ill go if i still have my bike then
Any reason not to have it? ;)
I signed up for this on gtamotorcycle as PGOGuy..cant wait
only several more months till an amazing ride. im sick of riding around with my friends, stupid 1000s, to quick for me.
Not a geography buff :dunno_black: how far is toronto from lower louisiana?
not far only a couple days ride :)
Cool. Scale of 1-10 how fun will it be? :)
What cooridinates can i put in my tomtom? {Just to check how far :) } And what's the date?
are you actually considering coming all the way out from lousiana just to come to toronto for one day of riding? i give you props for commitment. its past buffalo...... by niagra falls......its far. not saying we dont want you to come but thats a hell of a trek for one day of riding with some canucks lol
Just bored and i didn't know it was only one day :cry:
ya since we al live in the area its less then a 2 hour ride for us so no point in making it a weekend thing. just one day, thanks for the enthusiasm though.
I am so down for this!!! count me in!!
hey man didnt know there were any londoners on here! where you at?
well i guess there is 3 londoners in here now including me.
Depending on date and place, I'd consider the ride down from Ottawa. My bike won't be running before late April or May though.
holy crap, a crap load of gs' in the gta. you can count me in, i am also sick of the 1000cc's. lookin forward to a new ridin season 8)
Don't let the quick 1000's bother you. They also beat you to the tire store to buy tires that cost twice as much twice as often!
I'd love to meet up with you guys but with my mental history I don't think they'll allow me to cross the border anymore! :cookoo:
At 60.3 MPG....then you should be able to do MINIMUM 400 per tank...if my calculations are correct?...if thats true, I guess you don't push it past 4000 rpm or something???
I'll lmpw closer to the date so post this again!
I'm from London too so if any of you other Londoners wanna go for a ride sometime, just send me a msg!
Guys/girls, we already have 40 people down for the ride! Please follow the GTAM thread at http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?t=75150
We're currently voting on 3 dates - May 23, May 30 and June 6. So far June 6 seems to be winning.
I will add the folks from here who have specifically expressed interest - if anyone wants to join, just pm me, and I'll add you to the list.
I will also post the final date/time/place and etc here.
For those of you who are really far out of town - more power to you guys, if you come down - lunch is on me ;)
Ok, now we have a date - June 6, 2009. Exact location is still TBD.
Hey everyone
I'm in, will becoming from Kitchener so just let me know the location
and times :icon_twisted:
I'll let you know as soon as we decide :)
Any word on a meet place and time yet?
I know I'm a bit tardy on posting details, but hey, I travel for a living and I have a newborn at home - cut me some slack :)
The meet will take place (well, the starting place will be) on June 6th, at 11am, in the parking lot of Extreme Fitness/Boston Pizza at the intersection of Hwy 400 & 7 - here's the map:
http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=90+interchange+way,+vaughan+on&mrt=all&sll=43.790118,-79.533591&sspn=0.00481,0.011362&ie=UTF8&ll=43.790091,-79.533468&spn=0.002405,0.005681&t=h&z=18&iwloc=A
We will get together there, and ride west on 7, then north on 27, making a pit stop either in Nobleton, or up at the intersection of 27 & 9 - there are biker friendly burger joints at either spot. From there we can continue either east on 9 to something like Weston (very scenic) or west to 50 and south through Bolton - we can decide before we ride.
I'm pming everyone individually as well.
How'd it go? Anyone?

It was tons of fun, so whoever didn't show up, missed out big time :)

Hey Dr Savant
I have to say sorry to this Saturday's meet I forgot my
pool teams get together is this Saturday , and Iam cooking
But if Sunday is the rain day I might be able to swing it
if not
the next one!
Also you said something about sendinga tatoo?
Later
kpf :dunno_black:
I'm hardcore, so no rain day for me :) I keep leaving your card at home, so I never ended up sending you that email :)
Alas, I think you won't see me at these meets anymore, after the upcoming one - I will have to pass the torch on to someone else, as I sold my GS a few days ago, and picked up a nice V-Strom.
