Thanks, now even more stuff to dream about ...really like the 69 Super Bee and the 67 Chevelle. Mike

Up here in Ontararario at the Southworks Outlet Mall in Cambridge, Tri City Cycles has a store in there with quite a bit of Star Motorcycle apparel. There are some cool leather jackets. Mike

Yup Bob.....you waited too long, put some chains on it and go fer a ride. Mike

I always have my eyes out for a BSA that I could play with or bring back to life......a lot easier now that we are in the new house and have the garage for the scoots. Just not sure if I could bring bike #4 in as easy as bike #3 . I guess the old adage its easier to beg forgiveness then permission or something like that. Hope the quality of the new BSA is good, have heard good things about the Royal Enfields but they really seem to be a niche market bike ........this coming from the guy that wants to get a Ural go figure. Thanks for the link Don, it was an interesting read. Mike

Picture says it all.

Glad to hear you are on the way to be fully mended. Rest Rest Rest......Do what you are told to do and you will be able to fill the freezer again and enjoy your scoot again. Mike

Hey Puc, Small world, I was killing some time between sales calls this afternoon at the local HD dealer in the Niagara Penninsula looking at a Road Glide while I was leaving there was a Tri Glide......didn't look close and have never ridden one, but it was sure purdy. Mike

Bob, Sounds like a good deal for you guys, hope you and Becky have a blast with it. Mike

Do some work on the 84 xj750 I picked up in the summer, carb work, fluids etc, then lots of polishing, then of course now that we have a garage I can do some work on my RSV and maybe even some work on the Virago that our daughter rides. Looking forward to the winter and being able to do the stuff I have always just followed some of the rest of you doing in the past. Mike

Thomas, Your scoot is in very good hands, I don't think there is any thing that Ben and Carl have not done to the Ventures. Two great guys to have in your corner. Thumbs up Carl and Ben. Mike

Darn, just saw this today ,kind of a week too late, and you were ending up in our backyard sort of now that we are down here in Welland. Oh well hope everyone had a good time. Eventually we will catch up. Take care everyone. Mike

Saw all 3 episodes and thought it was a great show, well made. Like others have said the show made Indian look like dirty buggers, but as it was said a few times in the show......it's only business.

BG, I am in the same boat, the valve cover gasket on my 02 is starting to seep a bit of oil, so if I am going to change the gasket may as well check the valves. put some time aside, get some shims and the tool and away we go. Mike

Hi Evan, Deja Vu, there is one for sale here in Welland that I saw and am thinking of checking it out to replace the RSV. I have always liked the sport tourers, my biggest concern is if it would be big enough for both Tammie and myself to travel on. Mike

Well ok my 2 cents ....... we were supposed to be going to Ontario rally, but like others... life, work or what ever raises its ugly head and you have to make decisions, for me it is another summer of not even riding very much, most of my riding has been the weekends when I do the motorcycle instructor thing. We just moved to a new house and that doesn't help things either. What ever rally or meet n eat folks are going to, have a blast, be safe, and enjoy. Hopefully our paths will cross with others down the road whether it be somewhere here in Ontario or in NY state or Pa where we have been known to point the front wheel and follow it. Mike

Wayne, I wouldn't mix bias and radial, as for the 404's I have them on mine and they are doing ok for us. I love the white wall even though they are a PITA to keep clean. Mike

I have always carried them in my wallet. Mike

Don, I understand the thinking going on when your son or daughter gets the bug, our daughter has been riding for a few years now, she has done the courses for the rider training. The one real good thing, she has always been very steady when riding, maybe that sounds weird, but what I mean, I remember the stuff I did when I was young and starting out riding, and I haven't seen that in her at all. She is now 23, on her 2nd bike, an old 750 Virago that she loves, and in fact this year she is joining me as a riding instructor (she is doing the training part but will soon be a full instructor). As for your sons choice of bikes, I am kinda partial to the bobbers myself and I am sure with your level headed guidance he will do just fine as a rider. PS....there is nothing cooler then going for a ride with your child, just make sure he knows that he buys the ice cream at the end of the ride. Mike

Hi Evan, Sorry to hear about the crash but real glad you were not hurt. Mike

The side covers are missing the chrome strip.......more chrome more speed and better handling....everyone knows that.

True words.....sorry about your brother

The Blonde was pretty, nice lookin bike ,but I couldnt stop lookin at the old Harley war bike........just awesome. Mike

Oh there may be a BBQ and meet n greet in the future. Always a spot for folks to stop by and say Hows it goin EH!!!!!

Naw Bob just got tired of the city we are currently in, tired of too much noise from next door neighbours........turning into the grumpy get off my lawn kinda guy. Mike

Wayne and Dave, Moving deeper into the Niagara penninsula, found a nice spot in Welland, kind of going against the norm......bigger property, detached house more square feet above grade, but over all less room for our stuff that is in the house. But we will now have a 1 1/2 car garage, big shed, plus a huge driveway for parking cars, trailers, more bikes etc. Both Tammie and myself are real excited about the move, farther from work ,but oh well thats the way it goes to find some sanity and peace and quiet.
