The auto train only runs between Washington, DC and Orlando, FL and back.
Saves about 900 miles of riding. You leave in the afternoon (~4 PM)and arrive in the morning(~8 AM) so you can sleep then do a full days worth of riding or site seeing.
I'm looking at doing it in the other direction to get out to Key West.

I don't think you have much to worry about. Lock the wheel lock at night and you should be good. The motel is a bit off the hyway and the the parking is not visable from the road. Rooms on one side of the motel look over the lake, rooms on the other side face the parking and you could park within a few feet of your door if you are on that side.

Cool, when you book a room at the base motel, post you full name and # in party in the attendee thread and we will add you to the list.

Hi Dave,
If you are able to go, you're welcome to ride up with us. We're just north of you in Lee. There will be some friends from Mass joining us, and we'll be meeting up with my son in the Littleton area on the way up.
If there are no more rooms available, there are a couple of other motels that we looked at that might still have rooms.
Tom

There are only 6 rooms left at the moment and all the rooms booked are by our gang because we have them blocked, but that will end shortly. The no refund, no cancelation after May15th was part of the deal we made in getting the rooms blocked. I was talking with the owner 2 days ago and she informed me she is already getting inquires about booking the week we will be there from other people. Being a popular vacation motel, I think they will book those remaining rooms fairly quickly once the block is lifted. As Tomm mentioned there are other motels that we looked at not too far away and a comfort inn maybe 5 minutes down the road. Hope you can make it Dave.

Well 6 more participants and we will have it to ourselves. Tim she called me to ask if I knew if there were more from our group that were thinking of coming since she was getting calls from others.

Just saw this only now. Haven't gone through the entire thread yet and skimmed. I would be willing to meet you guys for the day since I am from Ottawa if you are interested in me tagging along. If anyone must cancel I would be interested in booking their room at reduced rate they offered you guys. PM me.

327 from Lachute to Mont Tremblant (70kms) is the best road for bikes but pales compared to anything around Deal Gap area.

I live in Ottawa and frequent Tremblant. It is a very rich area and there will be many more bikes (Harely's) worth stealing than ours IMO. I would be more concerned around the ski village at the base of the hill as you have alcohol and bars everywhere.

Did you call the motel? They may not have booked all the rooms and they will still honor the rate if anything is left. Just make sure you mention you are with the motorcycle group VBA. Also there is one or two fellas that may be alone in a room and my be will to share cost.The 327 is nice but parts are getting bumpy. We will be riding potential routes in the next few weeks and then finalizing the two routes for the two riding days. One ride may or may not include part of the 327.
As for meeting up with the group that is possible too providing that you fill out ahead of time a Vba wavier and hand it to one of the ride leaders introducing yourself. We also will need to know ahead of time if you plan to bail out anywhere along the ride as we will be doing head counts to make sure we do not lose anyone.
