I'll be in the Georgian Bay area, Midland to be more specific. I'm thinking on bringing the bike...... not sure yet, is it worth it? Northern RR will you have any time at night for a ride?

Don't the polar bears come out at night

Oh, Canada....

Thought you were yakkin' about Cali there for a minute.

phobiaphobe · 07-07-2006, 11:49 PM

Make sure you take a drive to Wasaga Beach.

Northern RR · 07-08-2006, 1:18 AM

you bet, I am always up for a ride, shoot me some info on when you are comig around and maybe we can go for a tour? I work 12 hour shifts but I also have a LOT of time off now...Maybe we can get into algonquin for a while? lots of nicer riding up there

Just let me know, I do have some plans in august, but I am sure that I can work around it... Maybe another ontario fireblades.org ride only the "northern edition"?

Just let me know what you are thinking and we can go from there

I'll be in Midland Sunday night, staying at the Best Western until the 19, then I'm off to Ottawa. I'll bring the bike

Bring the bike or ride it? I am off all that week, maybe we could meet on the 19 or 20 and ride over there? I have a buddy that would let us stay at his place in ottawa? I don't know if I will be around until then though(19-20) I was suppost to be going to a cottage, but if the G-F cannot get the time off, I should be able to come out and play

Let me know and we'll figure something out

jetbdude · 07-08-2006, 8:53 PM

I will trailer the bike down. Hopefully I'll get some time to ride! I'll PM you my cell phone and keep you posted here. Looking forward to ride with you! Veronique will have her gear also

Northern RR · 07-09-2006, 5:52 AM

Sounds good to me, you guys should come to barrie and veronique can ride the EX around if she wants?

be a bit of a step down from the 1000RR but hey at least it runs

talk to you soon. We'll have to bring a camera and gets some pics? I have not taken any since the season started.

Both, I have been working a 12 hour shift... 6:30 to 6:30 lots of fun, when you work, you work(A lot) but, I only have another 3 days and I get 9 off work 4 more and then another 6 off... gotta like that.

I just got done looking at some of the pics from grattan and I am affraid I am gonna need a tow rope to keep up

Not too sure where we can go but I am sure that we will find something to do up there? any idea how many KMS you want to do?

Northern RR · 07-09-2006, 2:29 PM

I just heard that the canadian superbikes are in mosport this coming weekend? interested? or is that too far to stray on what I am assuming is a business trip

anyone else up for that?

jetbdude · 07-09-2006, 9:20 PM

I'm not even sure I'll have ANY time to ride... I guess it will depend on the weather. A couple of raining days and I'll be working my ass off whenever the sun show up. I'll have more info tomorrow.

And as far as the tow rope, I'm a real wuss on the street, and it's getting worst after every track day

Glad to hear it as I am too, I have finally got my insurance to a point where I can almost afford to ride it, I really don't want to screw that up

Hopefully the weather will co-operate

Got to ride with Northern RR tonight

It was nice to meet another .org members, I've yet to find one that was not nice (no I have never met BDA or PETE).

It was a short ride but we went out and had a nice dinner. I got to ride his tricked out RR and was a nice bike it is

I like the way you kept it clean, even though you have pretty much every aftermarket pieces available on this one. Those wheels are changing the whole bike, look and feel.

Don't call me if you wake up one morning and find your bike on blocks....

Northern RR · 07-11-2006, 9:36 AM

Hahaha, it was grreat meeting you two, hope that you did not mind the rain too much, it was only for a bit anyways.

It would have been nice to get over to the road I was thinking about, one of the nicer ones around here, and even at that it is pretty boring.

Funny you know I had not ridden a 1000RR with stock rims on it since I put mine on and I have to say I feel justified in my purchase of them

Thanks for the compliments and your bike is VERY nice too

mind you as for it being "clean" I think that you meant the "overall" look of it but... it was sooo dirty last night

We'll have to get out again. That was fun. Me and my friend are headed to MOSPORT this weekend for the superbikes, if you can get the time you guys are more then welcome to tag along? or meet us down there?

Northern RR · 07-11-2006, 9:40 AM

I just found a "nice" picture that may held you when trying to justify the purchase price of the rims

Here you go

Purpdust · 07-11-2006, 10:52 AM

Glad you all are having fun, I may be in Ontario this weekend, I will let you know.

Cheers
Purp

You've sure got a nice day for a boat ride today
