Count me in and keep it open to all. Maybe we meet at a shop and head to Whistler and back or perhaps even Pemberton. The road does have it's construction challenges but it's getting better all the time. There is also many great rest stops for great views and great food. I'm on the North Shore.

Having said that, I certainly have no objection to riders showing up riding other models or brands....even blue FZ6's.

I wouldn't worry too much about your group riding skills for this. As long as you can 'follow the leader' you shouldn't have too much trouble. Depending on the numbers we would probably split into smaller and stagard groups anyway.

I will have to give some serious thought about letting any blue FZ6's into this event....

Sounds good!

(Just don't put me in the much-slower "blue" group)

Yes I understand what you are saying Boneman...well except waving to HD bit...

OneTrack, I think you will be suprised how bad some of the others in the group ride. I returned to riding last year and am amazed that some riders in the group were unaware you are supposed to ride in a stagger formation and to leave enough room for the other guys to bale out if they need to.

You`ll be fine.

I hope this comes off for you...we need to see the pics.

Count me in! It would be great to see some out-of-town riders as well! I also agree with keeping it open to anyone, as long as we get some good group shots of "just" the FZ6s - that would be pretty rad...

A nice laid-back group ride to Harrison/Princeton/Whistler would be nice too (although the sea-to-sky is not all that much fun these days...)

Lets make it happen!

You need to do it right mate, don't tarnish the good image.

First time post...Live down in Seattle and am getting into the whole FZ thang. I might be in?

Howattzer · 03-10-2008, 06:51 PM

Count me in. I will make the trek from Kamloops if there is anyone nearby who wants to ride in a group.

Im Inn... hey Boneman... post this on SBN too... How about Harrison Hot Springs as a destination. Maybe even an overnighter at the hotel? Harrison Hot Springs Resort, BC, Canada : Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa
