Re: Central New York / North Central PA
How far are you from Watertown? My wife and I travel there once a month to shop. We often take the XF. Although with the onset of winter may not be taking the XF to much longer.

Re: Central New York / North Central PA
I am in buffalo NY. A good friend of mine ownes a crossfire here and I have seen a couple more around town. Not many of them here in the Buffalo area. Not one SRT-6 to my knowledge. I just got mine and I am still a little concerned how it will deal with the buffalo winter weather!!

I haven't checked in in a while. It is good to see some other's fairly close by.... I get to Rochester and Syracuse often... Would be nice to do a few shows this Spring with other XF owners...

I put mine in the garage just before the November snows... I had some CDX plywood stored for the roof on my new barn... The roofers finished the job just in time and freed up the space to insert the XF; the next day was the first snowfall!!!
Whew...

I am about 2 to 2.5 hrs from Watertown...
I love Alex Bay, Clayton, Sackets Harbor -- great area to visit in the summer...
It was -10F here this morning... I can only imagine how cold it is there with the NW wind whipping across the lake... ;-)

Re: Central New York / North Central PA
Colborne Ontario is a small village of about 2,000 people on the shore of Lake Ontario. Almost right across the lake from Rochester. Watertown is a two hour drive for us. AlexBay and the Thousand Islands are beautiful. Did most of our Xmas shopping in the Watertown area this year. Strong CDN dollar sure helped. XF has not been on the road for about two months. Winter sure came early lets hope it leaves early. Miss driving the XF.

Unfortunately, there is no fast transport any longer across Ontario...
But when the weather is nice I think a meet up at Alex Bay or maybe Kingston would be fun...

Re: Central New York / North Central PA
Sounds good... 1,000 islands or Kingston would be fun.
We use to take the ferry to Toronto for the Champ Car Race. It was a lot of fun. We would get on the ferry at 7 be in Toronto by 10:30, pick up a taxi and they would drop us off right across from the track. We would buy our tickets from the same person.. I'd tell him where we wanted to sit, and he would have the tickets...
taxi would pick us up at the end of the race, take us back to the ferry.. and we'd be home by 10 pm....

Re: Central New York / North Central PA
Hi - I just bought my first. An '04, Blaze Red, all stock so far. Found it in mid-upstate NY with only 6,000 original miles. A nice addition to my '07 Inferno Red Dodge Ram 1500 4WD Quad Cab and the '95 Burgandy Road King Harley already in the garage. I bought the xfire in November '07, drove it home from the dealer and has been in the garage ever since. Can't wait for spring! I'm in the Binghamton,NY area. I just joined the forum last week..... So Hello to everyone.
