sleepy2

Arrived and waited for a while then went shopping at Canadian Tire then went back to meet Ben (saddlebum) on his bike then Don (xv1100se showed in his Tundra (don't care what he showed up in). Stood around for coffee and conversation then Don headed out and Ben and I went shopping at Princess Auto then went our own way home! Didn't go on leaf tour as we liked shopping better I guess!

Have arrived! Waiting to see you guys!

Same one we always meet at. If coming 403 take Rest Acres exit north then go I think2 roundabouts and on left side in miny mall. Hopefully there by 9:30 -10

Seems to be no change in weather as of now!

Sorry to hear this !! He will be missed!!!! Great guy! Condolences to Deb and family!!!

Just checked channel and calling 13-14cel. no rain till Sunday so I will probably be there hopefully by 10am.

Weather channel saying is supposed to good day!! I am up for it!

Just got back home around 2:30! Was at Timmie's between 10 and 11:15 then went for around a 80klm(1 1/2 hr) ride to see the leaves and passed a Halloween display that took up someone's whole front yard. the route I ended up taking had 2 stretches of packed gravel rood but was just like riding on pavement. (roughly 2 to 3klms ) Thank you @Marcarll!!!!!!! It was a pleasant ride! Would have been better with company but maybe next Saturday will be better!!

Here's some of pictures along the way and at Timmie's

Little late but am at Timmy's Paris Ontario!

Seems like I am going to chance the ride to Brantford as forecast saying light rain then clearing! Hopefully be there by 9:30 or so!

Guess we should try next weekend??? 28th I might go down anyways if weather is like today!

Just got oil and filter changed Sunday night and also changed rear brake pads then took it for test ride Monday morning. Still running great and waiting for Saturday ride!!

Just got back at 4:30 today from my 200klm ride to port Dover and back! talked to a few guys who had Ventures and had problems, couldn't get dealers to help so went to Harley's! Also only took a few pictures as not anything peeked my fancy!(same old)

Try the 21st but if rain maybe 28th??

How many would be up to 21st or28th? Ice Cream would be out as I think they closed past Saturday or Sunday!

Like everyone else said!!

As I found out and as always anything I plan gets screwed up, I will not be able to attend on the 7th! 40th Anniversary is the 8th and planned to(And was allowed)ride the 7th then go out on the 8th BUT like I said that was screwed up! There is a small barbecue get together planned for us on the 7th and I have to keep Phantom Wife occupied till then.

We are all hoping this has a hopeful outcome!

Each new device that adds convenience to me it is just more things to go wrong and cost goes up!

Totally agree with @bpate4home

Yes very knowledgeable and helpful people! He has helped me in the past also!! Nice bike you have, only saw it when we worked on @XV1100SE(Don)bike a while ago!Hope we(Ontario riders) get to see in person !

That's the same model I was looking at back in 2012 for my future retirement vehicle BUT price without any options put a stop on it( mostly Phantom Wife had me going on getting it) so bit the bullet and gladly bought my 2012 Venture!! (don't regret one bit) But again Congrats on your purchase!!!

Nice!!! Jealous!!
