So far, I'm still thinking Friday morning. Madly scrambling!

Laids · « **Reply #51 on:** June 07, 2011, 04:37:13 PM »

We will be going Friday as well but trailering. If anybody from the east end is riding and wants to drop some gear, I can take it out. I'm in the Brimley/ Eglinton area.

Anyone riding down from north of Toronto?

Boner · « **Reply #53 on:** June 07, 2011, 10:00:15 PM »

Yeah Dave and I will be heading down Friday starting from the south end of Lake Simcoe if you want to hook up with a couple of oldies on newer Triumphs you are welcome.

Guy's I'm still not to sure what's going on, but I will move heaven and earth to get there I'll know better in a little while and will try and let you know, I should know by middle of next week, may be we can get together and talk.

It's running!!!!!!! Looks like I should be able to ride into Paris. I'd be happy to ride from Toronto with someone. Or even meet up east of the city. Maybe we should throw our cell phone numbers up here. I'm thinking Friday morning to drive out. I'm in the Beaches in Toronto. (416)-809-5138. John.

Someone just emailed me that the Paris rally is this coming weekend...I was shocked as I had planned on going June 18... so I've just checked and the rally is "NOT" this weekend.

cookindaddy · « **Reply #57 on:** June 10, 2011, 06:29:54 AM »

+1 - I got that email also. Maybe 70cbk0 is planning to check it out a week early for us?

I am planning to be there. My son is coming also with a carload of 77/78 CB750 parts for the swap meet that I have left over (or in case I break down on the way

. We're back and forth about whether to go Friday night or Saturday morning and as I am a bit west from most of you, we will probably be a caravan of two going whenever we go. I'll see you all there I guess. I will try to have a cookindaddy sign at our "sale"

Big thanks to Boner for organizing this and for extending an invite. Lamentably it won't work for me this time, though.

You guys have fun and POST PICS!!!

Boner · « **Reply #59 on:** June 10, 2011, 06:52:43 AM »

Well it is the following weekend sorry

I am already partying for this weekend

Rally dates are the 17th 18th 19th

And I just mass mailed everyone to remind them.

nosepick · « **Reply #60 on:** June 10, 2011, 07:08:43 AM »

Thanks for the reminder!

might have to make the ride out. I've never been before.

RpBet · « **Reply #61 on:** June 10, 2011, 07:38:57 AM »

I have been trying my best to have my 750k8 ready for this date! Was up till midnight last night bodyfilling and epoxy priming my tank. Hope to get it all primed up this weekend and as mush base and clear as I can. Time is seriously running out for me. I hope to make it there, and meet some faces behind the keyboards.

Ryan.

Boner · « **Reply #63 on:** June 10, 2011, 10:08:58 AM »

Okay you Western Boys!
I need a route to the Paris rally from the south end of Lake Simcoe , must hit every twisty there is, bypass any major town or highway and never have any radar on it. Scenery is a plus especially BIKINI clad ladies trees & countryside are okay too.
Any suggestions are welcome as we only ever ride the N/E routes.

Bodi · « **Reply #64 on:** June 11, 2011, 11:26:40 AM »

small poster... hope to pull a real one off a wall somewhere.

Boner · « **Reply #65 on:** June 11, 2011, 12:18:09 PM »

Bodi Im sure you could secure one from the cvmg for a small cost

and will you be attending the rally on a sohc 4 ?

cptnCanada · « **Reply #66 on:** June 11, 2011, 01:19:34 PM »

Argh! my more than eager 750 will be sulking in the garage at home as I sulk while stuck at work.

Boner · « **Reply #67 on:** June 11, 2011, 02:17:53 PM »

Maybe next time Cptn, look at joining us at the Vintage races in August.
And still waiting for a western boy to suggest a route we can take down to Paris.
Dave and I will be leaving Friday mid morning from the South end of Lake Simcoe and would love to hook up with other riders on the way down, just post here and we can hook up.
Strawhouse if you want to join us we will set a meeting point, just let us know.
Finally

we will be riding Triumphs if that matters

saving the Honda's for the August meet.

DannyBhoy · « **Reply #68 on:** June 12, 2011, 05:13:42 AM »

Hello Lads. I will be driving in on Sat morning with my son. The bike is no where close to coming together. 3 in soccer and 5 hrs of lawn to cut every week leaves me no time.
Might Camp as well. Hope for good weather either way. Hope to see many from this site, Cheers for now.

70cbk0 · « **Reply #69 on:** June 12, 2011, 08:57:25 AM »

ok, bike is running pretty good, but I've got it at Ontario Cycle Salvage for their senior Honda specialist to tweak the timing/carbs. 8kms since the restore/rebuild, maybe I'm crazy to head out with it for a 2 hour ride, but I'm going for it! So, anybody who's been there before know how early would be good to get there? I know pre registration starts at 9, but I can't see getting there that early. I've got morning rush hour to deal with. If I left at 9:30ish, I'd miss most of the bad stuff, get there by noon. Is that a decent arrival time? Thanks, John.
I could meet anyone for the ride..........

Boner · « **Reply #70 on:** June 12, 2011, 10:02:03 AM »

Not sure whats the best time to arrive I havnt been there in ten years or so but we will be arriving sometime after lunch on Friday on the Triumphs

if anyone wants to ride down from the North just post here and we can see if we can hook up. John has kindly gave me a route to follow and he posted his cell # in a preivious post. If anyone has dificulties or gets lost

heres my cell 905 715 4248 Terry.

Laids · « **Reply #71 on:** June 12, 2011, 03:25:25 PM »

Mine is finally together and running

, with 4 days to spare. Did a shake down today for 10 miles. Everything seems okay other than the idle seems a bit off, but then again it always has been a bit off. The only leak is the crankcase oil drain bolt, so far, better there than where it was coming from before I guess.

70cbk0 · « **Reply #72 on:** June 12, 2011, 06:02:32 PM »

Hi guys, I'm now wondering if I might go on Saturday morning instead. Stay over Saturday night, apparently Friday is really a set up kinda day for campers and people with booths, or people selling parts. I was also told if you want to put your bike in the show, you have to leave it in till Sunday morning when they do the awards. so....maybe I'll go Saturday, leave Sunday at the end of it all.

buk_tony · « **Reply #73 on:** June 12, 2011, 06:55:17 PM »

+1 for Saturday..My wife and I are still planning to be there on Saturday morning. Let me know if anyone interested in riding up.

Tony

Prospect · « **Reply #74 on:** June 13, 2011, 07:31:03 AM »

I'll probably be there Sunday morning on my cb400f. Hopefully the weather is good. Still thinking of the best route from Toronto.

Hey cb750k0, since you had the bike apart I'd try and test the charging system before I'd go. It'll run great until the battery looses it's charge half way to Paris.
