I didn't realize there was a Valkyrie event so close to home (I live in North Tonawanda). Looking forward to seeing more than one Valk in a parking lot and on the road. I haven't signed up yet , but where would I find a posting of the 4 days' events?

Thanks Chrome for the info. I have a friend that lived in London Ont. while going to School. Played golf at the base.  He is now a dentist in Barrie. For those who don't have a pass port for the Canadian side, an alternative might be to head north along Lake Ontario. Just a thought...

[Jess Tolbirt]

man when i saw that i thought the old pow wow chat was up and running again...
sure wish i could be there because it sure looks great!!

[Chrome]

Hey Mark Have talked to Big D about crossing the border and realise that not everyone has a passport. I have been many times to the Horseshoe Falls but never the American Falls. It's funny how many American friends that visit here  have never been to Niagara Falls before. Great place to visit . Would like to adventure down the stone staircase and see it from the bottom up.
I think a ride along Lake Ontario is in the works as well.

[mark masterman]

I grew up in Lewiston NY and I don't think I have seen the Falls more than 4 0r 5 times in my life. I did, however, saw it when they turned off the American side and diverted to the Horseshoe. I have never been on the Maid of the Mist, Cable Car or Cave of the Winds. Didn't go there for our honeymoon either!!! Also sad to think that the attraction now is the Casino...

[fudgie]

Sounds like a good time with good folks. Have a good time! 

[Joe Hummer]

Is there a block of rooms reserved at the hotel?  What is the agreed price per night? 

[Chrome]

Hi Joe Will call and post in the morning.

Hi Chrome,

We have a Chapter meeting next week.  I'll see if I can stir up interest here in Michigan.  I'm not sure how everyone is with the passport idea.  I'd like to see the fall from the U.S. side too.  All of my visits have been on your side of the river.

Biguglyman; My daughter went to SUNY@Brockport. Took many rides in your area out along Rt. 31 and 104. She finished up at RIT and it sounds like I'm getting close to Big D' s area.

[biguglyman]

Brockport is very close.  BigD is only about a 5 minute ride away.

[mark masterman]

Big D,
It's only about an hours' ride from my place to Brockport going out Rt. 31. I see you are real close. Thats only about 2 gallons on a Valk!!!
