Got a call from Princes Auto (Canadian ---Harbor Freight) about tires were in for my steel yard wagon so I decided to RIDE 50klms to get them. It was -1deg C when I left and got to around 6deg by lunch.Left at 9:30am and got back by 3:30pm. While I was there I heard an old BMW shop had moved and reopened selling BMW'S and Indian's so went to take a look. TOO expensive for me according to PHANTOM any-way's ! Now up to 100500klms.

Last week was last ride to work for the season for NOW (snow and black ice) BUT it is ready and willing to go for a ride anytime as it is off to the side in my garage as it is any year. Can't wait till next season! Depending on weather might go to Dover Friday 13th in December.

Did 100klm today and have now just turned over 100,000klms on my 2012.

Still ridding 2012 and getting closer to 100,000klm probably by the time I put in garage for winter. Post as much as I can. Could use a good hat hard to find

Just went to check air pressure in front tire and just notticed that the people who last changed my tires semed not to be able to read or forgot how they took rim off as the rim showes the rotatyon arrow is going in the opposit direction as tire and bike. Luckily they are nearing replacement time but what would the problem be if any? Only checked tire rotation and not rim when I got it back from dealer.. Didn't think it would be shown on rim

seems 2008 was last time opened for hats

Priced out tires for replacement. Mettzler 888's at $$700can. installed. Dealer said she couldn't give me a review on the Dunlop E4's for rain traction but they are good for mileage

Well since this is not a weekend and I am not retired yet I don't have holidays left so unfortunately this trip I will not be able to attend

Great time at rally! A lot more bad weather than normal but took in stride. Not as many campers so was a little boring around fire after everyone left but it was relaxing in the quiet and full moon!!!! Stayed up with Terry to watch last of first DVD of Woodstock and then he had enough. Met a few new people ! Made it home yesterday at around 6pm. Had NO rain until around north of Brantford On.(MarCarl's area) put on rain gear and 5 minutes later pulled into Timmies and rain stopped after I had a coffee. Not long at border crossing(asked ALOT of questions tho!) but glad I wasn't anyone going to U.S. as traffic at Peace bridge was backed up way past Duty Free on Canadian side. I decided to get coffee and traffic was backed up all around Duty Free and took me a while to get around traffic. Will try to get pictures up later.

First condolences to Becky and family!!! Bob will be greatly missed! Wish I could attend but will be there in spirit! Tom---Thanks for your offer! Hoped to make funeral but unable to get time off. Will be leaving maybe Wed. or Thurs.

Hope things work out for you

Been ridding every day rain or shine so FINALLY got to do a good bike wash yesterday. Also NEW concrete lane way helps with getting in and out of garage and also washing without finding a flat spot to park.

Still looking for the best to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy belated birthday!

Sorry to hear this! Get well thoughts from Phantom & myself.

Changed all brake pads and bled brake lines

I finally pulled into my garage at 12:45am this morning as with weather (rain) bad traction (between concrete - groves-drop offs from construction and being out rode because of bad communication. Was following Ben to Niagara Falls but after I couldn't see and a few slips I tried to communicate this he was gone so I finally pulled of in Tonawanda to get gas and food to wait until rain let off a bit. Guess should have waited to leave as planned. Thanks again Don & Eileen for a short BUT great time. Already looking forward to next year!!! Great time meeting up with all those who I've met before and a few I met for first time.

Received mine also thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be camping in my Time-out

Just checking to make sure everything is ready for next weekend and have already confirmed with MarCarl to meet at Casablanca by 9 on Friday

I will be making it a group of 2

Don how much for a bell? I will take my chance with it I guess. I cold pick it up at Maintenance Day if I could.

Paul Thanks to you and your family for the great day and food! Had a good time It was a good turn out and SORRY that Phantom didn't show up as she had to work(again)) I did state not to get your hopes up). Trip home was not bad until I got to service station by Carl's place and put on rain suit just in-time as it started to down pour. I drove a few miles until I got to Burford Ont. and stopped by gas station until it calmed down--at least rain slowed enough so I could see better. Got almost home before sun came out and was fine from there.

I am up for buying one and trading a bell if available for Maintenance Day!!!!!!!!!! Lost mine a couple years ago when a light touch down after hitting Diesel fuel spill in a corner .

I've been ridding around here and back and forth to work for the last 2 weeks. Off and on rain and some blowing snow but nothing too bad. Just had to dress a little warmer.
