The Quest for Fire Ride!!
Well, the 1st official RCMP ride of the season is over! Named the Quest for Fire ride, it was awesome. We had a great turnout, a few regulars were missing but we had a lot of new faces and a lot of fun. A few minor (?!) setbacks as always, but all in all a great day.
We started off at Squirly's as always; here's the infamous David Coates in his uber-suave pose.
Great turnout!
Then, the problems started!!
Ahh, there's the problem!
So, what's the solution?
Fire in the middle of High Park is the solution!!
So we stole a little fire from a family and scared them off.
Then we wait.
Julie's orange Motobecane.
My new love, David's Grande.
After a little fire dance, all the crap seemed burned out of Ilya's pipe.
A picnic table served as a nice workbench.
And then we rode a bit more and went home. Poor Ilya's bike messed up again on the way home, so we reconvened at my house and then we all went on our merry way.
WRENCH DAY NEXT SUNDAY!!!

Ya it was a lot of fun. 10 mopeds riding together is much more fun that all alone. This was my first group ride and I had a great time. It was great to meet everyone and put faces to the names. Looking forward to more rides this summer. Just need to find some more speed from my orange PC50

That, just about, sums it up.
What's up Toronto, Wuz up.
Moped mania is in the air,
Gotta be radical, gotta play fair,
Gotta use little, gotta take care.

It was definitely an adventure that's for sure. It was nice to meet and ride with you all again, specially with the new fellow riders, Julie, Ilya, Darcy, Paul, some names escape my memory, sorry. God willing, I can ride again in to weeks time, rain or shine.
Nice pics Lindsay!
Nice

hehehe..."Quest for Fire".
As a newbie to the RCMP I would just like to send out a BIG Thank You to all the regulars who made us feel so welcome.
I have to say that this was the most fun I've had on my ped since I bought it last Aug.
BTW if anyone has a wheel balancer could you please bring it to the wrenching on Sunday?
So Thanks again and take care everyone! D.

What a great day. If the weather is good, I think a BBQ would be a great idea. What does everyone else think?

How do I find out about the next ride, check here or is there a broadcast email? If someone could give coordinates for the meeting point it would be great. I spent Sunday tooling around on my own. I would have hooked up if I knew
cheers, Jan

I checked out The Personal online. Looks to be a group insurance company. For employees of companies or places covered under group policies.

thanks for the info on how to get updated on the group. I'll check on Fridays.
I may drop in on the wrench day just to say hi, I'm going to ride. Fortunately for me my Arrow is running well so I'm leaving it as is. Yay.
