C PS now, if non-VFR owners have to stand last to fill up, buy the first round and so on, think about those who trailer their bikes.....

Member Contributer digitallyhip Posted December 7, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted December 7, 2015 It actually works out to about $37.50 per night or $75.00 for your stay for the two nights. Now that is a deal. Hell yeah, that's an incredible deal - that's what I'm talkin' about right there! More beer money! Do they have a fire pit on site for us to have some wobbly's around at night? @Randy ... which way are you heading back home? I'm thinking I might take a few extra days and visit family in Kelowna for a day. I would post some pix of fine parking in north east Oregon if I could figure out how to all photos to this site. If you make an account on www.imgur.com, then upload your pictures there, then you can link to them here. Mike: thank you for doing this!

VF1000Fe Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) I may be in for this one just checking for the kitchen pass . I will have to wait to figure out which bike I will bring and how . Trailer or ride out VFR needs to be put back together and run a bit before deciding. Its 3600km from there to Calgary, or 3 days @ 12hr/day. Then you have to ride that back home,,.. wearing your bike out for nothing (some areas are nice). Trailer your bike out here, leave your Rig in my backyard, and we'll ride out. And we won't tell anyone, you'll get the" Long Distance Lone Ranger Award" Edited December 7, 2015 by VF1000Fe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate They gonna have to wait, wait, wait, wait, wait Cause Gm's gonna trailer, trailer, trailer, trailer And Ya'll can just shake it off, shake it off and BUY THE BEER!!!

superfunkomatic Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 If you're coming from Ontario, I hate to say it, but you're not missing much by riding until you get to Calgary. I think if you get there any way you can, it'll be just fine. The razzing is just good natured fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNBarrett Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Hey me too! So we can depart on Sunday together and have a Helluva ride over. Excellent! I'll let you know my plans as we get closer - that sounds like a blast though. :) If you're coming from Ontario, I hate to say it, but you're not missing much by riding until you get to Calgary. NW Ontario is a gorgeous ride along the top of the lakes! If you go stateside ... Michigan's UP has some incredible riding (H-58 is amazing) as does NE Minnesota (Highway 1 is super twisty technical). The stretch between Winnipeg and Medicine Hat leaves much to be desired though.

Member Contributer 34468Randy Posted December 8, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted December 8, 2015 If I were riding from Winnipeg through to Medicine Hat again, cause I have done that, I could flip Depot Division the birdy as I rode by Regina That in itself makes that ride worthwhile. Seriously though, I think the prairies gets a bad rap. Granted, if that was all I had to ride in every day, I may tire of that. But the prairies has its own beauty. I know just north east of Jeff, there is some really gorgeous country. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNBarrett Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Yup, I live in a great area of of Manitoba for riding ... all along the Eastern part of Manitoba (North and South) is gorgeous terrain to ride. Up north in the Parkland Region (Riding Mountain National Park, Duck Mountains, The Pas, Assessippi) is also beautiful country to ride. Then down along the entire US border is the escarpment / Pembina Valley .... amazing country (this is the area I hunt in). The TransCanada between Winnipeg and Medicine Hat sucks though.

The brewpub in Northfork moved to Kettle Falls, they had very decent IPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
