You look different than I imagined - I pictured you as a redhead with a shaggy bob..

Or is that one of your amazing disguises with you going under deep cover on an assignment?
:cool:

Bikes on Bond, Bikes take over the streets in downtown Oshawa, will be the first time I visit this event with my own bike

Have you ever thought about a trip to Sturgis? I don't know how feasible it would be from your neck of the woods.

Port Dover, on Lake Erie is much closer on any Friday the 13th of the month. Not quite Sturgis but worth the ride.

Friday 13th run looks good

We went Mosport park raceway today for the vintage and classic bikes. Awesome day out I was like a pig in poo. :@)

A kind guy let me ride his FS1E around the paddock, this was my first ever bike, wow that brought back some memories. What a nice guy, in fact, every one was awesome who we spoke to.

Mine was Blue! Car and Bike people all seem to be good eggs (until you get the ones that think they are better than you ;))

Kathleen Coburn was riding this 350 Elsie, she was super fast on it, had a long chin wag with her after her 7th place finish in a class which included 750 Hondas and a few Katanas.

The guy who let me ride his moped was racing a YPVS RZ350

Was advised about a place called "Yam bits" also, you may want to take a look Piff

Problem with bike shopping is making ones mind up what to buy. Too many to choose from!

Don't tell me- EMcG was in the shop buying a bell for his bike. (They do have bells on the handle bars don't they?:confused:)




I googled "Nude Ewan Mcgregor on a motorbike" looking for a suitable photo and certainly got more than I bargained for.... way too NSFW :eek:
