Michigan Xj people...... who is up for a cruise?

So if there is one thing that i could love more than riding my xj, it would be riding my xj with a pack of xjs. I would love to get a big xj ride together for all the Michigan people and whoever else would want to come. It would be awesome if we could do it during the summer. Maybe in June or July to avoid some of the more wet weather. If anyone is interested, post in this thread any cruising ideas or possible meeting places for a group ride.

 

We can invade Canada.

Everybody needs to be sure they have at least an "enhanced drivers license" (if they don't already have a passport) and we can meet up in the Port Huron area, and ride to...

PORT DOVER, Ontario. A "PD13" (Friday the 13th in Port Dover) will occur on August 13 this year. For the uninitiated, any Friday the 13th is BIKE DAY in Port Dover. This isn't any sort of official event, it is a long standing tradition and draws thousands when it falls during peak riding season.

the last one was good at Dover. Even the cops never thought there will be so many bikes. But the Aug 13th one, will be huge.
It would be nice to see more xjs at that meet.

 

Im interested.....

 

Is there a typical route that you guys usually take when you drop over? i think that would be pretty neat to have a bunch of whistling Yammies cruising along, sweet sounds fer shur ;D

 

I need an excuse for a good long ride so I'm in.

I won't bother you yet with details since it's still a
long way away-just keep us updated on your progress
from time to time.

Oh yeah....lets invade the northeners :lol:

 

That sounds like good fun. I am definately in. Lets try to get as many of us as we can to go to this meet.

 

P.S.- What is an enhanced drivers liscense? Is it a cycle endorsement because i have one of those.

 

Enhanced license is that you can go through customs by land in north america

 

Do i just go to the secretary of state to do that? Or is there some kind of test? How much does it cost? I have never heard of an enhanced liscense.

 

I'm very interested and have wanted to do this for awhile.

that pd13 sounds fun... I'll have to get a passport.


some other ideas include riding to the copper country in the UP.

theres another xj member up there that I've talked to before.

who knows, maybe we could camp out at my fraternity at Tech.

Cheeseburger in Caseville is fun.

I do want to go on a long ride.... i've probably only went on a 100 mile round trip, tops.

we gotta keep this thread alive and the idea in mind.

 

Ok. I just went online at the secretary of state and figured out what you need. Here is the link for the enhanced drivers license requirements.

It costs $45 for first timers and 38 to renew. It also says that the enhanced license is good for 4 yrs.

I know that i am only about an hour, hour and a half tops away from you schooter and i go on distance rides frequently. Road the thumb twice from bay city all the way back around to M-46. I think it took me atleast 5 hours but i dont quite remember. I have also taken M-46 east to the water a couple of times. Next season i am going to ride M-46 to lake michigan. I am pretty much up for anything as long as i have the time open and i know about it in advance.

Also, if you are interested in going along with us make sure to go apply for a passport now if you do not have one. Unless you pay for rushed delivery which is expensive, it takes quite a while to recieve your passport.

 

Well guys I know im not from Michigan but I will be coming from Montreal so I will meet you bunch of xj guys there

 

i want in...

its 132 miles from sarnia...

it would be about 55 miles longer than my longest ride last year...

here is a mapquest of the route...

route to Port Dover

 

I'll look into getting an enhanced license spring break, thats when i'll switch over my title and put the finishing touches on the Seca and make sure she runs fine

 

I am interested. I'll probably have to quit my job... but that's OK. I've got a passport so half the battle is taken care of. Keep me posted.

 

That route looks pretty simplistic. I like it. Lets keep spreading the word about this thing guys. Like i said, it would be really cool to cruise in a group with you guys.

 

If I'm not working, I'm in. I'd love to ride with you guys! Of course I'm coming from east of Pt. Dover, so I'll have to meet everyone there and THEN cruise

 

well your welcome to come. Lets get so many XJ's that Port Dover breaks off and sinks in the lake. lol

 

haha, the high frequency tone produced by the shafties will trigger an earthquake
