Sure would be great to ferry across from Sandusky if it's possible.

We haven't had much luck finding a ferry, how does that sound slab?

 

[slabghost]

Still a lot to work out to make this happen. But it's looking good so far.

1)Why take 3 plus hours on a ferry to avoid 2 hours of riding?(And where do you go through bordercrossings?)
And looking closer,you "HAVE TO" catch a 3:30pm ferry to pellee island,and stay overnight to take a morning boat to leamington.That plus the almost $50.00 of fee,Id rather ride the bike.Thats what its for.

2)If it is a group ride/getogether we are after,why would you cut some of us out?

3)What year is the bike?I may have a good front E2 off my 83.

Agreed, Tory.

Nothing is written in stone so the plans are flexible.
I would personally rather ride than sit on a ferry.

 

[dan filipi]

Ok, let's all start working on the final route then we can figure out where all of us can hook up.

I've never been in this part of the country so I'm relying on you guys for input.
The above route looks fine to me since it's pretty direct, that's all I'm going by but there might be a better route say with less traffic?, safer? more scenic?.
From what I hear we should have riders shotgun going through Detroit.

I think we've pretty much ditched taking a ferry after chatting with chas and slab.
Would rather ride and besides it's $40 at least.

Everyone planning the full ride into Canada needs a passport or I hear some sort of extended license endorsement. If anyone knows of a simpler way please mention here.

I know we still have 7-8 months to go but time goes by quickly so let's get all these details nailed down early.

Here's a quick headcount:

The Maybe's need to work on making that a YES!

 

[mcgovern61]

Workin on it Dan! Already know how to get to Joe's! (He's only about 968 miles from here!)

 

[dan filipi]

That would be great if you could make it, Gerry!

You could maybe hook up with slab riding West to Columbus, Ohio.

 

[mcgovern61]

That would be great! Columbus is about 9 hours from here and I would have to pass him to get there! Might be easier than trying to get all the way to Joe's house.

 

[mcgovern61]

Silly question.....how did Chaz's bike get to Joe's with :smilie_happy: :Egyptian: out him?

 

[slabghost]

He bought it in tennessee i think then we had it delivered to Joe.

 

[slabghost]

DMV here says New York is the only state with Enhanced Drivers Licenses. Seems there will be two meets. One on either side of the border.

I'm just across the Ohio south of Columbus....and I have a passport....LOL

 

[dan filipi]

Hope to see you there, KY!

Maybe we should find some common dirt road somewhere out in the sticks and avoid all this border crap.

LOL Carefull dan,we may be monitered by homeland security.

That is not true.Michigan offers them and I thought a couple other border states did,but I dont know which.
But defeniatly Michigan.
I would suggest checking your local DMVs if anyone is interested,thats the only way to know for sure if your state offers them.Otherwise you need a passport.

 

[slabghost]

$165 for a passport! Gag!

 

[KYWinger]

My passport was $100 a couple of years ago....
