Where abouts are you in Ontario? There may be other folks interested from Ontario as well. We some of us have been thinking is the idea behind this event is a rally that is not a rally as we know them. Getting there is half the fun and folks will meet and pick up others along the way. There may be possibly two main groups, ones from the US travelling through Maine and ones from Canada travelling through New Brunswick all meeting in Baddeck Cape Breton. No organized group rides except we all will want to ride the Cabot Trail. We will all stay at the same hotel in Baddeck and the emphasis will be more on socializing and do your own thing type riding or impromptu rides.

Didn't Ring lower the centre of gravity of his Nomad with some chrome heavy object hanging from the bottom of his rear fender?, I always thought the Idea was Nuts.

Yeah I never understood that kind of stuff.
Kinda like the Harley guys with their vulgar stickers all over their helmets.
But that's just me, to each their own, guess I'm just old school in a lot of ways.

Hi Norm. I am two hours north of Toronto so may or may not end up being one of the farthest of the Canadian group. It looks like it is about 2100 km one way for me.

I like the idea of riding towards Cape Breton and meeting up with members as we travel along increasing the group as we go and then meeting up with those coming from the States. That sounds like a cool idea and a lot of fun. Of course the route will depend on who is coming and where the meeting points are.

You might have company closer than you think, Ringadingh is in Newmarket and a couple in Belleville have expressed interest. I will probably ride down from North of Montreal and Meet my brother there. Two fairly big days of riding from Montreal to Beddeck. Early yet for logistics but never too early to get an idea of who would like to go.

Don't hit the panic button yet. The bike had at the rally has over 100,000 miles on it. I just put the breather you see on it yesterday. These bikes are know to use oil at highway speeds. The breather is supposed to slow/stop that. You can read up on it on Gadgets page. I have heard BudMan put one on his and oil consumption has gone away

I got mine in the mail yesterday. I have put 2 quarts in in the last 6500 miles. Two rally running harder than usual on the highway and in hill climbing. I hope it stops mine. I'm going to run some seafoam in the crankcase, then change oil and add this.
