I have an idea for a route for the Southern Ontario members:

- TeK9iNe - Niagara
- Drooz - Mississauga
- Mark1122 - Cobourg
- 9AM53 - Moscow
- jeffasaki - North Bay
- rstnick - Sutton
- M357.5 - Owen Sound
- Jack - London

North Bay is a bit of a haul, although we'd meet up half way somewhere.
Maybe some more KZ riders will join in in the area.
I've sent out messages to all the KZ owners in Ontario I know, some who are currently not members of KZR.

thats the way i saw it playing out as well. it seems to work.
1 part i am mulling over, is how it will play out for 9am,jeff,to rstnick. i was thinking jeff might meet 9am to the s east (Barrys bay,1/2 way between them?), then travel southwest to meet rstnick (Huntsville, halfway?, then back home ? or would the 3 just meet in, say, Huntsville and pass it to rstnick ? just thinking out loud ?

I personally have no qualms riding all the way up to North Bay, I like it up there, and it would give me an excuse to get away from the newlywed wife that will likely be annoying me. That said, I am also down with whatever plan works for the others, I just want to be part of this. Hopefully Nick and Jeff can decide what they want to do.

Maybe like you are saying Mark, the 3 of us (or maybe you too) could all meet up in central ontario somewhere in the middle and camp out for a night and then Nick carry the torch from there.

Might consider taking her along :cheer: , so she won't be tempted to annoy someone else during your absence. :ohmy: :lol:

Ill ride anywhere
as long as i have the time
like I said I do 3weeks on and 3 weeks off
The only problem I may have
Is prying myself off the new ZX14R which Ill be riding by then
I guess we can all confirm when and where within the next month or so
long distance is not a problem for me
but weather can make me stop for the night if its bad enough

Hey Jeff, if I end up riding up to you is there anyway I could camp on your lawn or something? I don't want to make a round trip in one day!

did you get a 2012 zx14? I guess it's a beast!

WOW! taking the kz rather than the new zx14 will be a challenge.
Good luck with that 1 Jeff. what a hard ship. :P I wish i had such hard choices. B)

that may be an option too. we'll see what the timing of the trip brings.if it falls on a weekend that we r all avail, then that could work for me. or i could just ride up with 9am for a while then turn back? we'll see.

Hey mark, if you have never ridden up 41 it's a nice trip. I think from cobourge to eganville and back would be a longish day, but doable if you have a good seat, or you could turn back at Bon Echo (which is unfortunately around where the road gets nice).

But yeah, maybe we should wait for a schedule to come about before we start figuring out details.
