  1. Just checked and days being looked at are 23rd(Tuesday)with 24th (Wednesday)as rain date 24th with 31st (Thursday)as rain date 31st with August 1st (Friday)as rain date Time?
  2. So wood a week day around 5pm work or would it have to be a Saturday? A week day might be OK temperature wise(might be cooler) but might have to change depending if it rains!
  3. Thanks for the reply! Had great but very hot and humid day but didn't look like it was going to be as it it rained so hard last night that it was hard to see even with wiper on high(making sure signs I distributed were still up) wife said we made $110 dollars, which she doesn't think we will have another sale again! Got really windy around 1pm as we were getting ready to put things away (both sun shades we had set up were blown over) ended up taking 2 car loads of stuff to Good Will so they can distribute to needy! Have to wait till tomorrow to pickup bike from oldest boy's garage as I kept it there so it was out of the way! Will get out tomorrow!
  4. Any suggestions would be welcome!
  5. Was wondering if any Ontario riders are interested in getting together for a coffee and or Ice-cream in the near future? Even if caging it , just miss getting to see people! I am available any day (depending on time,weather etc) Have someone asking (Don in Kitchener)and am trying to figure out when he would be able to meet and how we could coordinate with time andplace(weekend or later in the day during the week) will also contact Reiny Rooster in Kitchener! Saw he has his Venture up for sale or trade for Gold Wing on the Market Place site!
  6. Been out a few times this week but mostly late afternoon as temperatures were a bit too warm out to be comfortable. Wife talked me into having yard sale so will be busy tomorrow. Selling all her coats, chaps etc as she hasn't rode with me in 4 years so just taking up space!
  7. Again congratulations!!! Enjoy!!
  8. @Chaharlyactually the event is well behaved even with at least 3 major Bike groups including Hell's Angels to name one! Lots of police presence every where! Not as many having the riot guns and body armor like some past times! Every one seems to get along as like the area is neutral ground! You don't bother them,They don't bother you!
  9. Went for 200klm(125ml) ride last Friday. Went to Port Dover to the only Friday The 13th this year!(get together for all kinds of bikes(mostly Harley)and motorcycle riders from all over Canada(some from Manitoba,Alberta,Quebec, and some from US)Estimated to be around over 100,000 bikes. And as usual there were a few accidents on way and home for a few riders.(around 6 that we know of,luckily no deaths)
  10. Congrats to both of you!!
  11. 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!!!!!
  12. 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!
  13. 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!
  14. 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!!
  15. Happy Easter to everyone!!!
  16. 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!
  17. Back to rain and snow right now!
  18. Between London and Brantford Ontario Canada and getting weather you guy's are sending our way. Rain ,cold yesterday so no riding since Monday! Heavy freezing rain,hail and snow again plus very cold,so no riding today also! Supposed to be high of 15deg.cel. tomorrow. More rain etc. then chance of rain all weekend then chance of SNOW again Mon. and Tues.!!
  19. Same problem here in Canada!! Had to go to Dunlop s to get matching tires! Very hard to find them in our sizes!
  20. 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!!
  21. Just got truck back. Was starter and main wires going to it Cleaned wires and resolved ends plus rebuilt starter. $580.
  22. 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!
  23. Sorry we couldn't get the center stand to work since your bike had lowering links! Was a good visit anyways! Good to see you and Don again ! Looking forward to going on some rides even if just getting together for coffee and a cruise!
  24. What ever time is convenient, should be OK! Just need a little heads up!
