Evan Posted January 4, 2012 #26 Posted January 4, 2012 I have made reservations for Venture Riders at Tuckers Market place in Burlington for 8:00 PM this sat Jan 7th, for 25 +/- people. Please let me know if you are coming and if this time works out ok. It is the only time I could get here for a group this size. Other option would be to try another location to get something closer to 7:00 or 7:30. Keep in mind that although the time would be earlier. you could end up leaving later due to other places not being a self serve. Anne and I will be there. Bob and Tom, the restaurant is about 45 minutes from the show location and there is not much else to do in that area after you tire yourselves out at the show. You are welcome to come to our place for a vist and drink and to give Tom and Amy a feel for the heart of Toronto if you have time for that.
bongobobny Posted January 4, 2012 Author #27 Posted January 4, 2012 Ok first off, 8:00 is about the latest we would want to do so that's fine, thank you Ben! Sorry, we were both working today hence no one to answer the phone. Now, Evan, sounds great! We could meet at your place prior to going to the show if you wanted to go. For the rest of you, let me know if you want to meet up along the way so we can make arrangements...

chabicheka Posted January 6, 2012 #40 Posted January 6, 2012 very tempted to RIDE to the show today.....high of 5 celcious!
saddlebum Posted January 6, 2012 #41 Posted January 6, 2012 Go for it Abdul. ...food for thought snow mobile suits work great on motorcycles too. Thats what I wear when I ride on cold winter days ( but only if the roads are clear and dry).
BradT Posted January 7, 2012 #42 Posted January 7, 2012 Not sure yet, won't know until later tomorrow. Brad
chabicheka Posted January 7, 2012 #43 Posted January 7, 2012 Go for it Abdul. ...food for thought snow mobile suits work great on motorcycles too. Thats what I wear when I ride on cold winter days ( but only if the roads are clear and dry). Hey... I did ride to the show! and so did Evan. Saw lots of motor bikes in the parking lot too. Wasn't too cold for riding...just had to be careful in wet or icy areas, and luckily didn't come across any. Show wasnt bad. Met Ray and Evan there and we had a little lunch break together. Was nice to sit down for a bit. Lots of walking gets done while you are there. Quite tired by the end of the day. I was there for almost 7 hrs. Hope to see u all sat night in Burlington. Am loading some pics i took there.
saddlebum Posted January 7, 2012 #45 Posted January 7, 2012 We got there about 7:30pm and left around 9:30pm. I got what I wanted at the first booth by the entrance. Radio World has the Garmin Zumo for $599. That was all I bought this year (last year I spent about $400 on chrome, clothing, and cleaning products !). We are pretty much set for clothing and safety chrome so all that was left was to wander thru the 5 halls.... sorry, no pictures.... I knew Abdul would come thru (nice pics by the way) ! Was a good show, definitely lots to see. I got the deal I was looking for, good evening out with the girlfriend... priceless ! which Garmin Zumo did you get?
bongobobny Posted January 7, 2012 Author #46 Posted January 7, 2012 Oh boy!!! Today's the big day!!!!!
chabicheka Posted January 8, 2012 #47 Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) 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! Thanks to Bobs suggestion for meet and greet in ontario....well...it happened....i know.....PICTURES!! Well, here's some, so all know it happened. Me and Shah really enjoyed the food and good company, and by looking at everyone's bellies as they were leaving, i think all did. Will leave the story telling to others about how the day went for them at the show etc etc.. Abdul. Edited January 9, 2012 by chabicheka
saddlebum Posted January 8, 2012 #48 Posted January 8, 2012 Well we had a great turn out for sure. It was the perfect way to break up the winter isolation for those of us who do not have the luxery of ridding all year round. Food was good, the company of freinds was excellent and I do believe a good time was had by all. Many had been to the bike show, so needless to say what some of the conversation was about. I for one totally enjoyed it and would love to thank everyone who made it. Speacial thanks to bongobobny who produced the initial spark to make it happen.
Trader Posted January 8, 2012 #49 Posted January 8, 2012 I couldn't go! I had a tenant leave and really trash the place so I've been working on renovating it. Painting from top to bottom, new tile in bathroom, toilet, vanity, taps on jacuuzi tub and sink as well as flooring, putting in new kitchen taps and resurfacing the counter with ceramic tile. Thanks for the pics of the show and M&E. Nice to see some familiar (and yet strange) faces! Mind you...in the pics from Tuckers I don't see a single smile! Was that a conspiracy against the camaera or was the food really that bad?
bongobobny Posted January 8, 2012 Author #50 Posted January 8, 2012 That's all because we were too busy shoving that delicious food down our throats Steve! Sorry you could not make it and yes we had a FANTASTIC time!! Thanks again to Ben who did the legwork getting everything arranged. Wish I could have gotten over to the other table to visit more with them but had a great time at our table too! Sooo, looking forward to the mid winter Marcarl M&E in Kitchener if Carl ever gets off his butt and arranges it...
