If you have the time try and stop in at Schwartz's on St-Laurent Blvd. for a great sandwich.
Enjoy the show.

...dont take your bike...it would probably get stolen...

Day trip? Leave early and come back late? It sounds like a fun trip. Has anyone been to this before?

[Ericthejet]

I have been about 15 times since 1984.

It's usually a mob scene on the weekends. I've heard Friday is the day to go, but of course I can't then because I have to work. I might be up for going Saturday.

[Trouble]

Is it worth making the voyage? It seems like it could be a blast if we took a car/van load of guys up there. I might be able to borrow my brother's minivan if it came to it...

[markbvt]

It's kind of fun if you've got nothing better to do, but truthfully, it's not really that exciting.

But that said, it might be worth going just to see the Honda Transalp, which is supposed to hit the Canadian market this year.

I went a couple years ago

I recommend driving to Longueil, park in heated garage at university across street (cheaper than open parking lot at subway station)

then take the subway to the expo center

great show, manufacturers are there and a lot of local vendors, unlike many of the shows here that are mostly custom harleys, they have a lot of custom sportbikes

canadian women have somethng about red hair too

[Doc]

I have never been to a show so I would really like to make the day trip.

Who else is in for Saturday?

Doc

[markbvt]

Let's talk when it gets closer, but for now, count me in.

[Trouble]

I agree with Mark. I'm almost positive I'll be able to go but we should revisit this discussion in a couple weeks.

[markbvt]

Hey Doc, are we still going to this?

--mark

[Doc]

I'd love to. I need to get permission. Friday is no good. What day is good for you?

[markbvt]

It would have to be Saturday. And I'd need to be back by 6 or so.

--mark

[Doc]

I'll ask. We would leave my house early am.

[Trouble]

Krissy is having some friends up from Boston, so I'm out. I'll be up sledding and drinking at Lincoln Gap

[markbvt]

I'll ask. We would leave my house early am.

They don't open till 10am, so there's not much point leaving before 8...

Also, it's by no means an all-day affair. I don't really see us wandering around the show for more than a couple hours, tops. Then stop off for lunch somewhere. We'd probably be back home by 3 or 4.

[Doc]

Ok I got approval... Who is driving?

[Uncle Snake]

Michelle and I will be there on saturday.

[Doc]

Wanna car pool?

[markbvt]

Doc, I can drive if it just ends up being the two of us (assuming we meet Jake and Michelle in Montreal, or just sort of run into them at the show).

--mark

[Doc]

Deal Mark. Your driving.

[Uncle Snake]

Doc, I can drive if it just ends up being the two of us (assuming we meet Jake and Michelle in Montreal, or just sort of run into them at the show).

--mark

We're going up tomorrow afternoon, probably see you there.

[markbvt]

Okay, so maybe we'll run into you at the show then, Jake.

Anyone else coming along with Doc and me?

Doc, I guess I'll pick you up at 8am on Saturday.
