I didn't see any weapon, only a shoe.

Got home just fine about 9 tonite. Made a couple of detours on the eay home, no matter all adds to the mileage and that they pay for, total 1191 kms in three days. Only one little incident,, well maybe two. The first is that I bonked my head this morning at Andrea's place. She has a split level town house with an opening from the dining kitchen area to the living room, but the opening is only soo high and when you walk over there and lean into the living room the top of the opening doesn't give way, you actually tend to bounce back and land on the floor, with blood spirting out of your head as though you'd been shot. Not really all that bad, didn't need stitches or anything, just a little tender love and I played it along all day, so Marca was a nurse today and Carl was happy. Item #2 happened in Peterborough and involved a Harley, well he thought he was involved anyways. We were coming off of # 7 hyway making a left at the lights going onto the 115, a 4 lane hyway. He was in the left turnoff lane and I was in the next one to it also turning left. There we were, a Harley,,,,vroom, vroom,, vrrrrooommmmm. and an 85 Venture Royale, 2 up and in the outside lane,,, hhhhhmmmmmmmhhhhmmmmmhhhhmmm. Carl in the front,, being as I was the designated rider and Marca in the paasenger seat, (so nicely vacated by Bongobob only two weeks ago,,,,, oh if only Bob were my passenger at this juncture) and she's doing the talking,,,don't you even dare,,,I'm getting off,,,,,,CARL!!!!!!!! oh it was tempting, so easy for the picking, could have blown him right off the hyway,,,,, sucked him up my tailpipes,, even with Bob on the back,,,,, oh why does this happen right now,,, where is he when all is equal and I'm only one up,,, it bothered me all the way home,,,, I let him get ahead,, but not for long,,darn it, at 100 he was just making all he could and I was right on his rear,, no I didn't pass him,, but he got the message,, if I wanted to I could have and then he got off the 115 before I lost control and gave in to sweet urgings.

Just remember bro, not everything is in your hands, there is Someone watching you, and they have taken what He entrusted to you. Rest easy. Carl Still a rotten thing to have happen!!!!!!

Got to meet with the 'shirts' and yep they all dress that way, thankfully thy all had one on. Spent 1.5 hours, talked a limited amount, but the 3 of us got their interest,, well to be honest, I think they were interested to start with, so now they want to have a meeting in Toronto, with their provincial counter parts. This may move in the right direction, we have to have faith,, but at least there is movement and where there is movement there be hope for life. Thanks for your prayers and thoughts. Carl

Made it safely last night, took our time and got here about 9:30, now I'm looking forward to meeting with the shirts in WestBlock. Will post later. Carl

Ok we off,,,, 'course you all knew that, but this time it's for real. Let you know how it panned out when we get back, sometime Friday. Carl

Ride baby ride,,, what's been said so far is so close to the truth that I would even say that they are right. Don't worry about swapping out the engine just yet though, I don't think Brad knows where you two are, pretty hard to find a new engine in Alaska HUH. Enjoy your trip, it should run fine. -
Is that a sucker???????? With the smile behind it , maybe it's a sunfish
-
We're leaving at exactly, around, close to before 12:30 tomorrow. Riders always welcome.

Can you believe it???????? Commons Committee on Agriculture and Food has asked yours truly to come and speak to them on the issues that relate to the meat business, and more specifically how it relates to me,,,, they are interesed in little oll me,,, wow, I'm going,,,,,scoot, Marca and all,,,,,, get to say my piece,, well Marca rewrote it (does that mean I have to speak what she wrote????) on Thursday at 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm and then I'm done until I head home on Friday. Plan on leaving Brantford around noon and then head up to Mono Mills, over to New Market and then catch hyway 7 into Ottawa, should be there about 8pm. Weather forcast is not so bad, good temps and no real rain in the forcast, we'll be enjoying our outing for sure.

