There will be an RCMP ride on Thursday, September 1st at approx. 7pm. We'll meet at the entrance to Trinity Bellwoods Park, at the corner of Queen St. W. and Gore Vale. For those of you who aren't sure where that is, here's a map. Not sure yet where we'll go from there, but the weather's supposed to be nice, so the possibilities are endless! See you then!
So I got back at about 7 this morning. I had a great trip, lots of mopeding around Elkhart and hangin out with the Motion Left Folks. They've got a great shop, and you all would die if you saw their moped stash!
Leah was kind enough to lend me her gorgeous 1980 Testi for the time I was there, so I explored Elkhart on it. It's an amazing bike, and I was kinda sad to leave it there!
We went on a few great rides. The best one was the last night that I was there, but I didn't take any pictures of that one. This is from the other night when a few of us went geocaching in Elkhart.
Bryan rode this one, Geri's bike, that night, but he had to take it back to the warehouse 'cause it was acting up. When he rode it away it was blowing sparks outta the exhaust!
We also hung out in Detroit and Ann Arbour for a while, where I met some of Noivy Lef and the Guns. The whole thing was a blast!
I want to say thanks so much to Bryan, Leslie and CJ for putting me up all week, I had an amazing time.
I'm off on my adventures in the morning! Hope you all have a safe and happy week, and we'll have a hell of a ride when I get home! See you all next week!
Since I'm leaving town for my American moped mayhem next Tuesday or Wednesday and I'll be gone for a week, I though you guys might like a little ride this weekend? Perhaps Saturday afternoon? What do you all say?
Well, I finally brought my Norman home today, and although I haven't really cleaned it up yet, here's a couple better photos. I think it's a really neat bike. It feels so much larger than my others.
As you can see, my cat Oliver is very intruiged by this "new pet" in the house!
.........addition to my fleet! It's a 1960 Norman Nippy. I found out about these a while back, and thought they were the most wonderful little bikes. They just seem so, well so, so British. Everything about them. I never even dreamed I would find one in North America, but here we have it, my new Norman Nippy!
It has no engine, but I'm not worried about that. There are clubs in Britain who can supply parts. I'm keeping this one in the house! No rain on my Norman!! Can't wait to bring it home tomorrow and shine it up. I'll post a better picture then!
