  1. Due to loosing around 80lbs since last fall(doctor says I have diabetis2 now and have done a lot of tests but he isn't sure) I will not be attending this year. I am fine with short rides of an hour or so but Phantom Wife doesn't think I should chance it Tried to cancel reservation BUT they aren't giving refunds right now because of everything going on so I'm told. They said I can wait till they give them later on .
  2. Sorry to hear was really looking forward to this year but things happen and there is always next one!!!Keep your selves healthy and safe!!
  3. Well got woke up by wife at 3am Sun morning with waterfall coming out of kitchen cupboard where dishwasher water hose goes thru . Shut off main water line then vacuumed up kitchen. Bulkhead ceiling and every seem was leaking water like Niagara Falls . Called insurance emergency line and someone showed up within 2 hours to check what to do. Then within 1hr a crew was here to start doing emergency clean and put in fans to start drying areas and removed some wet things. Tore down the bulkhead so it didn't fall later on us. So we have had fans on and they are going to send storage unit to put things in till they clean up and repair. Hopefully they will start tomorrow. will keep up to date.
  4. Sorry to here this. Our condolences also go to you both!!!
  5. Does it matter what year frame? I have a spare frame in my side yard that I could bring in out of the COLD and take some measurements for you if you want. What measurements do you need?
  6. Tent site booked today! Have to wait till March to book holidays at work.
  7. Just got back from 2hr ride in 2deg cel weather. It was great to be out. Getting ready for Fri. the 13th get together in Port Dover Ont. Saw a dirt bike rider out also with Santa Suit on. Had coffee at Timmies and talked to a few people who said to keep warm.
  8. Got a call from Princes Auto (Canadian ---Harbor Freight) about tires were in for my steel yard wagon so I decided to RIDE 50klms to get them. It was -1deg C when I left and got to around 6deg by lunch.Left at 9:30am and got back by 3:30pm. While I was there I heard an old BMW shop had moved and reopened selling BMW'S and Indian's so went to take a look. TOO expensive for me according to PHANTOM any-way's ! Now up to 100500klms.
  9. Last week was last ride to work for the season for NOW (snow and black ice) BUT it is ready and willing to go for a ride anytime as it is off to the side in my garage as it is any year. Can't wait till next season! Depending on weather might go to Dover Friday 13th in December.
  10. Did 100klm today and have now just turned over 100,000klms on my 2012.
  11. Still ridding 2012 and getting closer to 100,000klm probably by the time I put in garage for winter. Post as much as I can. Could use a good hat hard to find
  12. Just went to check air pressure in front tire and just notticed that the people who last changed my tires semed not to be able to read or forgot how they took rim off as the rim showes the rotatyon arrow is going in the opposit direction as tire and bike. Luckily they are nearing replacement time but what would the problem be if any? Only checked tire rotation and not rim when I got it back from dealer.. Didn't think it would be shown on rim
  13. seems 2008 was last time opened for hats
  14. Priced out tires for replacement. Mettzler 888's at $$700can. installed. Dealer said she couldn't give me a review on the Dunlop E4's for rain traction but they are good for mileage
  15. Well since this is not a weekend and I am not retired yet I don't have holidays left so unfortunately this trip I will not be able to attend
  16. Great time at rally! A lot more bad weather than normal but took in stride. Not as many campers so was a little boring around fire after everyone left but it was relaxing in the quiet and full moon!!!! Stayed up with Terry to watch last of first DVD of Woodstock and then he had enough. Met a few new people ! Made it home yesterday at around 6pm. Had NO rain until around north of Brantford On.(MarCarl's area) put on rain gear and 5 minutes later pulled into Timmies and rain stopped after I had a coffee. Not long at border crossing(asked ALOT of questions tho!) but glad I wasn't anyone going to U.S. as traffic at Peace bridge was backed up way past Duty Free on Canadian side. I decided to get coffee and traffic was backed up all around Duty Free and took me a while to get around traffic. Will try to get pictures up later.
  17. First condolences to Becky and family!!! Bob will be greatly missed! Wish I could attend but will be there in spirit! Tom---Thanks for your offer! Hoped to make funeral but unable to get time off. Will be leaving maybe Wed. or Thurs.
  18. Hope things work out for you
  19. Been ridding every day rain or shine so FINALLY got to do a good bike wash yesterday. Also NEW concrete lane way helps with getting in and out of garage and also washing without finding a flat spot to park.
  20. Still looking for the best to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  21. Happy belated birthday!
  22. Sorry to hear this! Get well thoughts from Phantom & myself.
  23. Changed all brake pads and bled brake lines
  24. I finally pulled into my garage at 12:45am this morning as with weather (rain) bad traction (between concrete - groves-drop offs from construction and being out rode because of bad communication. Was following Ben to Niagara Falls but after I couldn't see and a few slips I tried to communicate this he was gone so I finally pulled of in Tonawanda to get gas and food to wait until rain let off a bit. Guess should have waited to leave as planned. Thanks again Don & Eileen for a short BUT great time. Already looking forward to next year!!! Great time meeting up with all those who I've met before and a few I met for first time.
  25. Received mine also thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
