BIG TOM Posted October 18, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) Burrr....... what a fun day ! Even with temperatures hanging around 43 degrees....We, ( dogman, ..his wife, Bernie...myself, Taters, bongobob,Becky who was fashionably late, Buffalo bodnar, Hoffy, spankym,and big D and little D from the valkyrie riders) had a great time... We arrived at Earls after a cold ,damp ride to see that Dogman had beat us there.....happy to warm up ,we enjoyed lunch and a piece of pie while hoffy went to PIONEER MOTOR SPORTS(located across the street) to purchase some cold weather riding gear.....with everyone in attendance we headed north toward my home town where it was dry and some what sunny.. lol....our destination was the t/a truck stop in the town of Pembrook.....here we had coffee and MORE pie along with ( for the real men in the group) ICE CREAM....... after a short stay we altered our destination to a northern restaurant called AL-E-OOPS. At this time we said good by to Dogman,Bernie, Buffalo Bodnar and Hoffy...... The rest of us headed inside where Becky met up with us.......MAN, what a meal. The portions were HUGE.....great BAR -B- QUE and seafood.....After stuffing ourselves we headed out , saying goodby to spanky m......we traveled east and after 15 miles or so, big and little d broke off and headed toward their home in ALBION...Taters convinced Bongo and Becky to stop at our home for coffee...after some bull swaping bob and becky left for home around 8pm tonight..... WHAT A GREAT DAY WE ALL HAD..COLD AND ALL .......WE EVEN HAD TO CLOTHE OUR MASCOT FOR THE DAY.........THANK YOU Bobby for a wonderful time..

Dano Posted October 18, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 18, 2009 Nice pics Tom, glad everyone had a good time. I had to work then pull the motor (305) out of my sons 79 Camaro, putting a 350 4 bolt together tomorrow to drop back in there. I think I'm gonna play hookie on Tuesday tho, up to high 60's, maybe even 70! Tell Bob that pic in the middle is a natural pose for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RawHide Posted October 18, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 18, 2009 We (PB &J) headed out at 9:30am braving the cold but scattered sunshine of Finger Lakes area. As we approached Henrietta BIG DARK CLOUDS approached us. At that point we decided to turn around and head back home. 2 hour round trip and we both weren't complaining but disappointed we had to turn back. Damn I was looking forward to my time with BIG TOM, hehehehe! Next time Love! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydoc_17 Posted October 18, 2009 Share #5 Posted October 18, 2009 Hey Tom and Gang, It snowed here AGAIN today ! I wish I could have made it up to NY with you guys. I see the "Blond Coyote" got her ski jacket on that penguin!:crackup:You should have come here for Ice Cream, we were making it on the @#$% front porch! I am glad you all had a great ride, hopefully we can get together in the spring. Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogman Posted October 18, 2009 Share #8 Posted October 18, 2009 Bob, thanks for organizing this ride. It was cold, but we dressed for it wearing our ski pants and balaclava's, so the cold did not bother us. However, the snow that we rode through getting to Earl's (our meeting place) sure made for some memorable times for my wife. I wish we had gotten a picture parked beside some of the cars with the little bit of snow on them. We left Toronto at 7am and got home at 8:30pm. Thank you for all the offers to bunk the night at your homes. Our original intention was to spend the night, but the snow that we went through earlier put a little fear and desire into getting home before more came down. We look forward to our next ride together. Dave and Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster Posted October 19, 2009 Share #22 Posted October 19, 2009 Hi All New to the group and alway's looking for some group rides.

Guest RawHide Posted October 20, 2009 Share #23 Posted October 20, 2009 If you kept your second original plan for the rain date on Sunday October 18th we would have had a better day for riding. Since we missed you on Saturday fearing Rain NOT SNOW for those of you who had it, we did ride towards Oswego taking the Seaway Trail along the Lake Ontario on Sunday. Phil, I and his kids all enjoyed the sunny but cool weather. It was truly a Colorful Foliage Tour of lake side NY! Maybe this Wednesday sneak another ride since it will be warmer again! Stay Warm and Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
