i know that there aren't many canadians on this site, but i was wondering how far across the border the word travels. there is ALWAYS a bike rally at port dover on FRIDAY THE 13TH. no matter if it's december or january or what. we were lucky this year it was in april and july. i wasn't foolish enough to go in april (my cousin went and got snowed on lol) but i did go in july. it was said that there were 150 000 bikes and upward of 500 000 people. i'll tell ya this little town turns into quite a hot spot once or twice a year. this first pic is 2 towns away from port dover just trying to get there. bikes as far as the eye could see. it's mostly a V twin crowd but as long as ur on two wheels they'll let ya in town. no cars allowed. oh i almost forgot, at the time my bike was less than a month old so i was PISSED that we got soaked on the way there, had to take a detour because of construction on a freakin gravel road...my bike was COVERED in mud. so we hit a car wash on the way and then it was ALL GOOD!

looks like fun but I think we need to put EMS behind the camera to get some more worthy pics

 

yeah, pretty boring pics, we only saw one set of boobies that day. we shoulda stayed the night and got all hammered and BAM out come the boobies, but who wants to see "biker chick" boobies anyway lol. there was also like 3 RIDE programs you hit on the way outta town. i TOTALLY wanted to wheelie the main stretch of road and boy am i glad i didn't now .there was a few sport bikes there, i was the only 07 kawi of any sort. i did see a green 636, anyone we know??

 

nice avatar btw, nice to see people geared up.

 

i live by this little saying i made up, i'd rather be sweaty than bloody. i get that all the time..."aren't you hot in that stuff?" yep, but it's better to be prepared for the worst. AGATT, All The Gear All The Time. and Notstock, thanks for noticing

 

Yea I agree, I have been hit twice on the freeway at above 50 and both times was ableto walk away. Right to the hospital and sore as f- but it would have been an ambulace ride and lots of skin graphs if not for the gear.

Gear up, arrive alive and with your skin

 

woohoo i love gear i honestly think its cool
people that dont wear helments i dont get. safety aside. ive seen the front of my helmet after a ride all those bugs and stuff id much rather have that on my helmet then on my face.

 

ME!

Sounds like a good run. I cancelled my road trips for this year. Anecortes is a good run though, may be too far from you.

 

looks like a booger eater ralley.

 

haha, prolly cause you are used to seeing that in CA!
