      After an initial hiccup with my bike we headed out to Dover. Cool but not COLD until we got about 15km from the port. Had a fresh perch lunch and several coffees and headed out to Cayuga, up to Brantford and on to Flambrough. It really got nice once we headed away from the lake. Jim is a very experienced rider and a pleasure to ride with. The traffic was light and we had a nice relaxing ride except for running Jim's bike down to fumes once.
      It was my first ride of the season as well as a shake down run for my bike. I covered 200 Km (125miles) Jim was probably around 300Kms.
      Overall it was a great day. Fair weather, good roads and great company.
      Two wheeled therapy - good for what ails ya.
      Thx Rick
      Hey Rick,
      Jim is the good looking one

        • Missed it by that much

          Tom you shoulda come to Dover. It's looking like the next ridable day is 2 weeks away!
          Sorry again Phil. Or maybe to Hamjam. It was ossJughead Jim that I was refering to. He tells me that he's better looking now than any of us ever were. Which really isn't a huge accomplishment in my case.
          Phil , next time you are having a weak moment I think it's probably about time for you to start planning the next day trip for SOXS.

          • Actually I had a very productive day on Sunday. I spent the day in the garage putting my bike back together.... It is almost there... together that is. Of course I have added a couple more things ,so I have to figure out how they fit.

                          Hey Guys,
                          Yes the weather looks good for Saturday. i have however been reserved to move my daughter from Guelph so not able to commit to lead this week. Next week weather looks fine so far too.

                          • And then there were two

                            Hey Tinman, Looks like it's just you and me for now. I was looking on google maps and a little town of Rockwood is a central point between us. If you still want to ride we could meet up there Saturday morning and strike out from there. I'm open to ideas. Rick

                                Tomorrow is supposed to be the best day yet and the traffic will be light. I think I'll head out for a day tour of Niagara area. Dunnville, Fort Erie, Niagara Falls, Niagara on the lake, St.Kitts, Jordan Valley and back to the Hammer. No QEW. No sweater under the jacket. Lots of sunshine. TWT.
