I think I may suit up on Sunday/
I'm in Hamilton and could meet you just about anywhere for breakfast, coffee etc.
Let me know what works for you on Sunday.

today was supposed to be kinda nice: doesn't seem that way.
Tomorrow is supposed to me kinda nice: I think we'll have to wait and see.
If it's lookin good we can meet on route and carry on to milton area if that is convenient for all, or somewhere else that bridges caledon, hamilton, toronto, brantford.
let me know what works for you.

Joel:
"Tipsy" is still in mothballs. Too much salt ont the roads for my liking. Was hoping for more rain over Southern Ontario in order to get the accumulated coating of sand, grit and salt off the road.
Maybe next week assuming the Weather Gods will be smiling on us.

My suspicion about the weather seems to be holding.
Doesn't look promising for me at this time.
You may have a point about the salt, kind of like sand, no? or is it that you don't want the finish on the bike to get marred?
Eitehr way I can appreciate it.
Still counting on the weather to turn decisvely for the better as I'm going to Birmingham on April 9th to see the Barber Motorcycle museum. There is usually a 40degree or so difference between Erie PA and KNoxville area. Going south it feels great coming back north it feels horrible, but usually the snow is gone.
I'm sure over the next couple of weeks it will warm up!

I was out for 3 hours today, main roads and hyways were dry and salt/sand free. It was a beautiful day, no clouds and sunny. Sorry I didn't check this thread before I left, I was busy working on the tractor this morning. Is anyone going to the bike show in a couple weeks at the Intrernational Center? Maybe we could meet somewhere. I think I'll ride the bike if it is anything but icy (I have riden my LT thru snow banks before). I'll also tow my trailer behind the bike. It is suppose to be up to 13c this week, Good for riding.

Garry, I was out today but only for a few minutes. Did about 10 miles but at least was out there. And i must say that it felt great to back on the bike!
We must meet up some time this season - what is the deal with the show?

Sorry Gary, just made it out a couple of blocks. We still have a large amount of snow on the roads.

It seemed like it might have been a good day but by the time I decided that the day was almost over. My rarely present wimp factor got the better of me.
