Hey North Star

Got the heads up from Marker . Only 250 spots first come. Just made the cutoff last year and it was a blast. Won best in show (200 bucks and a BRP Caliber Jacket) Spyder Steve won 2nd prize. Niagara Falls area has some great roads ( Niagara PKWY into Niagara on the Lake ) Hope to see you and the Misses there. Well organized, they had us leave on a 7-8 hour ride in groups of 20-25 Spyders spaced about 15 mins apart and one of the dealer sprang for lunch at there dealership. Also had a type of poker run where on your way to the rally you stopped at 3 dealers on the way there and 2 business in the area, turned there business cards in for a poker hand . BRP handed out goodie bags and GE picked up the tab for a 4 course dinner and a drink of a sociable nature and the best part only 1 1/2 hours away.

OMG, this would be AWESOME, long drive from ALBERTA tho, just did the tour 2011, with truck trailer and lovely wife ( 25th anniversary ). Perhaps another time.:opps: P.S. Spyder was with us as well. Thank god ( ran out of fuel northern Ontario ) Damn 911, has screwed tourism big time, fuel stations that used to be there are now vacant/abandoned. Thanks to the OPP for stopping and making the snarky comment , GUESS YOU DID NOT FILL UP AT THE SIOUX, Had lot's of fuel if the stations were still there ( still showed on the GPS ). All in all was still a good trip tho.

Sorry to hear about your Northern Ontario Fuel Shortage. We found from snowmobiling in northern Ontario is that many of the stations have closed we were told by locals is that the cost of trucking the fuel has been a big factor . The area where the Rally will be held has some great scenery and lots of good riding.

I wonder if this will have any effect on the BRP Owners Event in Colorado. :dontknow: The rumored dates for that are in that same week. We shall see. For me 25+ hrs. compared to a hour and a 1/2 it was a easy choice But future yrs. could be a test

We made the same plan . 29 hours to Darango CO or 8 hours to Magog QC. Magog won. Maybe we can hook up for the ride down Steve ?

Hi Folks !
We booked back in December but have not heard anything back. Is this the normal way they do it ? Thought I would have heard a confirmation but maybe it is too early ? We booked The Oaks Overlooking the Falls from Thursday June 21st to Sunday June 24th. for accommodations.
Appreciate any feedback.
Thanks Barry

Hey Smittystwo we got bit of a group ride going Thurs Morning. I'll be leaving Orangeville area at about 08:00 ish to meet up in the Guelph area for the ride down as posted above. If this is half as good as last year its going to be a blast. Last year they cut it off at 100, this year 250 and man did it book-up fast .

Being a couple of old farts we won't be able to be ready that early so we will hook up with the Gang in Niagara.
Thanks again !
