[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1052913, member: 19880"] I have to agree with RaYzerman. It would be difficult to "do" Newfoundland as a centrally-located rally. The Province is LARGE and the stuff you would want to see is separated by long distances in some cases. Different things appeal to different people. I could see spending a few days near Gros Morne (Rocky Harbour) as a rally point - come and go via Port aux Basques. Likewise, one might want to do the east side with HQ near St. John's. The ferry from N. Sydney to Argentia (1.5 hr from St. John's) is a lot longer and quite a bit more expensive. A lot is missed if you confine it to one area or another but to do anything else would be logistically impossible. The point is that for most, a trip to Newfoundland represents a significant trip and is more suited to a personal vacation as opposed to a MC rally. Its a great place to explore. Roads are generally quite good but not the twisty experience craved by many. I would never discourage anyone from taking a MC trip to Newfoundland. I have been there four times by bike and would not hesitate to go back again. Edit: If someone decides to organize this, I'll be there. I wouldn't make it my final destination but something to do for a couple of days while I was there. RK [/QUOTE]
