That's funny, Rick.Doug, He's not pouring it on thick. He's just telling it like it is. They have been wonderful friends to us.:cooler:

I don't want to officially speak for Dusty but I was with him in Tellico Plains TN this past weekend and he and Winger are headed out west during that time frame this year, although he did mention the possibility of stopping in to NASSIR 6 on Wednesday if he can work it in.
I personally haven't seen a lot of people talking about the event so far. There is some activity but not a lot. Have we published a schedule of events yet or a suggested ride list? I may be missing it...don't we have a NASSIR webpage that is available to us for posting the event details?

Each NASSIR will be different and picking one's favourite would be like picking a favourite son or daughter.
N-6 has the handicap of cost which reduces the number of attendees. The reduced number of attendees reduces options of things to do. At Eureka Springs we basically took over Motel 62 and could do just about anything we wanted as long as we didn't break anything. At Simcoe we are only taking a small portion of the hotel so we have to play nice.
Add to that, a number of members posted that they were coming but have not confirmed so Goldwings4ever has to guess about events he may be planning.
I'm not a fan of participating in group rides but I am drafting up some maps for those that are.
If anyone has a special request, something they want to see or do, just mention it and we'll see if we can make it happen. There are trips planned to the Warplane Heritage and Niagara Falls but if someone wants to see the CN Tower, Toronto Islands or any other part of the great white north let us know.

I had really hoped to make it but Belinda just can't get time off from work for that week. I really wanted to see some of those friendly northern neighbors again and Niagara Falls would have been nice to see but it just ain't possible this year.

I had every intention of being at N6 as it is pretty much on my doorstep. Unfortunately, I may be away due to work related stuff. I will not know until the week beforehand. I have therefore held off making any hotel arrangements, etc. If I am around, I will travel down to meet everyone, even if it is just a day trip.

Wednesday night would be the best night to visit if you can make it. That's will be our biggest social night with the auction.

It would have been good to see but hopefully we'll meet again elsewhere. I also hope the corporate changes work out in your favour.

Anyone traveling that far north and has some additional time and resources, should go on up to Nova Scotia and ride the Cabot Trail.
My son and I made the trip last Aug/Sept and it was really something!
Perhaps one day I can make it to a Nassir event...

LOL do you realize how Big Canada is? the Cabot trial is farther from here (by about 8 hours) than it is from Georgia .. It is a great trip but not an afternoon jaunt ..... 20 hours of solid driving - about the same as Buffalo to the Florida keys.

The wife and I stopped at a Tim Hortons near Ancaster a few days ago. We saw a couple of fellows on 1100's so we went over to talk. They were telling us about this Goldwing Rally in Simcoe this summer that they are going to attend. They are not members of the site but found the info doing a search on the internet. I tried to act surprised and told them that I may have to look it up because it sounded like a lot of fun and maybe the wife and I may go also.
So, if you're going, please PM me and let me know.

Our NASSIR 6 route: will be leaving Murfresboro, TN on Saturday morning heading due north. Moteling it somewhere around Terre Haute, IN. Then Sunday we are going on to Caledonia, MI where we will stay the night with some friends from the GL1800Riders forum. Monday we will make the final ride into Canada crossing the border at Port Huron and on to Simcoe. Each of the 3 legs is just about 300 miles so we should have a nice, un hurried ride and anything above Indianapolis will be new territory for us! We'll be pulling our trailer and flying the traditional yellow ribbon (or two)! Anyone's route or timing similar???
The route home is still "under construction" but will be more easterly I'm sure.

Gas up on the US side as it will be more here and there are no service centres on the 402 from Sarnia to London. You would have to pull off for gas / bio breaks etc. After London there are pit stops on the highway. Guess where the term "Highway robbery" came from?
The 402 and 401 are pretty boring with 402 being less busy. The 401 is a challenge to patience. I think there is a driving school that trains highway terrorists to drive in the wrong lanes at the wrong speeds. Fortunately you only have to go from London to Woodstock and then you turn onto a slightly more sedate 403.
The 100 you see on the speed limit signs is KPH and equals about 60 MPH. 10 or so over never got me in trouble and 120 KPH is common.
Right turns on a red are legal after a full stop unless marked otherwise.
A green light only signifies that the lightbulb works so look both ways.
Ride safe.
