Yeah , I hear ya . This weather sucks pretty bad . But the forcast seems much warmer and drying , so I'm hopefull . I live an hour East of Ottawa , so it depends on the weather for me too . Just thought that if there are a bunch of us there it would be cool to meet up . Maybe have a cold one together . Get to know a few forum members personally .

A bud of mine asked me last year about going to Dover. I never heard of it, I thought of Dover Delaware, maybe a Nascar race there or something.

Only after he got back and gave me more detail, then I realized it was Ontario.

I'm thinking about going though, could be fun. Not far, what, 80-90 miles?

I went a few years ago June 13, 2007. It was a blast. I actually stayed at a hotel in Brantford (a few miles north of Port Dover). Took a side trip to Niagara Falls. Lots of nice riding areas up there. I never did make it to the actual raly though. I spent about three hours sitting in a huge traffic jam trying to get there, but there was just way. Too much traffic. If you get up that way, stop at Hips Cycles in Brantford. It is (or was in 2007) owned by one of the guys that got the whole Friday the 13th thing started many years ago.

Yeah Mark , you're pretty close for sure . You do need to go there early though or it does get jammed up . They shut the town down to all cars and only let bikes and shuttle buses into the town . We're going to go Thursday and camp over in town .

I will not be there, but I have a friend "Double D" who will be there with Indian Motorcycle. Go visit and take a look at the bikes he will have. Tell him DeLane sent you over and for him to give you some free stuff!

I rarely miss a Friday. I am trying to free up the day to ride down, but would not be leaving until friday sometime. For those who can get there, it is always a good time!
