  1. There is also a really neat lodge about 15 minutes from Algonquin - called "Cedar Grove Lodge" - its on Fairy Lake - really great accomodations - log cabins, fireplaces, central hall with home cooked meals. First couple of weeks in Oct are usually beautiful. If anyone is riding around the Georgian Bay/Lake Huron area (Southampton), give me a shout - I have room here to accomodate 2 people and there is some great riding around here as well. Cheers Eugene
  2. Up here on Lake Huron - its not sounding too good -a bit cool, rain, blah, blah, blah.... You lucky ones with the sunshine - ENJOY!!! Cheers Eugene
  3. Glad you had a great day - the pics are really good - thanks for sharing! Eugene

    Gps Units

    If you want something really simple and inexpensive, the nuvi 250 is great - bought one as a gift for someone - played with it a bit - wow - super simple and easy to use. I've used the iway350c pretty decent unit with lots of options - as I get older, I prefer the simpler ones!!! Eugene
  5. Gary - That's a good move - make some good new memories in time!!! I know I've started to re-live again - you will too when you are ready. Hope to visit with you some time! Eugene
  6. Yeah sure - the surprise will be if they do anything - they get their pound of flesh through taxes on the gas so no big hurry there. Cheers Eugene
  7. ps - further to my earlier post, my trailer is tall so I can stand inside and not hit my head!!
  8. Hi there - I guess it would depend on what else you'd like to put in there. Mine is a 6 x 10 V-nose and my RSTD fits in very nicely with a bit of room at the back and some room ahead of the wheel chock. I hung a few hooks on the walls for my leathers and keep my cleaning supplies and a small air compressor in the V part ahead of the chock. The bike pretty much fills the trailer but I can still walk around it inside when all the doors are closed. If you have a trailer dealer close by, ask if you can ride the bike in and see what you think....that's what I did and was happy with the size and fit. I also had them install a couple of extra tie-down rings so now I can strap the bike in front, behind and beside if needed. Hope that helps Eugene
  9. Hey Brian - mine has a ramp door. Depending on the distance your back end is off the ground (trailer, that is), a 4 foot ramp would probably do it - and yes, at least 3 feet wide. I know you will love having the bike inside - keeps the dew off, the dust down and keeps little hands from touching!! Eugene
  10. I went with a v-nose so I could get a shorter trailer - the V gives you some extra space without increasing the length. I use mine as a "garage" for the bike both here in Ontario and down in Texas for the winter - it fits nicely in a parking spot.
  11. Hi Eck - I know what you are saying - I mean to use them on all longer rides and I agree - there will be times when its nice to hear it all. Cheers Eugene
  12. Chat's up and running as usual in Ontario!!!!! Many thanks Don

  17. Well - maybe I'm too easy to please - just a couple of things.... 1) for sure - that infernal whine has to go 2) 8 track would be nicer than cassette - or maybe a cd player???? 3) a built-in GPS would be nice That's about it - I'm quite happy with everything else
  18. Hi Rosebud - I sent you a PM - I'm interested in the GPS.
  19. Hey Don - I'm in for any costs - the chat room alone is worth it!!!!!!
  20. Well - for those who responded to my first thread - many thanks. I bought some of those foamy ones and went for a long ride today. Wow - what a difference - blessed quiet and no feeling of being tired, wind blown or goofy (except the usual!!) after the ride. I'll be wearing them for every ride now!! Cheers Eugene
