Sorry folks can’t swing the time off work. Sounds like it will be a fun time. Mike

Trying to see if I can get the time off to join the ride.

Got to meet Bob a couple times at events, he was always willing to help out with knowledge, a place to have our parts sent (for those of us north of the border), most of all he made you feel welcome. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Becky , family, and friends. Keep chasing the front wheel Bob. Mike

Happy Birthday Carl, I hope you had a great one.

Sorry for the loss of your friend Ben, Martin sounds like he was an incredible guy and great friend.

I have used this stuff on my Ural for a couple years now.

Come on Bob beat this..... Thoughts and prayers for Bob and Becky, you guys are in our thoughts.

Been doing sing bacon wrapped corn for a few years, it is life changing, putting some ranch on it.......yes that is an interesting twist. Mike

I believe it was Dons bike that you saw them on, I don’t have them on mine, truth be told I think we came on the Ural that day. Mike

A lot of fun and as usual it was great to catch up with everyone. Big thanks to Paul and Mary for hosting. It was a real nice visit. Mike

We ended up going the Ural route and have had it for about a year and a half, it is so much fun to ride and of course one of our dogs goes for rides all the time. It has got to the point the RSV doesn’t get taken out as much anymore we have it up for sale, if it sells ok if it doesn’t I will ride it when I can. Mike

I love the look of your bike, that is a piece of Art that will go down the road real stinkin fast.....awesome machine. Thanks Mike

Beautiful machine.

Enjoy your retirement, make the most of it and sometimes maybe practice doing nothing, just not too much of that. Mike

Thanks to Paul and Mary for hosting this great day. It was good to see some old friends and good to meet some new ones. It is always va good time when you get to see all you folks. Mike and Tammie

That sucks Phil, friends of ours ran over a coyote and it messed up the steering rack amongst other things on the front end of their car.

Home safe and sound, ya ya I know we didn't have to go far. Wonderful seeing everyone, and huge thank you to Don, Carl and Marca. Mike and Tammie

I agree Puc, these bikes are fine machines at slow speeds, friction zone, ride the back brake, and turn your head in the direction your going. Three simple but at time over looked principles to riding. Mike

Happy belated birthday Ben, the picture is a classic. Mike

Great videos Scott, Thanks for putting them up. it was my pleasure to finally get to meet you. Mike

Hi Scott On the video where you were pumping the gas you were more then likely in Stoney Creek, that would be my old stomping grounds. Mike

Geez Ben, that just sucks, as said by Dave there wasn't too much damage and no one got hurt. I know the feeling watching a bike start to come off a lift. I was lucky nothing broke when it happened with mine. If you need an extra pair of hands let me know. Mike

Never enough to do huh Carl......A tree went down by us as well, the people were lucky it didnt hit their house or even their fence. We just had branches scattered over our front yard from the trees we have in the front. Mike

Being a local to the Niagara area, there is lots to see on both sides of the border. If your looking for the more tourist type stuff to do, then the Canadian side has tons of places that will love to help you spend your dollars, good places to eat in the Falls area. As Marcarl and Yamaha Par Excellence have mentioned Niagara on the Lake is a pretty spot to spend some time lots of little shops and again some good spots to eat. There are wineries to visit if your into that, if you want some nice drives you can mix that in with doing some visits to the wineries or stopping in the small towns along the Wine Route, again l;ots of neat shops to check out. just by venturing a little out of the Falls you have more small towns to visit, Marcarl mentioned Fort Erie, there is also Ridgeway, Port Colborne, Virgil, Thorold and a few more each with something different to see. Depending on when you are thinking of coming the region has something going on each weekend of the summer it seems. On the American side, Niagara Falls NY and Buffalo both have great attractions of their own and some excellent spots to eat and shop. If you want more detailed info send me a pm and I can look into what is going on in the area when arrive. If your in the mood for a meet and eat that can set up as well. Wherever you decide you want to go for your visit, it is a great area, ya I am biased because I live here. Mike

All this remembering of past trips, we have been discussing at home where the front wheel may take us this year. Then the next big question, do we take the RSV or do we travel on the Ural, decisions decisions, my idea is to just plan at least a couple trips so we can take one in each. Mike
