But do they fall down?   ;D
If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

Hey all Vision owners headed north this weekend!  ;D

Change in plans for Saturday morning meeting place.  We are meeting at Cdn-Lou's in Mississauga at 9AM for a great pancake breakfast with lots of fixin's.  Real Canadian maple syrup, sizzling bacon, gourmet coffee and my own special pancake recipe.

Please note we will not be meeting at 9:30AM at the Tim Horton's on Trafalgar and the 401.

We are not far from the Trafalgar site:  Coming East from Windsor (on the 401) or west from Toronto, you exit Mississauga Road (turn right at ramp light).  So if you coming west from Toronto you exit Mississauga Road and turn left onto it.  Everyone goes south on Erin Mills to Millcreek Drive and turn right on Millcreek.  Next light turn left on Aquitaine Avenue, next light turn right on Montevideo and .25km to 2491 Trondheim Crescent (on the right).

I am very close to the 401 so this is a quick off and you are at my place in about 5 minutes.

See you soon!

Lots of sun, guaranteed!   ;D

you know it must have been a good ride when you get too caught up in the ride to take time for pictures... hopefully there will be more coming.... if not... too bad, you should have come and took your own  :D

of course the MC goes first....... (master of ceremonies)

here's most of the V's at revelry... all filled up and raring to go (filled with delicious food that is) That's Barrie's Goldwing on the right end that he bought original in '76 and has had it for 31 years... Canadian Lou's V is still asleep in the garage, and we haven't met up with Wolf yet
