Sorry still working , I can’t make it.

It was great seeing everyone today and meeting Adrian, just a real good bunch of people.

Sounds good looking forward to catching up. See everyone on Aug 6th. Mike

Saturday August 6th would work for us. I will keep an eye on to see how it plays out. Mike

I doubt I can be there due to work. If I can see you there, if not enjoy.

The 16th would work for us.

Hi Don, that sounds like great idea, I am still working so I may be limited depending on when. I will follow the thread and see how it develops. Mike

That was a nice treat seeing you guys that afternoon, you never know when paths may cross.

I am still kicking around, I agree it will be nice to get back out and see some friendly faces again.

Oh boy, how can you guys remember that much detail when you usually can’t recall what you had for breakfast. In my recollection, Ben was playing the paparazzi part with his camera quite well that, and we were looking at the spyder thinking where would a side car go on that and it could be tough the fly the sidecar cause there would be 1 too many wheels. Or maybe somebody yelled “squirrel” that usually does it for Baloo and I.

Wow …..that is a good picture, even better that was a great day. Thanks for posting it Ben, and yes Carl that is good pic of me, Baloo the wonder dog always makes any pic better.

As someone that has a sidecar, to me for a dog as large as a lab, the sidecar is the best option, both for the pups safety and yours. Plus sidecars are just so much fun. Mike

Sorry to hear about the relapse Don, we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. I haven’t been on the site as much since the RSV was sold, but still pop in to see what is going on. As far as riding is concerned, last summer the amount was down, but we did get out on a regular basis with Tammie and I pointing our bikes in one direction and following the roads in our corner of Ontario. In the past month or so it has come up about hopefully being able to meet up with some of the great friends we have met through this site, when this years riding season begins. Looking forward to sharing a coffee, ice cream down the road. Mike

I tend to ride all year round, in the winter months the Ural gets out more (mostly because Baloo our sidecar pup needs to go for a spin. The ST1300 gets out for its rides as well, as long as the roads are clear, I don’t have an issue riding in the colder months, just add another layer. Most rides will end with a coffee rather then ice cream that time of year. Mike

I will use either my Nolan full face or Bell Mag 9.

Welcome aboard, I have a Clearview on my ST1300 and it has made huge difference for me with buffeting, the big advantage I find is yes they are wider, but they also have a slight lip at the top that helps direct the wind over your head. Mind you I have the advantage of being to raise and lower my windshield while riding, but since installing the Clearview it has been kept in the lower position. As far as the grey tint, the times I have looked through the windshield it does not hamper my vision at all. Mike

Congrats beautiful bike.

Great story Don, That is neat when you think back on all the various adventures that we take on our bikes. Mike

Happy Birthday Carl, Mike and Tammie

Congratulations Marca and Carl on your Anniversary. Mike and Tammie

Belated Happy Birthday Ben. Mike and Tammie.

Ben, Tammie and I are very sorry to hear of the loss of Maritas Father. Please accept our condolences . Take care, Mike

Nice find Ray, love how you move it around. Mike

Congrats to both Don and Mike. It is something we all go through for various reasons, did the same myself when the 02 RSV Midnight was sold in the fall. Not long after something else was taking its place in the garage and then new memories are made. All the best to both of you on your new adventures. Mike

Thanks Ben, another fun time at Mother Tucker’s. It is always great catching up and seeing everyone . Mike
