Hey YYY Guy...

I am in Oshawa East of Toronto. I have a Pick long box. Should be able to hold 3 bikes no problems & gear. Perhaps we can meet near 401 & 16 Hwy or something, or at the border and pick up the other fellow in the US. Just a thought.

Cynall, was I the fellow you were referring to, or the other guy further south? At any rate I've got some more checking around to do as I stopped at the Dodge dealership (next door to my office) and the only hitch they list is 1000lb cap. So a 500lb trailer from Home depot and 2 bikes puts it just barely over the limit, looks like 3 would be out of the question, unless I can find a class 2 (3500 lb) rated hitch for my car. LOL and that U-Haul trailer I posted, that sucker is 1300lbs empty even being an open top trailer so that one is definitely out.

 

dmar,

I was thinking about that too, but with two or more people, its only a three hour driving stint each max. I would definately want to get up there on a Thursday eve, and ride Friday, Sat and a half day Sunday before heading home to get "my moneys worth" from the drive. Lets see who else in our area is interested. I'm thinking my son may want to go, and perhaps my buddy who owns the DRZ400. But if that all doesnt pan out, I'll have room in my 4runner and I have a three-bike trailer....

Something to think about anyway.

I think thatDouble D6 andmaybe even roscoemight be interested so don't let the distance take you out quite yet.....

 

There are two 30 mile loops at bald eagle in central pa. about an hour north or harrisburg. This is a dual sport only, you must be plated. I havn't seen a map yet. http://www.pamall.net/patra/patra7.html

 

That could be an interesting place to ride.. Same rules as South Jersey fire roads.... Did I tell you how much I love having a registered, plated DIRT BIKE??????

 

My tax return was only about half of what I expected so I think I'm looking at a rental trailer and I have some more looking to do because Chrysler only offers a 1000# hitch which limits me to a lightweight trailer and 2 bikes max and even then its 100# over. If one of the Canadian guys has a way to haul the bike I could follow behind with my car and carry the gear for the 3 of us or however many can make it. Just trying to keep our options open. On a side note I already have the vacation days approved just need to give a few weeks notice.

 

The ANF sounds best being there is places to camp/motel it.... sounds like a decent amount of riding too...

 

I'd have to agree with you EMS, the ANF sounds like a heck of a lot more riding options/terrain that would be available to us... at this point, I would vote for that, just want to keep an open mind to other possible spots as they get brought up...

 

Who all would be down for ANF?

If this is too far, i can look some more to see if there is something in the central to eastern part of the state.

 

Cynall - Just got caught up on this thread, and it still looks good ... have to make sure the timing works out though, but its still a possibility. As Josh points out, the transportation logistics would have to be sorted out somehow.

Eric - ANF looks pretty decent ... count me in as a definite maybe. What dates does it look like it's going to be? I'm thinkingtravel down on a Thursday night, 2.5 days of riding, then travel back Sunday afternoon. Is that reasonable, or does it sound like too much chaffing?
