Ontario Meet and Greet - April 11 2014

Had a meetup with the Ontario members (DT and I lol) and a pal of mine who came along with his Kawasaki cruiser. Took a little trip up and down some mountain access roads here, almost got busted by the police but they missed us by about 30 seconds (the cop was literally pulling in to setup radar right after we went by the parking lot) - and stopped at the beach for a break in between so I snapped a couple photos while we were down there.

I'm editing and uploading a video as well so I'll get that posted as soon as it's ready!

Oh yeah, was a great time!

Yesterday not so much... hit another patch of sand and well...fuck me. Yeah, happaned AGAIN, went down...bike and I are both OK, again, had my leathers on this time, saved me some road rash. I slid about 30 feet this time after hitting the ground...

I hate sand. I'll upload the video of that crash later.

Haha beliveit or not BH I drove past a lake that is still frozen solid on the 2 hr ride up to Stoney Creek,we just got a blast of warm weather wont last but nice to get out,it been around 15 during the day and +0 for the last few nights.

A couple of days of rain makes for getting rid of the snow quick. I think every person who owns a bike in ontario had them out in the last few days, I mannaged to get to 3 of the great lakes in 2 days,was going to stop and see Jeff Rz resurection yesterday but he was in the wrong direction from home and the rain came in, a realy good thunderstorm so now the roads will be cleaned up from all the grit and salt.Managed 1500+kms in 2 days and might still get out today ,got monkey butt LOL got to break in my arse cheaks.

while the roads might be more to what you guys on that side are used to, the roads in and around stoney creak are some of the worst roads I have ridden on in ontario. They realy aren't paved as much as they are a pacth quilt of different fixesEven some of the roads up north are better.Riding on the mountain road reminds me of the cork screw at laguna seca,totaly blind entry and a 80 degree drop hair pin,lots of fun but get it wrong and it wil eat you.

Sorry to hear you went down Feliks.

Some of the roads in that video looked fun - hairpins. But I can't believe how bad the road surface was in places.

Haha or you slide all the way to the guy wire holding the pole straight (you can see the wire I nailed my leg off of in the video, about 30 feet away from where I went down) - I'm just super glad I had my leathers on!

Thanks man, hand probably ended up hurting the most, jammed my thumb, it's the only thing that still hurts today but could have been so much worse so I'm not complaining! Riding fast around unfamiliar turns... brought this on myself. Still had a wicked fun time the rest of the day! :D

Yeah good thing I know how to fix plastics! :D
