I figured I would start a new thread here instead of hijacking the thread about your bike in the general section Bill.
It would be really cool to arrange an RE5 meet in the Northeast this year. Of course, I still have to get my bike on the road but I should be able to do it this year. I think summer would be the best time to have the meet. If we have it, I'm sure I wouldn't have a problem riding a couple hundred miles on my bikes maiden longer ride.
I just checked to see how far Dave is from me and it is 622 miles. A lot further than I thought. He must be in western Ohio. I am in central NY. If Dave wanted to come I think Pennsylvania (between Buffalo, NY and Ohio) might be centrally located for a northeast meet but we can figure that out after finding out who would like to attend. Niagara Falls just came to mind. I haven't been there since I was a kid.
I would be taking the NYS Thruway depending on where we meet so maybe a lot of us could meet via the thruway and ride to the location together. That would be cool.
So we can find a location, who would be interested in attending. I'm thinking July or August as the best time. Once I know who would like to attend, we can figure out the best location and take it from there. I'm thinking a weekend time slot would probably be best. maybe including Friday and Monday for travel time.
I know someday I would like to set up a rally in Ohio near the old Rotary Recycle as a tribute to Sam but it may be too early to do that this year. I would want Sam's family to feel good if we do it.
Open to all ideas about the meet so post away. I hope we can make this happen.
