I distinctly remember a very chilly ride home from the Manitoulin in September. I'll be sure to bring warm clothes.

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird.
Now the world is Weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Oh, now there's two very doable rides for me to choose from! Or, just do both, lol!
"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious." - Albert Einstein
"He that is good with a hammer tends to think everything is a nail" - Abraham Maslow
"If you can't take the time to do it right the first time, how are you ever going to find the time to do it over?" -Unknown
Current Rides:
'Grumpy' - '81 Standard, now fully dressed.
'Layla' - '81 Standard w/dealer installed fairing and Hondaline bags.
'Scarlett' '76 'Survivor' nekkid as a j-bird!
Under Construction:
The 'Jalopy' '78-'79 Mash-up
'Quikie' '81 gl1100I back on the lift, project with the step-son!
In The Shed:
'81 gl1100I barn find aka "Josie, the farmer's daughter." (almost comatose build)
'77 gl1000, roller parts bike.
'82 gl1100I, 'Old Crusty' titled roller parts bike (free!)
'82 gl1100I, My first 'Wing, and an expensive lesson!

Three amazing Grandsons and a beautiful granddaughter, four great kids, two crazy cats, a husband who is fun to have around and two great motorcycles, one is an 1200 Interstate currently apart being painted and a Harley. (hey, I believe in riding, and everyone should ride what they love. And I happen to have MBS)

Re: NEW NEWS .... 2017 NGW Canadian Ride Shaping Up .... 1000 Islands in September
As a 25 year resident of the 1000 Islands - although I no longer own a GW at the moment - and at Rat's invitation - I am pleased to be able to help out on this ride any way I can. Lots to see and do around here and many fun roads and routes.
To start, if you plan to go State-side at all - or participate in the Gananoque three hour boat cruise and visit Boldt Castle - you will need a valid passport or, if you area Ontario resident, an enhanced driver's license.
If anyone has any questions about the area feel free to send me a message. I will also check back on this board every once in awhile and add comments.
Generally for ride support I have access to a trailer and I have a three car garage that is only used for bikes and snow blowers.
Cheers

Re: NEW NEWS .... 2017 NGW Canadian Ride Shaping Up .... 1000 Islands in September
The sidecar bike is totally rebuilt and painted, so hopefully I won't break down at the border this time. Now I just have to figure out if we can get the time off.

Well kids, it is now ON! We have lots of work to do. Planning where to stay, where to eat and designing a T-shirt. Mark, thank you for your offer of help. I'm sure we will have many questions for you, so watch your message inbox! Claude, as Gord said, we are a lot further south this time, but we can't guarantee the weather, so pack accordingly (LOL!). It will be great to see all of our NGW friends again, so mark your calendars, get your time off and get ready to ride!
See you in September (or June if you are coming to Paris!) .....
