Well it's been sometime and I haven't heard from Peter who wanted this event in Kingston.
I also haven't seen a date for the Vintage rally in Ameliasburg yet.
We have 3 dates to choice from if not this year , next.
Smoke in the County 2019
July 21 or 28(this might be Neils bash)
Aug 18th.This doesn't work because of RB's last bash
our thoughts are a No admission fee,no awards,Everyone parks and enjoys the day.
ALL 2 strokes welcomed from the BSA Bantam to Suzuki RG 500 and everything in between
We would have a BBQ and proceeds would go to the cost of obtaining insurance for the event.
The possible location will be in Carrying Place on Highway 33
We want to keep this event as simple as we can.
Riders would be free to organize their own ride through out the County
My thoughts are Aug 17th 2019
Ideas & thoughts welcomed

Ian, I just re-read your post again, are you envisioning these events as day meets only or is there a plan to camp?

Also, Mosport has a VRRA event usually that weekend as well, I always figured I'd do that after the RB bash has run its course.

Mosport dates change all the time. there is NO guarantee a regular date .Last year and the year before it was around Aug 11/12 weekend. This year it's the Sept long weekend. Mosport dictates the dates.
As for the event this is just a one day show .baby steps as it's just 2 of us at this point.
We have 2 other sites in mind in case this takes off and it seems to be gaining momentum ,more than I expected.

It might be tough to get anyone interested in a day trip to The County to be honest. Why not consider the same weekend as Neil's bash in July for a destination ride?
With that said, it seems not much chatter on here for his rally either... it's the old herding cats with this bunch I swear!
On a happier note, it seems the CVMG gave us the green light to form the Headwaters section.
That should be pretty cool having one so close! If anyone in the area wants to join, Contact Dave Laver at classiclaver@yahoo.ca

Many issues to sort out yet Walms which we will do this summer. not much interest here but man the other guys seem to be interested even some from the USA .
A lot of YES commitments for next year. I'll fill in any update details as we go and yes things can change for camping.

It might be tough to get anyone interested in a day trip to The County to be honest. Why not consider the same weekend as Neil's bash in July for a destination ride? As for Day trip events, The "Chrome on the Canal" event started as a day event called Charlie’s Indian Day back in 2009. It's now much more than an Indian Motorcycle event and is packed with bikes trucks and cars of all types. I go almost every year. Load up Friday, leave early Saturday. Diner on the way home and the one day event has always been great to see. The two day events like Don's in Paris, Triples in Tweed etc. are great also but there's a lot of effort to take on the additional organisation of accommodation specially when people tend to not want to commit. It's all fine if the event has camping and drinking on private property etc. Here's an off the wall idea that could be both a day trip and/or an overnight. Would it work to combine "Smoke in the County" with an event that Ian and the CVMG has already have planed. Say the Quinte TT, May 31 June 1-2-3 at the Shannonville, ON This is already a vintage bike event. There is camping, parting at night, racing to watch and a two stroke ride could be organised to be similar to the one we did at the Parris CVMG with Don years ago. We all would ride into the CVMG booth at the track. Park the bikes for the spectators to see. Take in a race and ride out at the lunch break while all is quiet. Maybe they would even allow us a lunch time Parade lap on the track as we exit to a road ride. Just an idea to through out there and it keeps things simple. Keep us posted on the plans Ian. BTW, Maybe David Howarth would want to ride his Scott liquid cooled two stroke.  |

Did I see a sign of relief from Jim H..lmao
