A very diverse group of bikers on a group coastal ride yesterday, my lady friend got much respect for having no trouble keeping pace with a group of muscle-ey bikes.

take a peek.

Great pictures! Just showed my husband, he enjoyed seeing all the motorcycles (some that he has owned too!) Looks like y'all had a great time.

Peter, did you take any photos of the scenery and places that you visited? I know a lot of the small towns in your area. My partner is from Witless Bay. I have a sister in law from Petty Harbour that I see you rode through. Most of my partner's family still live in Nfld, Mt. Pearl, Bay Bulls etc.....

I'd love to see more photos.

Benito, at work now, but I'll try to up some later on.
It's an awesome place to ride here, few cars, lots of scenic roads...

I'm considering getting a little solid state video camera to do ride videos, I like watching other peoples ride vids on youtube. Fun to watch the scenery going by & see their riding style.

Witless Bay? Petty Harbour? Is this the dysfunctional part of Canada? Clown emoticon

the fact that Dildo, Come by Chance, and Conception Bay are in the same general area complicates the issue a bit. dysfunctional? or very happily functional? you'll have to visit and make up your own mind

genie, I don't care if this true or not, these are place names that will linger in the mind!

I would have been more robust in my response but I fear the puritannical hammer of karma... but thanks for the laugh.

Sounds like southeastern Pennsylvania, home of towns like Blue Ball and Intercourse.

Near my hometown of Punxsutawney, in western Pennsylvania, there are lots of tiny mining towns with great names... like Desire, Paradise, and Panic (not necessarily in that order!).

oh it's all absolutely true. you couldn't make this up. clearly, newfoundland was originally populated by comedians or sex maniacs or both.

i like the idea of a 'puritanical karma hammer' .... i smite thee with a disapproving look, oh filth wizard ....

More like it is the most fun part of Canada. Dildo, Heart's Desire, Heart's Content, Cupids, the names go on, but more fun than Halifax, Toronto, etc.

Seriously, I had a lovely filthy post all lined up - and then I thought of the children.

I am a recovering filth wizard.

Ha... I hardly ever get up there any more since Mom died. My old paper route used to end up at Phil's burrow on Gobblers' Knob. Dad's cousin used to be the guy who wore striped trousers, swallow-tailed coat, and top hat and spoke "groundhogese" to Phil.

My apologies for the thread hijack!
