saddlebum Posted January 2, 2013 Author #29 Posted January 2, 2013 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 Posted January 2, 2013 #31 Posted January 2, 2013 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 Posted January 2, 2013 #32 Posted January 2, 2013 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.
paysaw Posted January 2, 2013 #33 Posted January 2, 2013 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:)
Trader Posted January 2, 2013 #34 Posted January 2, 2013 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.........

chabicheka Posted January 4, 2013 #37 Posted January 4, 2013 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..
Trader Posted January 5, 2013 #39 Posted January 5, 2013 are you folks meeting up at the show? I could join you there.
saddlebum Posted January 5, 2013 Author #40 Posted January 5, 2013 are you folks meeting up at the show? I could join you there. Its possible that some may but its up to the individuals. Bottom line (just get your butt to the Table top.
saddlebum Posted January 5, 2013 Author #41 Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) 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. Edited January 5, 2013 by saddlebum
Guest Swifty Posted January 5, 2013 #42 Posted January 5, 2013 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.

Guest Swifty Posted January 6, 2013 #45 Posted January 6, 2013 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.
