bongobobny Posted January 1, 2012 #1 Posted January 1, 2012 I sent a PM to a few of you and decided that a thread may work just as well. Becky and I are going to the Toronto Bike show next Saturday, and Motorcycle Tom and Amy are riding up with us. We plan on leaving here around 9:30 and should be in Toronto around noon depending on whether we meet up with anybody on the way. Sure would be great to meet up with you fellows! Maybe we could have a mini M&E someplace for dinner as we are going home in the evening. Let's get together! PS any of you WNY'ers going let me know so we can caravan up...

Somebody got a good idea for supper...... I could call Tuckers in Burlington, but I'm afraid they will not take reservations very early on Sat. probably have to wait until after 8pm. Give me some ideas, and I'll see what I can arrange..... also need to know how many want to join us.
XV1100SE Posted January 1, 2012 #3 Posted January 1, 2012 I have to work during the day on Saturday, was planning on going to the show late afternoon or early evening. Dinner sounds like a good idea !
bongobobny Posted January 1, 2012 Author #4 Posted January 1, 2012 OK this is starting to shape up. We expect to hit the show around 1:00 and Saddlebum said he may meet up with us. Dinner could be as late as 7:00 to 7:30 keeping in mind we have a 2 1/2 hour ride home and we are getting to be seasoned citizens. Not real fussy about where as long as it's better than Burger King or Mickey D's...

So in this case we'll be looking for some good food along the QEW...... any ideas.... you don't have to come, but I am not familiar with the food in that area,,,,,, how about it, Relic, Chabachika, Dogman, Mother, Saddlebum, cough up some suggestions.
Naugh-T Posted January 1, 2012 #6 Posted January 1, 2012 I have to work till one, not sure if Brad wants to go Naugh-T
Marcarl Posted January 1, 2012 #7 Posted January 1, 2012 I have to work till one, not sure if Brad wants to go Naugh-T Hey Brad,,, to me that would be like saying: You may go if you like,,,, wow, a day away, I'd take advantage of it if I were you.
bongobobny Posted January 1, 2012 Author #8 Posted January 1, 2012 Great story Carl, except Brad PM'ed me last nite saying he usually goes to the one in Michigan and he wasn't sure if he was going or not. He did say a couple of the Kitchener group may go...
relic Posted January 1, 2012 #9 Posted January 1, 2012 I am going to the show on Sunday with my brother as he can't go Saturday. As for food on the QEW. That is out of my area. Are you are looking at Burlington,Oakville,Hamilton or ???? If you decide on a place we may be able to make it for dinner.
bongobobny Posted January 1, 2012 Author #10 Posted January 1, 2012 Yah John, Brad mentioned you might be going. Sunday would be out of the question for us as we have to work Monday and we get up very early in the AM. The dinner can be anywhere reasonably close to the QEW, I'm leaving those plans up to you Canadians. I'm sure someone will come up with a place during the week...
BradT Posted January 2, 2012 #11 Posted January 2, 2012 Carl She works till one and it is not that far away. Just not sure what gets done during the week. I will watch the thread. Brad
Marcarl Posted January 2, 2012 #12 Posted January 2, 2012 I'm thinking to eat,, after all, I think of the important stuff, it should be in Oakville Burlington area.
bongobobny Posted January 2, 2012 Author #13 Posted January 2, 2012 That being the case then Saddlebum should be the expert for places...
Wizard765 Posted January 2, 2012 #14 Posted January 2, 2012 I'm up for this.. Tuckers Market is in Burlington right off the hwy.. and if we are waiting until 7 ish then I doubt we would need reservations..
chabicheka Posted January 2, 2012 #15 Posted January 2, 2012 I and most likely mrs can make it for dinner on saturday where ever you guys decide to have. I was thinking of around Burlington too, so we can let Ben worry about that. As for the show, I am planning on going on friday, when its not as busy as the weekend. Better to check out stuff, and for picture taking too. It really gets crazy on the sat and sundays. Not convenient for all, i guess....especially the ones that have to work. Will be nice to meet friends in a brand new year....
saddlebum Posted January 2, 2012 #16 Posted January 2, 2012 Tuckers is not a bad idea but on a Saturday it can get real busy. There is also Boston Pizza, the Keg and Jack Astor's all on the same cornor as Tuckers. Would help to know how many plan to attend. I know the owner of Ye Olde Squire I can talk to him and try and see if I can get something set up there as another option. It is just 2 streets south of the QEW on the cornor of Walkers line and fairview

bongobobny Posted January 3, 2012 Author #18 Posted January 3, 2012 Just got a PM from Evan, he is out of town but will be back tomorrow. He's interested.
dogman Posted January 3, 2012 #19 Posted January 3, 2012 Hello Bob and the rest of you. Happy New Year. I will be away skiing for the weekend at Blue Mountain, so will not be able to attend. Bob, if you and Becky do not want to drive home, we can leave a key for our house and it could be yours for the weekend. We live around the DVP and 401. Let me know. Dave
