Title: Calling all Canucks / Canadians ..... same thing I suppose ?
Post by: mickboyle on February 07, 2012, 10:13:03 AM
Guys,

Please let me know where you are in Canada.

I'd be interested in organizing a Canadian Rally if there are enough of us.
I'd also like to meet up with you guys for some local rides.

Let's take a poll and find out where everybody is.

You could also PM me and send me your details - I could keep track and build a mailing list just for Canucks

Cheers

Mick

Welcome Mick.  Live in Nanaimo,B.C., on vancouver Island.  There are a few of us on the Island.  We have some decent rides over here, though they don't quite compare to the kootenays or Northern Washington state.  Definitely worth a trip on the ferries though.

Mick,

I'm located in London - in the heart of Southwestern Ontario where it was a balmy 6C yesterday and no, I didn't go for a ride!  :cray:
My '92 FJ is sleeping in my brother in-law's garage awaiting this winter's round of modifications - R6 brakes, possibly LED brake lights from RPM, got to fix an exhaust leak where the header pipes join (4-1) and put some shims in the front end to stiffen it up a bit.
Planning a ride to Alaska in 2013 with a couple riding buddies so I may have to look you up en route!

Cheers,

Hi my home base is near Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario but right now I am in Panama.  When and where would you like to locate this event?  Very interested. Thanks in advance for all of the hard work I know it will take to do this.

Hi Big R here. I live in Barriere B.C. which is about 40 minutes north of Kamloops. There are a couple of other FJ's around but I haven't ran into them yet.

Chris here, north of Toronto, there seems to be 5 or 6 FJers around Southern Ont.

Paul here, from Napanee Ontario.... 2 hours east of Toronto.
Bob N. mentioned that there used to be an annual rally here in Ont. quite a few years ago. It would be cool to have at least an annual ride/get together.  Excelleent roads about an hour north of Kingston. ..... :good:

Just thought I'd ask if there are any more for any more ...... or have we exhausted all of the Canadian FJ owners that are out there?

Thanks in advance guys.

I'm near St Thomas Ontario, just south of London. A Canadian meet sounds like a great idea.

Why don't you hook up with the rest of us Canucks for the NE Summer Rally in Maine?

Too far for me Mate - I'm 5000km away.

I'm looking to get a list and maybe (initially) organise a Western Canada Rally as even the Colorado meet is 19 hours away from me.

There's only so much time I can take off work.
