Went to Woodstock Auto Swap meet this morning(what a waist if time and $10) then did a 2 1/2 hr(375klm) motorcycle ride to Fort Erie Motorcycle Swap meet(actually Cristal Beach arena) which turned out to be a bit of a waist ( I knew it was 99.9% Harley but you never know for sure)but did buy a Canadian flag and a louder horn than I have! Was supposed to be rain all day but only ran in and out of wet roads and heavy drizzle! All in all it was a GREAT ride anyways!!!!!
-
Also looking forward to our Ontario get together s with Ice-cream and maybe a little ride! Always a great time seeing people we haven't seen since last year! Hopefully more show up this year!
-
Been able to get out a few more times this past week ! Weather is still sketchy lately with high winds and rain but will have some great ridding ahead!
-
Congrats! Glad you finally got out! Sorry we couldn't get your center-stand mounted like you wanted but if you ever need any help you know who to call!!

Happy Easter to everyone!!!

Had a front tire mounted backwards by dealer(didn't notice for over a year) and didn't notice anything different! Rode until needing new tires without any problems. Pointed it out to dealer after finding this and they said it would be no problem!

Still have my 87 that was my first touring bike(sold last bike {84 Honda 400SS} to get married in 83) rode it till having accident in 2008. Bought it back with intentions of restoring when I had time after retiring! Well that hasn't happened and not sure if it will happen at all!!!! Don't have the money or the time as I hoped to have!!! Really miss ridding it!! I do ENJOY ridding my 2012 Royal Star Venture but both bikes have their qualities that make me LOVE both!!! Will have to see what happens I guess!! -
Anybody close to Kitchener.....I will need some help.

Also got to do some shopping while there! Went to Kitchener Surplus and Princess Auto for a few things! Got into Woodstock after nephew called me for ride and saw that gas at stations was$1.56 at most but where I usually go to was $1.40 so stopped and filled up! Got back into truck turned key and NOTHING! All dash lights were on like normal but starter wouldn't click! Went across to business across the road to see if I could roll truck into his lot so I could call wife to see if I could try a boost and he offered to boost me. He brought his vehicle over but wouldn't turn over! Took his vehicle back and proceeded to push me over to his property. Was so busy that we got cut off a few times before we got my truck into his lot. Tried everything but ended up calling mechanic but he was closing before I could get it towed to his shop. After an hour tow truck showed up and took truck to shop. Waiting today to see what was problem(hopefully not expensive. Said he would try first thing this morning.Hopefully only a relay! Just my luck! So much for getting cheap gas, also didn't get my points or my extra discount! -
