?... I'm trying to decide whether or not to risk losing my equalizer.
See you all in a few days....

[newbornst1300]

Weather forecast is warm for this weekend so I would say mesh would be best at this point. I will keep an eye on the forecast and update early next week in case cooler weather comes our way. Eddie , I would think the radar detector would be OK if it is switched off and in your side bag.

[WaterlooJay]

I'm planning on going, leaving from Waterloo, Friday late afternoon.

Not sure if I'm camping or booking a room.

Anyone else coming from the west thru the 401 corridor?

[CTYankee]

I'm ready for this one too. Looking forward to seeing everyone again. Will be needing new tires after this one...

Have most of the gear in place - see you all soon.

[SteveST1300]

Bob Nelson are we still on for 0900 at the McDonalds in Newburgh on Thursday?:03biker:

Hello Thane,

We have a group meeting in ST. Thomas at 7:30 an then picking me up at 8:00am at the first service center past Highway 19 ( Plank Line ) Ingersoll.
If you can get away at this time come and join us. We then will meet others at Ajax for 11:00am and do a back road tour to Napenee.

Ralph

[Mobatis]

Chris,

I can't make it out on Friday night - band practice. And I can't miss those. Too bad that I didn't have my wits about me a little earlier. I probably could have arranged for the guys to come out to Pickerel Park & plug in.

I doubt, too, that I'll make the 7:30 start. I'd be glad to hang aroung & greet late comers & pehaps take the shorter county run at noon or so . . .

[Mobatis]

Saturday morning I'll also have a STOC info kiosque at home on Center St. / Hwy. 41 into town & cell phone on for low tech types: 613-453-6110

No problem Gower
Possibly you could meet up with the group at the breakfast restaurant in Millhaven as we probably won't be leaving there until 8:30-9:00 on Sat.
We are doing the long route on Sat but there may be others interested in doing the county route instead as it only takes about 3 hours.

Good to hear you guys from the west have a plan worked out. We'll see you on Friday and have a nice ride in.

Good to hear that you are working your way here and you are obviously avoiding Toronto traffic.
You certainly have the LD award for this event.
See you Friday.

Nothing against you folks in Canada mind you, but Toronto is one city I choose to avoid at all costs!!! I'll take any other city in the WORLD than Toronto.

[Thane]

Big city traffic is always bad. The award for bad traffic (in my books) goes to Chicago!

But I DO hate riding through Toronto on the 401.

[Thane]

I'll see how the morning shapes up...

Thane if your interested in leaving a little earlier

[NBA336]

I'm thinking of leaving around 8:00 a.m. from London, but I am taking the 407 and continue on Hwy 7, then Hwy 3 until I come down Cty 57 and out at Newcastle where I'm meeting you guys at Timmie's. I've already mentioned that I might be late, so if I'm not there by 12:45, continue on without me.
Cheers,
Barry

[NBA336]

Well, my plans just got screwed. I'd like to word it the way I feel, but it wouldn't be allowed. I went out to the bike and tried to put it on the centre stand and the back gave out again. Frigg'n back. Anyway, i will be taking the cage to Kingston now. I am really sorry and am quite depressed about this since I was looking forward to it so much. Chris, I might meet you guys for breakfast on Saturday to meet the guys, but I'll be in the car. I'll be the one cryinig over everyone's ST's!!! Can't even begin to tell you how upset I am.......

Barry

[catcher]

I'm getting new Metzlers installed at J&R Cycle in Stayner at 1 pm, so it'll likely be 6 pm by the time I hit Napanee. But hey, we can't all be first, but we can all ride ST's!

[Kempo-STer]

Be safe everyone and have a post ride beer for me.

Wish I was with you:( :(

[zombiebritts]

+1 for that . I wish I was there too. Not allowed to ride for a week. Hell, I cant even lift anything over 3 lbs. *sigh* :mad::(

[RaYzerman]

Gotta love that Bones...... nice Canadian flag.... and I can tell you from an old post that he knows how to spell colour, and favour, etc. See you tomorrow!!

[Jeff F]

Someday I might even make one of these events ... Like to meet y'all and go for a ride.

I just got back from a 8 day/6500 km east coast tour (awesome!). I'm home catching up.

Have fun

[NBA336]

Hey Jeff. Nice to see you on the forum. Too bad you can't make it. I can't either. Well, at least not on the ST. I hope to see them at breakfast. Your trip sounds fantastic. If you took some pics, I'd love to see them. Hope everything is well with you and the family.
Cheers,

[RTR]

Looking forward to seeing the group at GP bikes in the morning. It's going to be hard to sleep tonight. I am really excited about the weekend tour. I have a nice route plotted from Newcastle to the lodge. Ajax to Newcastle, not so nice, 401.

Cheers!

Ray

[NBA336]

Hi Ray. As you know, I can't take the ST :( but, I'll probably still stop at the Timmy's in Newcastle in the chance that you guys will stop. I'm in a silver 2003 Maxima ST. You'll recognize my licence, ALEXABAR. So, if you drop by, I'd love to meet all of you. I'm hoping to stop by for breakfast too on Saturday. I was so looking forward to going with you guys. Oh well, maybe next year. :rolleyes:

[RTR]

We will make the stop. Hopefully our paths cross there this afternoon. Guess, it will be hard for you to miss us. As we will be riding in.

[Jeramy]

See everyone for BREAKFAST IN MILLHAVEN. (Sounds like a movie title). GPS is loaded.. and so am I. :)

Hi Barry

I have some pics. UR right, it was a fanatastic trip.

Maybe I could figure out a ride report. It'll be a few days tho' before that happens. In the a.m. I'm headed to the cottage on the ST (Muskoka - only about 4 hours - but I've been known to stretch it).

My lovely "1st wife" - (she just loves it (not!) when I introduce her that way -but I feel accuracy is important :)), & the kids, whom I'm hopeful will remember me:rolleyes:, are all there. Its been a few weeks without family contact and I'm eager to see the gang - on several different levels ;-) .

At the cottage I get to trade my bike for any number of boats and the opportunity to gas them up @ twice the price. Yee haw!

On to ONSTOC another year for me. Good-on the guys for getting this event together. Sounds like much fun.

Cheers,

[Carl_T]

Rubber down guys. :PoPoST1: :06biker: :07biker: :03biker: :biker:

Throw back an evening beer for me. The bike is in many pieces on the garage floor, gotta get it back together for NNESTOC. See you then.
