    Great to meet you Squirrelman, and to understand your passions! :)
    Great ride, great people, let's do it again soon! Let's share pictures 'cause I saw a lot more cameras than just mine out there!

    Wow, that's quite a ride to get to Niagara Falls. I am doing the other way around. I drove down to MD on Saturday. Saw lots of the bikes along the way.

    Looks like you all had a great time. I am glad to see more meetup/gatherings on the east side. Thanks for organizing this event Mike! It is always great to put a name to a face!

    Mariko and I had a blast and would do it again in a heartbeat. It was nice finally meeting you all and putting a real name and a face with your usernames. I haven't had time for much since I've been home but will post some of my pics as soon as I can.
    Thanks to Mike for getting this thing really rolling. Also thanks to Joe and Mike for taking charge and being our tour guides.

    Thanks also to Joe's friend George for leading us through the Falls to help us find the photo opportunities. Let's do this again soon!

    FYI Gorforaride the local news is saying you still don't need any more then before to get back to USA. The boarder crossing gaurds will give you a warning and a slip of paper on how to get whats needed and send you on your way home. They will not inforce the new rules for a while even with the June 1st start date. If your still local I would strongly consider getting a hold of Squirrelman to try to make your bike a little better for your trip back home. Call me if you need his phone #.

    It was a great trip everyone!! I had a great time meeting everyone, riding, and enjoying the sights! If we plan a little better next time, we could probably get some more folks to show up. All in all, it was an awesome turnout and to tell you the truth, I didn't think we would have more than 5 or 6 riders show up. I'll get my pics posted for all to see when I get a chance today!

    Anything special I need to know to upload my photos to your Photobucket account? Can't seem to find an option to do so. Is the album shared so other people can post? Thanks for the help.

    Great Photo's Aquagirl. Had a great time meeting all you guys and really enjoyed the ride. I think an extra day would have made it perfect. I look forward to riding with you guys again. I'll get my pics posted ASAP. Thanks to JoeFoe for playing tour guide, and to the banana slug for running sweep.

    That was freakin awsome yall.

    Thanks everyone for comming and for the guys leading us. Read the thread and youll see that I couldent have done it without ya.

    That was my first trip with other bikes and I had a blast. My wife enjoyed it as well (minus the extra long ride there and back in the rain)

    now that iv organized a trip the next time it will go alot smoother. I look forward to it. Ill be thinking of somewhere fun and great to do. something curvy :)

    Again, thanks for everyone for comming, it was awsome.

    mike

    Sounds like it was a good time...I'm really pissed I couldn't join all the fellow viffers. FINALLY got my bike registered and up to Erie from Pittsburgh after LOTS of red tape from the state. What a pain in the ass...but well worth it! :thumbsup:

    Very cool our Northern VFRW brothers and sisters.

    Hats off to GoForARide for 'riding' the worst bike the farthest!

    Sometimes you just have to say 'screw it' and go.
