Anyone else going to Port Dover for Friday 13th ?

My son's will be along with a friend from work.

NO we will not be ridding as good chance of bad weather and it is raining right now and around freezing temp. Wanted to but don't want to take a chance(long season to go) If we have time we might be able to stop in to Carl's in Brantford on the way back.

I guess we could be like some other bikers and sneak bike in on trailer and just fib about ridding there.:mytruck::mytruck1::rotf:

Hope to be there around 11:30 or so

Hey Phil - a bunch of us are heading down. Going to the New Sarum for breakfast at 8:45 and then heading to Port Dover but most likely on 4 wheels. Apparently they're only setting up vendors at the Giant Tiger parking lot, so it should be pretty cozy. Might see you there.

 

Cheers,

Hey Lou: got down to Port Dover around 11:30. Saw you on the road a couple time's taking pictures but by the time I figured out it was you and I found a place to park(I was driving a white Mazda(Ranger)pickup with topper and bush bar on front) you had disapeared. Kept looking and taking pictures and spotted 2 83-85 Ventures riding around and then parked in Timmi's but didn't know the riders.Also seen(uuuugggg:happy-emoticon:) the next new THONG MAN ridding around. I say next new one because we seen the original walking around(fully dressed) with his trademark (THONG MAN) beltbuckle on.

So what was going on up there guys in Port Dover for the 13TH?

Mike - there's a long history behind Friday the 13th, Port Dover and the biking community. Each time there is one there is a gathering of bikers - last year set a record with over 30,000 bikes and over 120,000 people (it was in June). This year there are 3: February, March and November.

 

Here's a link to the history behind Friday the 13th and Port Dover, Ontario:

Hey Phil - I even wore my VR hat (see picture below). We got there around 10:30 and left just past noon. Not much going on, although a few braved the snowfall overnight and made it on 2 wheels.

 

Cheers,

Lou---when I first saw you it was from the back and side so I didn't notice the hat(didn't recognize it was a Venture hat) but the Harley Davidson patch threw me off .So I wasn't sure until about the 3rd siting that it was you and by then it was too late.

 

Carl----I'm not sure if you meant that I missed out in your message but couldn't be helped as we had to hurry back sooner than anticipated(friends wife needed him home) so I didn't have time to stop in.(sorry)

Wizard765--I think is was just a twitch that he pushed the wrong number.(was this a help Carl?)

Chabichaka--I am#2 behind you in signing up for May M&E at Marcarl's

Is everyone else aware or waiting to see who else is coming?Could also be the economy right now I guess.
