It's Long Weekend

[DaveM]

So what what are you going to be doing

 

[Rocky]

It was a holiday long weekend for us last weekend so a bunch of my rowdy friends and I took an overnight ride around the western end of the province.
Another beautiful weekend coming up tomorrow so we're taking a day trip on Saturday to the northern area of the province and a breakfast ride locally on Sunday.

 

[DaveM]

Rocky you must enjoy the trip. I would have loved to have been able to do a biking trip this weekend but just too many things to do at home that I never seem to get to do :tongue:

 

[CarlS]

Enjoy that ride, Rocky.

I am going to ride to Jacksonville on Sunday. A friend a fellow Patriot Guard Rider had a major heart attack and open heart surgery. And he is only 38. He developed heart trouble about ten years ago which ended his career in the USMC.

 

[DaveM]

Shame Carl wish him all the best from us :y18:

 

[CarlS]

Thanks, Dave.

Hope you are going to win it, what bike will you be riding

 

[CarlS]

I wish you the best of luck, Doug.

AJ, I will convey your sympathy to him.

 

[Doug]

Thanks guys,I'm using Triumph S.A.'s demo speedy. Only worry is that it's only done 1600km. I'll try to put a few more on and loosen it up a bit.
Won the cruiser class last year so I'm hoping for a repeat.

 

[CarlS]

Let us know, Doug. Cheering for you from here.

 

[DaveM]

Good luck win for us Speedy owners :y18:

 

[Doug]

Gave it a bit of a run this morning and seem to be getting the same sort of consumtion as last year,so far so good............

 

[DaveM]

Well that sounds good :y115:

 

[Gromit]

We hopped a plane down to the coast - Garden Route. FREEZING! 8 seasons in a day - howling winds, rain, sun, howling winds and so it went. But............................ watched the whales coming into harbour; only 2 whales though; season just starting. We were also really thrilled to have huge pods of dolphin go by about 50m off shore. Such magnificent creatures. :y114:

 

[DaveM]

Nothing like a weekend down by the sea :y18:

 

[CarlS]

That is a good sign. :y115:

 

[Gromit]

And another long weekend coming up in September - woohoo! Off to the bush - can't wait. Best time of year to go to the bush. Hope to get some perfect shots. Farside's itching to try out his new camera and lenses.......
