Regional Rally 2012

[davidjmurphy]

Dave here in Kentville Nova Scotia,I to will watch this develop and plan to attend. Riders from this region could meet along the way and travel together. Should have good weather that time of the year. My Laconia trips always get rained out. Riding in the rain sucks.

Hey Dave welcome to Kawanow

Well I guess you should have come to Maggie Valley with us Dave, we only got rained out half the time. It's a great group here, and we always have good time at the Kawanow rallies.

Thanks guys,happy to be here. Caper may be attending Thunder in the Highlands if so I will let you know,maybe we could hook up.

[caper]

Ok Dave sounds good to me:)

Got home form sea on the week-end,managed to get a ride in Yesterday. I got 300 kms to a tank of gas. The fuel light was on and flashing,but I still had gas in the tank. It was telling me I got 51.7mpg pretty good. Did both highway and secondary roads.

Caper: Duty officer called may go to sea sometime on the week-end for 2 weeks. Looks like Thunder in the Highlands is not a go. However things change quick in this business. If its on again I will let you know.

[davidjmurphy]

Duty officer called, have to go north for 28-32 days back to winter, summer is over for me. Drive safe everyone.

Well that sucks, take care. 30 days will bring you close to September. Some of my best riding days occur during that month.

[davidjmurphy]

Caper: where did you get your batwing and how high is the windshield. Looking around for one and maybe a trunk. Off to sea tomorrow -,hope to be home for the Wharf Rat Rally. Thanks

Fish has just added a poll on the North Eastern board concerning our joint rally. We would like your preference, Weekend or mid week as well as a rough head count. Thanks.

Hi guys, I think Norms still on vacation so I figured I'd post this here for him.

I'm a self proclaimed meteorologist so I've been checking weather history and from my own experience tells me that June is a month that we can still have spring rains and August - September is peak hurricane season. We don't get the high winds but we do get several inches of rain. With this in mind I think we should have the rally in July. The first week and possibility the second week is out of the question because of the holiday as a lot of people have vacation. This leaves (start arriving on Sunday) July 15th, or 22nd or 29th for how many days we decide.

Now, if it does rain that doesn't give anyone the right to hang me high

So let hear some bitchin I mean comments

July sounds good.Weather is a big factor. However here ln Nova Scotia it has rained all summer so you never know. They called for a hot dry summer boy were they wrong. I quess it didn't matter I spent the summer at sea. That's what happens when you buy a new bike. Short staffed at the office. I am presenlly up north between Baffin Island and Greenland and its cold. Plan on making this rally next year missed them all this year.
