Freebird Posted August 31, 2015 Author #26 Posted August 31, 2015 There was discussion for several weeks asking for suggestions and volunteers. The reason that there is not a west coast location listed is because nobody stepped up to the plate. There was plenty of time to do so.
Brake Pad Posted September 1, 2015 #27 Posted September 1, 2015 my friend Karen & I talked about, what if the IR was out west next year, I'd go as far as Idaho, we'd be on the road 3 weeks. three weeks ago, the talk was stopping the event. but with the outpour of interest. I'm glad this will continue.
XV1100SE Posted September 1, 2015 #28 Posted September 1, 2015 If people are considering time frame....Ontario would be mid-August. See the following for details on plans - http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?108935-Time-to-vote-on-2016-International-Rally-location&p=932328#post932328
steamer Posted September 1, 2015 #29 Posted September 1, 2015 WOW! Another eastern international rally. Tough for those of us on the west coast to make it out there. [/quote A Western U.S. trip is on our bucket list, but will have to wait till we retire, due to the limited vacation time we both have. As you said, Tough for us on the east coast to make it out there.
Barrycuda Posted September 1, 2015 #30 Posted September 1, 2015 last year as I left the IR in Guntersville, In my heist to make it to New Jersey before my mom passed. I rode 81 down to 29 and around DC and Biltmore . even though it rained on me most of my trip to NJ. I said I was going to come back. In the pouring rain I stopped in a little town called Buchanan VA. ( some really nice people there ) I told them why I was going to NJ, they packed me some extra food and drink, and send me on my way. they even cover the lunch bill. I'm going back to thank them. stopping in Weston Georgia, and buying a few (12) pecan pies as a Thank You. mike, if you're up for it, I'd like to join you. Sounds like some great people...
Brake Pad Posted September 1, 2015 #31 Posted September 1, 2015 its on the way up, if we go there next year
slowrollwv Posted September 2, 2015 #32 Posted September 2, 2015 Eck statement and participation if picked is the reason I chose Davis, WV. I also saw the link from slow roll and I've never been there. Want to try something different. Barry I will say this for this area. There are no four lane roads in this area that are close except the new one that is under construction. You can ride for a week and not hit one if you want to. Not to many straight roads either other than the three mile straight that the resort is on. There is a lot to see and do if you like. Just to name a few. Seneca Rocks, Seneca Caverns, Smoke Hole Caverns, Cass scenic railroad, Greenbanks Observatory. Smallest Church and Post Office in 48 states. And of course some of the best roads in the country.

friesman Posted September 2, 2015 #34 Posted September 2, 2015 Heck I think all these are too far. I think us western Canucks locals might just have to plan something low key to get together on our own.
XV1100SE Posted September 2, 2015 #35 Posted September 2, 2015 Heck I think all these are too far. I think us western Canucks locals might just have to plan something low key to get together on our own. Make sure you post a thread if a Western Canada rally is planned. We might be going West next summer for a family reunion and if timing works out I'd like to meet our Western members again.
Long Tall Posted September 2, 2015 #36 Posted September 2, 2015 What Slowrollwv said: I live in Ole Virginia, but ride a lot in WV. As a matter of fact, I'm from WV originally. One of my best rides are the back roads from here in VA over three mountain ranges into WV. Long Tall
Bog13 Posted September 2, 2015 #37 Posted September 2, 2015 hard to pass up the exchange of the dollar, I can get a extra $300 per grand going into Canada....
eagleeye Posted September 2, 2015 #38 Posted September 2, 2015 hard to pass up the exchange of the dollar, I can get a extra $300 per grand going into Canada.... Except a liter of rum is $23 instead of $10 and gas is $1.30 a liter instead of $2.50 a gal etc.
friesman Posted September 3, 2015 #39 Posted September 3, 2015 Except a liter of rum is $23 instead of $10 and gas is $1.30 a liter instead of $2.50 a gal etc. but a hundred buck hotel is 70 bucks, a 20 bucks restaurant meal is under 15, and the hospitality is free! Brian
Brake Pad Posted September 3, 2015 #40 Posted September 3, 2015 Yes, But Upper Canada Village, serves up the best home made sodas and cheese curds along with fresh baked bread loafs ( Like stepping back in time )
eagleeye Posted September 3, 2015 #41 Posted September 3, 2015 but a hundred buck hotel is 70 bucks, a 20 bucks restaurant meal is under 15, and the hospitality is free! Brian The hospitality was awesome, and I loved being in the upper BC mountains. Can't be beat! I loved that part of my trip! Especially the Icefield parkway
Freebird Posted September 3, 2015 Author #42 Posted September 3, 2015 Just a note. In accordance with your requests, there will likely be another poll to choose between the top two vote getters. The exception, not likely to happen, would be if one location wins by more than the total votes submitted for the locations other than the top two.
Brake Pad Posted September 5, 2015 #43 Posted September 5, 2015 man we got a solid three way race here, someone pass the popcorn !!!!