Looking to buy another GPS, presently have a Lowerance XOG and it does fine, and will be for sale, but I want to upgrade. Here's what I think I need: 1) GPS 2)Large Screen 3)Sunlight readable 4)Text to speech \ Turn by turn 5)Music \ MP3,,,,,or what ever 6) Streets and Trips or similar compatible I think that's all, I think. What kind should I get, Money is secondary, not that I'm rich, but I don't want to spend $200.00 and find out I've spent it foolishly

I don't see anything out of the ordinary here, other than some are not answering the original question. This often happens and I hope you can decipher what you need. I have the same problem as you, hook up the trailer and slowly make a turn and the front end wiggles around the turn as if it wants to do it, a little at a time. As with some other issues you have in life, let her have her way with you until your done, don't pay her much mind, she's going your way albeit maybe not so willingly, (normal), but she will get there. Once you give her a clear and straight direction, she'll cease her arguing with you. Her tail is pulling you off of center, and if the is any restriction on the road surface, stones, dips, sand or anything, she will pull. As suggested, start moving first, then turn, but that doesn't always eliminate the problem. Getting used to it and letting it ride is my answer.

Knew you'd be hooked once you attended Don's MD. Just being around everyone there is an horror. Looking forward to seeing you both at other M & E's now that you know what to except from the VR folks I thought that was the way you said it first, and I thought RIGHT ON, but then I re-read it,,, Now I got some thinking to do,,,, that's gonna take a while.
-
Maybe you should have rode with us,,,,, we went through Westfield to pick Reiney, and then he led, I think maybe that was a good idea, we didn't see any deers at all, maybe it was Reiney,, or maybe just his scoot,, but then agian, maybe it was both.
-
Thanks Don, it was my third time, Marca's first time, and she says, yep I see everybody was thoroughly enjoying themselves and I even got to meet Don again. It was awesome, soo many good people, from all walks of life, just being together and enjoying a bit of time on equal ground. I just don't know who let Squidley out of his tent,, I thought we had him placed pretty good, but then he snuck out,,, oh well not your fault Don,,we loved every minute of and even the ride there and back will be remembered. We met some really great people, and re-met some we had met before. SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR. Carl

Now just what was he up to, I wondered when I seen that pic,,was he giving you instructions?????
-
You shouldn't go posting things like this, it's scares the crap out of all of us, new scoot, and Becky,,, and oh ya Bob as well,,,,,, glad you two are ok,,, must have been an angel there as well,,,I hear that they are in good supply, all you need to do is ask.
-
Nope, we'll sleep where we want to, when we want to and how we want to. I was just trying to make Brad feel that he had some input here, you know how little boys are,,,,,,, And you'd better watch your tongue you young whipper snapper, this 'OLD' man may be able to show you a thing or two yet,,,,, just you wait,,,,,

Carl the town i was refering to was actually Mentor. It is exit 193 off I90. Reynolds road maybe called highway or byway whatever but 306 something. There is a Red roof and Day inn to the south and Motel 6 on the north. Only 58 miles to Don's from there. Should be far enough away from Cleveland. Brad Can't seem to come up with any info myself on this, either on S&T or Naddie, but this is what Brad says.

Just plain jealous, aren't ya,,,, jealousy will get you nowhere!!!

You be careful with StarFan now won't you, he may not be used to everything we have here, and what if he gets lost,,,,, nonononono,,,we all want to meet a STAR, so keep him save,,, and you too!!!!!!! Have a great trip, see you all Sat.

So here's the scoop. Carl and Marca leave around noon to Wayne and Robin's place, We leave at 1 pm. We meet at the border,Peace Bridge, at the Timmies right at the bridge at 3:30 with more riders. From there we travel by bike to the US, and if we don't get lost or take any detours and all the parts stay on the bikes,,,ahhum,,,we should arrive in Willoughby OH about 9 pm or maybe a bit earlier. Motel there for the night, and then on to Oberlin next day. This is now written in stone,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,anybody know where I left the stone??????

Friday, aft lunch.

Time to start this thread I suppose. If I count right there should be about 15 scooters travelling from our area to MD. Do ya'll want to have company? when do we leave? where do we meet. Here's what I have so far: Carl, Wayne, Jopie, Evan, SaddleBum, are available anytime, but plan to meet in Caledonia I think??????? How about the rest Now it's your turn.
