40+ riders in Southern Ontario

Looking to meet up with mature riders in Southern Ontario.

Been out with the younger groups ... I cringe at some of the riding styles or lack of! Don't get me wrong, I like riding fast, I just don't ride on public roads as though I'm at a track day.

I do alot of day trips from Oakville up to Perth and back.

Any interest, reply.

Re: 40+ riders in Southern Ontario

hey !!!! another 2000 929 rider? Excellent. I don't see too many out there anymore.

I have severely cut back on the group riding thing cause I just don't need the hassle from cops or the stress of trying to figure out what the rider in front of me is going to do next.

Do you live in Oakville? I'm in G'town and wouldn't mind hookin up for a ride sometime.

Re: 40+ riders in Southern Ontario

Hi. I never ride with more than 3 to 4 max.

I live in Oakville. I've been riding up to Collingwood and back. Lots of great twisty back roads.

Lets meet up for a ride.

Re: 40+ riders in Southern Ontario

I think the next ride, heading up to HWY 13 north of Orillia. LOTS of twisties! It's about a 600 to 700km day. Loads of fun.

About 4 experienced riders in the group. We ride with care and know how to ride as a group.

If you would like to join us, I would give you advanced notice.

If not that ride, let me know next time your out. I could meet up.

Jon

Re: 40+ riders in Southern Ontario

When were u thinking of doing that ride? It sounds like an awesome day. Do you guys do track days too?

There's a small group of us meeting up tonight but I have no idea what these guys ride like.

Do you exclude riders under 40?

That will happen in the next couple of weeks. I am out of town on business for the next week.

Never found time for track days... I'm thinkin' it's time I did!

I'll let you know soon on the exact date.

No. I just found some riders under 40 are a little wreckless.

If you want to meet up some where between London and Oakville, that would be great!

Elements! I stopped going there a few years back - found it a little antisocial with the exception of a couple guys. Certainly not worth the ride from the far west side of the city. Oh and the constant police presence makes it sooo not fun also.

Aren't you glad you asked?! LOL

I'm a member of a local car club and that's how I met these guys.
