S&S, Humane Society and an Island

Yesterday we started out on a ride through Trenton to Celtic Blood Motorcycle repair. We went there to support the humane society for which Celtic Blood was holding a benefit BBQ,

After the BBQ we headed to Wellington for icecream to take the edge off of a hot day. Following the icecream stop some of us decided to ride to Kingston to tour Wolf Island. On our way there we found out that Florida drivers aren't as curtious as us Canuks, being cut off to the point where he drove his SUV between our 1st bike and 2nd bike of a 3 bike tour - while making a turn at a traffic light! When we recomposed our selves we headed for the ferry. At the ferry we met a couple of friends and crossed to the island. It was a georgeous ride on a georgeous day with good friends. The wind mills were an interesting site this close. On the way back we stopped at a patio pub for some grub (I was hungry) before we boarded the ferry back to Kingston. The haul back to Trenton in the dark was uneventful but enjoyable. What a great day!

Classy Chassis

Today a bunch of us headed out to Classy Chassis in Lakefield. It was a great ride, lead by Postie, we headed down every back road imaginable. The event went off with only a few minor glitches which will hopefully be overlooked as OOPSIE. Other than that the day was sunny but not too hot, we were riding our various makes of bikes and we were surrounded by friends - life is good when it all comes together. Some members of our group didn't show, we know you had reasons, but you were missed - too all that did show, thanks for making my day a bright one.



p.s. Thanks for sending me some pics Sly

Your job is done, thankyou.
