    If you're talking about the one in Ohio, it's on the shore of Lake Erie about an hour east of Cleveland. It's about 50 mi west of Erie, PA.

    If you are talking about the one in NY, I know where that is, too....it's on route 14 along the west shore of Seneca Lake out in the Finger Lakes region.

    Oh yeah, baby!!! I'm up for it. I'm lonely, so...very...lonely. (That doesn't sound right, does it?)
    I'll be out of town Labor Day weekend and Sept. 13/14. My brother will be up from SC. Any other weekend is good.
    Studeman, I live in North East. Go Grape Pickers!!!

    Sept. 6/7 looks good. My wife will be out of town and if I'm left alone, bad things happen. It's a good chance to shake off the cobwebs and get the stink blowed off.

    Any one from OH, PA or NY interested in a gathering at Geneva on the Lake, OH on the weekend of Sept. 6/7? It would be nice to meet some of you folks and see if you're as "good looking" as I am. I'll be the tall, skinny old fart with the XJ.

    Sounds good. Hope some of the Cleveland folks can make it.

    There were a lot of 'me, too' bikes.
    "What do you have?" "Street Glide." "Me, too."
    Had a great time and it was cool to meet someone from the forum. Don't feel like such an orphan. Same time next year, Polock? We have a whole year to motivate some of these slackers to go. We could make it an XJ family reunion.

    The dates for Thunder on the Strip are Sept. 10-13, this year. Looks like we're drumming up so interest in another thread. I'll bump this again around the end of July as a reminder. Polock, looking forward to seeing again.

    I found us a place up there to hang out, kick back and act stupid if we want, basically clean up and don't burn the place down.

    One month away?! But summer just started!

    I'll be there. Are we shooting for Friday, Saturday, or Sunday for the meetup? (It's an all-weekend event, right?)

    Not even close ;) but I still plan on going on the Kaw. If anyone coming from the west wants to meet at my place, you're more than welcome. I have a carb tune and colortune if anyone needs a last minute adjustment.

    I'm game for stopping in at your place, @jayrodoh. We can caravan over from there, even if it's just two deep.

    Let me check out the schedule when I get home and see what day is best. I'm thinking Saturday, head over in the AM and return in the evening. Maybe we can get the grill going or something.

    Might be nice to not have to take all my gear off once I'm there or risk heat stroke.

    Looking at the weather report for Geneva has dampened our spirits. Jared and I decided to call it off. Sucks, I was looking forward to meeting Polock. Just not enough to be in rain all day, and actual thunder to boot, not just the on-the-strip variety.

    i should jag you guys around but truth be told, i'm glad you have more sense than i do.
    this is the kind of weather you come home in, not start out in!
    15 more minutes i'd have been gone.
    we'll have to pick a day and hook up at West Branch state park or Cuyahoga Valley
