Meet & Eat Burlington Ontario

[saddlebum]

I'd come....if I wasn't 1600 miles, or 2575 KMH away

 

Hey Squid I just did the math If you are 1,600 miles away. Then traveling at 2,575 KM/H it should only take one hour to get here. I believe there is a one hour time differenc so leaving your home at 4:PM your time should get you here in time to listen to Carl's before dinner speech.

That's just so he will be able to snooze a little before he gets to eat,,,, wouldn't want him to be too tired when eating eh? can't enjoy the food as well you know,,, so eating @ 8 would work out just about right then

[Evan]

As it stands, we will be entertained this weekend by our two young grandkids who will be staying over for the weekend. As a result, my only chance to make the bike show will be on Friday, and I will check to see if I can hook up with other members that day? We sure enjoyed the meet and eat after the show last year and hope to make the next one.

[Evan]

come visit me at the C.M.A. booth from 12 to 2 on Friday

Brian, I hope to attend the show Friday and will definitely look for you. In fact, both Abdul and I tried to find you but neither of us could locate the CMA booth at the December bike show here in Toronto.

Hi Evan. My brother is in town and may want to go to the show Friday as well.Maybe we can get together.

Also, Ben I have a windshield and gasket to get to you.Make sure you get in touch with me to get these items. I am very close the the airport .I am not sure about the meet and eat at this time. Ray:)

I'm thinking of heading over either Friday or Saturday....not sure which.

 

It's a shame the M&E is in Burlington....wrong way for me. If it was somewhere in TO I'd join you...but I can't see adding another 40 min each way to what is already a long enough trip.

 

Now if I was on the bike.........

I went ahead and asked Ben for you and he agrees with Marcarl, its not that far.

[chabicheka]

I was planning on going friday, but have a nasty cold right now.....so they ain't getting my 20 dollars this time around to walk around aimlessly through out the day.

 

Besides, i don't really need anything. Been to the other show at the Convention centre, anyhow..

[saddlebum]

Bump

[Trader]

Its possible that some may but its up to the individuals. Bottom line (just get your butt to the Table top.

[saddlebum]

Just a note I made reservations with extra seats so for anyone who did not RSVP but suddenly decided they can make it, by all means come.

Where the hell are you???

 

Fort Myers, made it back. Weather was great, got one of my license plates stolen, I only had to talk my way out of one 85 in a 55, and you just can't beat filling up your tank for $50 instead of $75, so it all went fairly well.

I'll plan to make it for the dinner.

I am going to the show so you can count me in, if their is no major snow storm that is.

HIP, HIP, HURRAY. for Omer!!

Finally, we have an American Venturerider who acts like a Canadian Venturerider...that is, for practically no good reason, he takes off for a 4 hour ride to another country just to be part of a VR meet n eat....a meet that Carl was at no less.

(I wonder if the fact that he rides an '86 has anything to do with having such a carefree spirit!)

Kudos Omer.

Hope you had a safe ride home.

It was definitly a Pleasure to have Omer among us at the meet and eat. I hope we made him feel at home and that he enjoyed our company as much we enjoyed his. As swifty said Have a safe trip Home.

 

It was great to sit down with all who were present to enjoy another group feed with good food.

 

Thanks to Keri and her Table Top staff for a wonderfull meal.

[Marcarl]

Soooo, who has the pictures???

[Marcarl]

Soooo, who has the pictures???

Oooopppsss? we was supposed to take PICTURES????? We was having way too much fun to worry about things like that.

Guess it didn't happen EH? Maybe we'll just have to do it again just to get some of those picture things.

WeLLLL Bob ....It just so Happens that our Photographer ( chabicheka ) and our back up photographer (bongobobny) did not attend so Pics did not happen. Seeing as how failing to take pics of any VR event is against the VR code of ethics I believe these two for derelection of duty :backinmyday:and failing to appear. should be severly punished:pushups:and no :ICshocked: at he next Ontario M&E

Ben I told you to be careful with the whine.

 

Whats the matter with your phone you were waving around, did it not have a camera or just not ure how to use it.

 

Swifty - you heading to Larry's meet in Michigan this Saturday

Me and Bob have decided to go on strike since we have been without a contract for far too long now, and repeated requests have fallen on deaf ears... or dead batteries, in Carl's hearing aid. Now we know you are Dutch, Carl, but those batteries are supposed to be changed every year....not every decade!

The conditions we had agreed to, verbally, ( BIG MISTAKE) haven't been adhered to. We know you always used to eat mini ice cream cones before, whenever we made ice cream stops...and i believe we have pics to prove that somewhere...will try and fish them out. I think Bob should have one of those in the files...but since hiring us, you been eating double scooped cones.

Why do we get a feeling the funds supposed to come our way, have found their way in to someone else's pockets??

So we need to sit at the table again, and sort this problem out. And we request management send someone else to bargain with......anyone......except of course, Big Tom:scared:. ...cause we all know if he was to deal with the situation...

 

Starving artists.....Bongobob and Chabicheka. :bawling:
