Meet and greet...May 10-11...come one come all!!!

[willys]

Hi guys....we are trying to get a meet and greet happening this May on the 10-11 weekend in the Minden Haliburton area.
It will be a campout with the possibility of motels for the guys who don't like camping. Camping will be at a campsite not in the woods.
We hope to have many trails for the guys who want trails, self guided by GPS and maps. and scenic backroads for the slower older more senile bunch who ride mostly on road. again GPS and map guided.
So, if you are interested...chime in and say so...anyone is welcome as this is a meet and greet not a KLR soley event. We hope to get as many KLRs as humanly possible to show up.
There are miles and miles of trails in this area as well as hundreds of miles of winding backroads...so I'm sure we can find something for everyone to do.
I am not going to book anything for anyone...there are many motels etc up there and we can all organize ourselves I'm sure...that way we all get what we perfer...ok??? I will find a campsite for us to all stay at though but don't have one in mind yet.  If anyone has any ideas or wants or anything...now's the time to say...please let us know...

Thanks guys and gals ...like I said everyone's welcome, so if you have a buddy who has a street bike and wants to join in...feel free..I do..

Although....I perfer we don't have a race weekend...thanks

OK..guys and gals....I have found a good Motel and campground that is motorized sport friendly. They have many bike rides and ATV gatherings throughout the year from what I was told. They have a $25 a head charge for their rooms or a flat rate of $50 per room for a 2 night stay. Some rooms are kitchenettes for a bit more. their camping is either fully hooked up for $25 a night or basic camping for $20.... They have an inground pool( not sure whether or not it will be open on our weekend, not that I'm going for a dip) They have wash areas for washing your bikes off after trail riding. They are connected to the ATV trails ..for your conveinience, whether or not you use that...???
The name is South Wind Motel.... WWW.southwindmotel.ca
Take a look and let me know what you think..
If you are happy with this place...I have a better deal for rooms than the average guy...the rates are what I said above..our rate that is...a saving of $5 or so from normal rates.
If you want to see what is around the area please go to the Haliburton ATV site and take a tour of their site. www.haliburtonatv.com There is plenty to see that we can use..I think..

So what do you think?? OK ?

So lets get going and post up who's in...Thanks

Pick a weekend. let's have some fun! I'm dying to ride my new bike. 
Do you know if we need OFTR memberships to ride the trails around there or have the politicians not screwed things up that far north yet?

OK...seems that it doesn't matter to most....so lets keep it where it was....MAY 10-11....OK

If you want to book a room....feel free to do so...I'm going to, friday night-sat night..

See you all there.....that is if I get my bike back together by then!!!

Hye there willy's

i think we can scrap one connie from the list and add a KLR,  my father just sold the connie and is buyin the KLR this week hopfully.  He had a look at mine and went for a spin and decided to change up! (he's been doin the superslab thing for a while)

I think he's comin up fri night but me and Koi should be there in the afternoon-sometime-depending on detour-side roads-and the occasional stripperbar-can;t pass those up

Peelers????

Damn ...I haven't been in a peeler joint for damned near 20 years!!

Wonder if they have changed any??

I will be leaving early afternoon friday to get there to meet everyone.

That is if'in I don't find a peeler bar!!   

see you there!

Hi guys:

I need to know who is showing up on friday evening or late afternoon and who is showing up saturday morning...please.
The reason being...It would be nice to know when people are planning on getting to the motel on saturday morning. That way we can plan on a time we can leave for the rides on saturady. that way the guys who have showed up friday won't be waiting too long for the ride staurday.  Man it's confusing...lol
Also...plans for breakfast saturday morning could be find a greasey spoon somewhere near and have an old fashioned bacon and egg type breakfast while we wait for the guys who are planning on going up saturday morning.  What you say?  Plus I plan on either hitting  Subway for lunch or maybe stopping saturday morning and getting a sub to take with me for lunch.  Unless others have a better solution....I'm all ears...?

So can we have a show of hands ...who is planning on a friday entrance and who is doing the early saturday morning apperance???  Also...what do we think about lunch and breakfast ideas???  This is a democracy...almost..lol

See you there.
