CanDman, thanks for the invite, sounds like fun. I'll be there for sure! As for food, I eat what is put in front of me. I'm definitely up for a morning ride.
Thanks,

CanDman,

Super Idea!  Thanks for hosting it :good2:. If we get a few FJs and go for a rip, is it a rally? ... or just a day ride? I hope to attend as well :drinks:.
Looking forward to meeting more esteemed FJ owners of Ontario.  I will get back asap.

CanDman

Officially.......I am calling this the Ontario chapter pre Maine bash......." Street Meatn Greet".......we can decide on a ride once we have a total head count....which I will do , hopefully by the 20th.....then we can all have a vote.......thx for the replies.....I am looking forward to this........

I'll be there... can't make the Maine rally this year, so this will be a good chance to see a few fellow FJers.

Well, if I were coming to your ride and BBQ I would suggest a ride to Algonquin PP, or if that's too far maybe just to Lake of Bays and back :-)  What condition are the roads in these days?

Cheers,
Arnie

.............thats a great idea.... Arnie.......except you are right in saying that Algonq Pk is a bit of a drive for a 4hr jaunt...but deffinitely sounds like a fall rip......for sure


.Lake of Bays sounds great though......I sure wish you could be here...............we'll just have to hook up at next years Aussie ralley...hope I see then.......

Wish I could make it to the Ontario bash, and the rally, but we're making our annual pilgrimage to the "Rock" (the wife is a newfie). Next year I'll be planning around the rally for sure.

I remember when sex was safe and skydiving was dangerous.

My brother did the Rock several years ago and told me it was a must !!!!!.........no sweat......it is on the bucket list......I probably shouldn't tell you this Kev........but the girls outnumber the men there 7-1......from what I'm told...... :good2:

Count me in as well. :yes: I don't think I can make the Maine rally but this is definitely doable. I have put zero miles on the FJ so far this year. Been busy with home reno's, relatives visiting from England and a new boat that needed a bunch of work before launching. We moved back in the house, the English have gone back home, the boat is in the water, so now its finally FJ time.... :yahoo:
I will talk to Elvis and see if he is into going as well.
Thanks Candman for putting this together and hosting it. :good2:

here goes again (it timed out while i tried to post it and lost everything   :mad:)

hello again

thanks for the invite - i should be able to pop by - i have just been "reminded" by the other 1/2 of a birthday party later that day - but i should be able to stick around "for a while" (i don't wear a watch or own a cellphone) - just plain ol' roast/bbq chicken is fine for me

would like to meet some people and talk about aftermarket thingies for the beastie

port dover is the day before also, wondering whether to go or not - so should make for a bizzy weekend

speaking of which, i see a lot of mention about a rally in maine, but can't seem to find any info on the site about it - could you direct me to the proper location for some info?  seems my brain has lost some capacity to think at the moment - have to go to bed to work tonight, too tired... can't think...  must sleep...   :morning1:

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in an attractive & well preserved body...but rather to slide in sideways, body completely worn out and and with your last dying breath screaming, "HOOOYA LIFE, lets try that again"!!!

John...... I must say.......I am getting quite stoked for this....... we seem to have a great bunch of guys in the group.......I am looking forward to meeting everyone.......been here a year and still have not met a single member to date......I was hoping for a few suggestions for a ride....but none has emerged yet.......maybe we should head your way for the ride....it has been a while since I have been through Caledon....but memory serves me correctly....there was some great roads in and around Hawkley Valley Caledon area......what do you think???? :scratch_one-s_head:
