darthandy Posted July 13, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 13, 2012 So I'm heading home from a Tim Horton's where our club had just met. I'm on a 4 lane section of what is mostly a two lane road and getting ready for a left turn to the exit ramp leading to a 4 lane limited access highway (I hate when they cheap out and put the exit and entrance ramps side by side like that!). As I prepare for my left hand turn, I see a Jeep Wagoneer or some such, with out of province plates, come barrelling up the ramp from the 4 lane. I slowed and checked the driver's head and, sure enough, he's looking behind me and just rolls through the stop sign at a good speed and directly into my path. By now I'm on the brakes and the horn and the a**hole gives me a dirty look - I guess he didn't like me honking. I swear, it took every ounce of willpower I had to keep from hanging a right (There was no oncoming traffic and I had the time and the room) and chasing him down. A few good kicks into his car's pretty blue doors (Or preferably his ugly face!) would have felt soooooooo good. But, once again, I realized that I'm the one who would have had the chat with the men in blue so I swore at him (Had to do something - he was too far to hear any way) an continued on my way. What a week - still don't know what's happening with the wife's car after Sunday's deer encounter and now this. Hope to relax in Port Dover tomorrow for the 13th. I need a break about now.

Trader Posted July 13, 2012 Share #4 Posted July 13, 2012 Pawsaw, Marcarl and I will be there! I guess it is a regular thing to meet at Tim's at 2:00 If we are not on the bikes, I will be wearing a fedora ( an Indiana Jones type hat) Would be cool to meet. Shouldn't be hard...what maybe 10,000 people??? Piece of cake~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard765 Posted July 13, 2012 Share #5 Posted July 13, 2012 I think they are expecting somewhere between 120,000 and 150,000 people. That's in a town of about 5,000. Usually packed shoulder to shoulder for the whole downtown area on a good day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted July 13, 2012 Share #8 Posted July 13, 2012 I caught wind of the event just a little too late. I have just found / started listening to 96.3 FM out of Kingston. Their studio is "just down the street from the peeler bar, well that's where it is,,," Of course I didn't realize it was that big an event. I would have been a bit surprised upon arrival I guess.

darthandy Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share #12 Posted July 13, 2012 Thanks, folks. I couldn't see the province (Or state, for that matter but it was headed towards Niagara Falls). It was the flash of colour - Ontario plates are white with blue lettering and this one wasn't. Crazy thing is ... I can't remember what colour I saw ... only that it wasn't white with blue lettering. The mind does odd things at times like that, doesn't it? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
