I'll check my calendar and rearrange stuff if I can. Putting faces to names will be a good thing.

Where are you riding to0, and for how long? My wife or I would like to go but with an M1, we need to have the bike back in Port Credit before dark. (40 minutes from location.) Otherwise we may just take the cage to meet the riders. My M2 date is June 1, and my wife a few weeks later.

I don't know what's planned for a ride, but I have to have an early night as well.

Those of us who can't spend much time can do something short - like a ride out to the Exhibition Grounds, High Park or something like that.

The M1 drivers are really restricted, but as an M2 I can't even have a beer! 45 years old - been driving cars for 29 years and I have to stay totally dry!

I might be a touch late getting to U of T. I have interviews with my daughter's teachers until 6:30, but it's just in the King and Parliament area.

I think a ride to High Park sounds like an excellent idea!

It has one key thing that we are looking for at the end of a ride...

ICE CREAM

I didn't make it to the ride!

My parent-teacher meetings went way long ( the kids have to come first). By the time I headed out towards High Park, it was almost 8PM. I did a quick look around and then gave up and went home.

How did it go? Did everyone get ice cream?

Is vintage red real purdy??

Awesome ride!

Nice to meet everyone.

Sorry you didn't make it Christine. We left UofT shortly after 7 and just drove through High Park and then on to an ice cream shop on the Queensway. Next time!

I posted some pics:

TORONTO tuesday evening group ride pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Post 26407)

What is it with girlfriends refusing to even consider hopping on the back? Her loss!

Had a great time last night guys and gals... I always wondered what 2-stroke x10 smelled like from the rear of the peloton. Razz emoticon

Next step - gotta find me some better riding wear. As a relative noob to Toronto, who can point me to the best place to find a comfortable jacket (vintatge or otherwise).

Looking forward to the next ride!

Hey Cardiac, here's a list of places around town... http://www.ridertraining.ca/resources.html

I found Motorcycle Superstore Inc on River St to have good prices, and Mc Bride have a nice display of goodies... else there's always ebay if you know the right sizing....

another place with good prices is http://www.newenough.com/intl/product_department_closeouts.htm

Good luck!

That was awsome, had a great time. Thanks for the photos. Now I have proof of my Vespa bragging rights. Anybody up to a trip to Cobourg on Canada Day? I know its awhile off so this is just a heads up. They have great Canada Day festivities, right on the lake, farmers markets, parades etc. A nice ride out either hwy 2 or 4&9. 4 & 9 (Steeles) is a little more scenic. Also, any campers in the crowd? Up for a weekend? I'm thinking a trip to Algonquin Park. I have a place to stay, all we need is food and tents.

Cheers
Rick
