sleepy2

Congrats also from Phantom Wife and I !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No problem Brenner! I had a phone call as I was getting ready to leave from one of my nieces that her older(53)sister had passed away that morning. Talked to her for 1/2 hour then she told me to get going to Dover as she knew I would be going and didn't want me to hear it on Facebook. Wizard765--sorry couldn't stay as I had to go and get some sleep before work. Left around 1pm Now am getting ready to drive to London to give my oldest boy & friends to replace(upgrade) his front and rear axils on his Jeep Cherrokee.

Just got back home from Dover around 2pm. Lots of bikes ridding in and also a few trailer queens being taken out of trailers on side streets!Looked for Brenner but no luck. sat on bike in Timmies for quite a while but no show! Went for walk around then bought T-shirts and headed home around 12:20.

Took bike out for ride then came home and cleaned it up. WAY too many nut-jobs out still! Still thinking of ridding tomorrow. Will probable leave around 9 or so. If weather changes will truck it.

Brenner--sent pm

Unlike some I have only missed 1 Friday the 13th since 2002. NOT that I have too or like big crowds but is something to do. Usually the cold ones not very many show up--like this year I heard only around 4 or 5 showed up. One was from this area on a dressed Harley. When I was there I only seen a Scooter and he was in Timmie's having coffee! I went in my truck because too much snow on the streets around our house. Probably won't take bike this Friday for same reasons BUT you never know!! I work Midnights and usually go first thing in morning(usually leave around 8 or 9am ) so I can look around if bikes show up and get a shirt or two then get home to sleep for work later. If this works for you maybe we could meet for coffee. If I go by truck I drive White + rust Mazda 4x4 with topper.

Best wishes to you both!!!

This was another reason why I didn't buy Harley that I wanted. Dealers around here(London/Kitchener Ontario Canada) don't even want to talk Metric.When I mentioned trading in my 2000 Road Star 1600 with a lot of options they told me that they would call a "FRIEND" and get back to me. Turned out that the "FRIEND" WOULD GIVE me a whole $3000 "they said accessories didn't add to raise trade value and that would be around 10% down payment" for the $30,000 + bike I was looking at. Harley thought that was a great price" I DIDN'T at all !!! So off to another dealer (Yamaha) that said that they would ONLY be able to give me $5500 for the same bike that Harley friend said $3000. Guess what bought brand new 2012 Royal Star Venture for almost 1/2 price of Harley!! Haven't looked back!!! Well maybe a bit since I always wanted one since my younger days.

Well this year didn't start off great as I mistook the 3rd. for the 4th. as most are on Sundays not Saturdays. Will try NOT to make this mistake next year!

Thanks for the responce for resizing pictures will try again.

As usual I am going to miss this meet. I have to go to work that night and there won't be enough time for food and sleep before I have to go to work. Could have if I could have afforded to retire like I could have this month(or won the lottery). No luck yet!! Still hoping.

Gave Phantom Wife HP Laptop and she gave me a Keurig2.0 coffee maker and an oil painting of my 2012 Royal Star Venture S. I took picture to show but it won't upload here and there doesn't seem to be any way to downsize

When I was in my 20's I was the only one with a car when I hung out with nieces and nephews so we would go to neighboring towns and cities to roller-skate. This went on for a few years and got very tiring for me. So one day we were going to go to Toronto (about 90 miles from me) for coffee then skate when I run onto the shoulder of the road and kept driving. Heard later that I drove about 5 miles this way and stayed on shoulder even around bends. Supposedly someone was telling others to wake me but refused because could be more dangerous at the moment.A little while later I guess I got back on highway and said lets stop here I don't think we should go any farther. Then a week later one of my nieces gave me a picture of Sleepy from Snow White and it has stuck since then. Had to add 2 to my username when I joined because someone had that name at the time(not sure if it was here or the other group before we split) Can't remember why the lower case "s "tho. My wife got her username because for the first few years (and seems like now also) nobody even believed I was married because she never went to meet and greets or rides with me so somebody brought up the name Phantom Wife and it has stuck. I keep trying to get her out but dosn't always work as most people in my area can attest to. MarCarl & Wizzard765 have showed up at my home and have seen her with me. Some remarks have been that{ I rented her} {picked her up on the way there}{my neighbor} and a few others.

Primmum (TD)$1200 full coverage. Drive longer than most but still shouldn't be so much. Also wish I was in States sometimes.

Went for 2 1/2 hour ride today.Was 3deg c. Only seen a dirt bike with passenger(NO Phantom was NOT with me) Seen lots of Harley clothing wearers around but NO bikes with them. Brother-in-law saw a bunch yesterday tho.Waiting to see what rest of week brings.

Well rode up till last Wednesday night to work at 10pm. Was not a bad ride only -3c. Pretty chilly driving around Thurs. Did some shopping and stopped for coffee with 3 retired ex-police and ex-Marine that has lived here for over 40 years then went home to get some sleep before I had to go to work. Looked at update of forecast and decided to leave bike at home just in-case. As it turned out by the time I made it home in morning and got within 2 blocks of home the road was covered enough that I would have to drive trailer that few blocks just to get home. So I guess won't be ridding until spring unless it gets nice out for a few days during winter. Usually get out for a couple rides during this but that usually depends on weather and salt distribution. Will see what happens. Come-on-spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe they would do better to A D V E R T I S E like everyone else does????????????

Just got back from a morning ride and no sight of that stuff here in Woodstock west of Brantford. Still ridding to work every night for midnight shift.

Guess I should have been on more often as I just tried to get on site and got an error message. Luckily just went and found that we have another site! Thanks for starting this new site!! Seems to be well thought out ! Congrats all around!

Sorry but I bought Wizard's center stand from him.

Glad you made it home safely and had no problems. Sounds like you had a great time exploring. It was nice having time to talk with you and Angel at the rally. Hope to see you again.
