Yes, I'm right in Uxbridge near the old train station. And Bob is just 15-20 minutes north east. Hope to meet you soon, Reid.

This evening I met Reid and his lovely wife Mary. I couldn't stay long because of a family responsibility, but it was worth the trip to put faces to names on this forum. Unfortunately Bob was not there while I was.

I'm afraid that I've had to temporarily (I hope) relinquish my iPhone to my son. It's the only digital camera that I bother with. I'm an old school B+W film guy.

Ok all you SOHC guys near Toronto, RIDE FOR THE MORAINE, in Zephyr, near Uxbridge, Sunday July 7th, in the park, register at 9am and ride on the moraine at $15.00 per bike.  BBQ for $10.00 after the ride  on the moraine at 1pm.  We had a great turn out last year but most were Harley's, lets bet them you guys, see you there, COME ON OUT SOHC GUYS.  Reid.

All you SOHC guys , Thursday 25th July, Uxbridge old car club meet at the Arena, Frank you could walk there, instead of Hagens, meeting up with the Canadian Motorcyle Cruisers and old car night. Reid

Reid, if you are going, are you driving or riding?

BTW Haugens has a Cruise night for cars similar to the Uxbridge one that you mention, every Wednesday night.  The Uxbridge Cruise has been getting more popular and is held every Thursday.

I'll be there (here) in Uxbridge this Thursday.
Bob, you have a choice of bringing your British sports car or a bike.

Too bad, still hoping to meet up with you guys this year at Haugens, Uxbridge or Famous Sams?  I do have the Mosport VRRA festival  Saturday "INKED" in on my calendar come hell or very high water.  I'm considering going to Big Red's Gymkahna thing this Sunday at Honda HQ in Markham.

Here's a picture for you Bruce.  The bikes were parked outside of all the cars, behind my camera.  I think that other make of bike in the picture belongs to Jennifer.  Frank walked  :( and I drove the Healey. :)  It is after all an auto cruise-in.

Almost forgot to mention...I hope to be at Honda's big event this Sunday - if I'm not teaching this weekend.  (So far not enough students.)  Reid mentioned that he and Mary are planning to go, and Maybe Frank will as well.

Thanks Bob, for giving me a fix.  Very nice 650 Custom, think I have the same oil leak from the shifter seal ;)  Hope we can meet up Sunday then!

Just found out I have the weekend off from teaching! :)  So unless the weather is terrible, I'm planning to head over to that Honda event on Sunday.  Hope to meet you guys.

For those interested in what this event is about (maybe some more locals will join us), here's their web link: http://motorcycle.honda.ca/rockthered

Thanks for posting the pic Bob. You rode the CB right after me so I didn't get to hear your impressions of it.  Care to share?
