Shane, Glad it all came together for ya, you have a great collection there. New scoot looks great. Mike

Thomas, Thanks for getting the pictures, that is one beauty of a bike. Mike

Didn't ride today, that work thing does get in the way at times, but did have an amazing weekend of riding. Got up and left our place on Saturday morning as I had to make a run up to my Dads place a couple hours away from ours, this time instead of doing the highways all the way took the back roads (funny it didn't really take much more time to get there). Once at Dads sat around and had a good talk about stuff, I then brought up the idea of going for a ride with me, I wanted to go check out a 66 BSA that wasn't too far away. Was I surprised when Dad was o with getting on the back of the bike (he did ride back in the day, had a Sunbeam 500cc among other bikes) he got on the back and had a blast, the ride got extended quite a bit longer then I figured he would want. It was real cool going for a ride with Dad, he is 86 but thinks he is 55 or at least 60. Well said my goodbyes then rode home. Sunday it was the High Commander riding pilion we were off to look at a house and combined it with a nice long ride getting there touring Hwy 3 some of the other roads that run off it. In the grand scheme of things we only put about 600 kms on the bike those 2 days but it was still a great couple of days of riding that I will not forget for a long while. I know this thread was about rides today, but I just wanted to share, getting to ride with my Dad was something special. Ride safe everyone. Mike

Congratulations to both of you on your big day.

Gonna spend the day on a ride.....don't know where.....guess we will just follow the front wheel. Mike

Glad to hear you are ok, sorry about the Wing.

It looks like we are going to be in The Finger Lakes region in a couple of weeks or so if all works out for our annual ride down and hang out for a few days, sounding like we may stay in Horseheads area and do some day rides from there. Love that area! Mike

Well said. Mike

Try some pledge it will help with the beading on the windshield. Mike

I need to check what I type before hitting the post button, shifter and brake both on the Right means I would need my other right foot Mike

Paul Growing up a buddy of mine had a 70 Triumph Daytona and I remember the first time I rode it, was I ever messed up with the shifter on the right and brake on the left. For the locals to Southern Ontario we were riding through the Forks of the Credit at the time and it was an adventure on the Daytona. Mike

What Puc said pictures.......after going to the Vintage Bike Rally on Saturday, the desire to pick up an Brit bike is pretty big. I have found a few interesting ones on kijiji up here but need more...... We all would love some pics of that bike Thomas or if he has it listed somewhere would be good info. Thanks, Mike

We also checked out the Rally, pocket full of $$$$ would have been handy, so many real nice machines. Well at least we went home with the T Shirt.

Carl and Marca.... Congratulations to both of you. Mike and Tammie

What a ......,

56......some days feel like 35.....some days act like 15..........some mornings feel real old......have a great wife, 2 amazing kids that are now adults, and some real good friends. Age doesn't matter, as James Brown said.....I feel good Mike

I think that has happened to most of us at some time or another.

cool sites thanks for sharing Mike

We will keep an eye out for ya while we are there. Mike

We used to do the Hard top trailer up until a couple of years ago, the trailer just sat and wasn't getting used so it was sold, I have thought about getting one to tow with the bike just haven't pulled the trigger on one yet. Loved camping with our trailer, our last 2 were Apaches, just loved those old hard sided pop ups in my opinion nothing could touch em. Mike

Just wondering if anyone else is going to the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Rally in Paris this coming weekend, we have been going for the past few years and it is great way to see a number of the Vintage Bikes that some of us get a real kick out of. We are going on Saturday, nice ride there from Hamilton, grab some lunch (usually hit Camp31 for some BBQ). If anyone is interested in joining us as we wander around and check out all the bikes and parts for sale or trade or whatever, just let us know. I will be dreaming about buying one of the Nortons or Triumphs or BSA that will be there, but I will be looking for some parts for my Virago as I wander around. Here is a link for the rally http://www.cvmg.ca/event-1860955?CalendarViewType=1&SelectedDate=6/17/2015 Mike

Congratulations thanks for sharing with us.

Best of luck and look forward to hearing about your recovery and getting back on the bike. Mike

I had a gerbil or was it a rabbit, no maybe a guinea pig that could do that too........Puc sometimes you are just full of surprises.....what do I mean sometimes. Well now that Hip Hop and twerking have come to Venturerider.org, anything else is possible

Very slick
