Hi Everyone

Made the journey after 7 hours, and I am now in Iona Station, and of course brought the british weather with me as it has not stopped raining since I arrived, well off and on. Been to Port Stanley, and will be popping back to the theatre sometime this week or next.

Will hit Niagra falls sometime Wednesday for a couple of nights, so hope to take some nice photos... The only thing I can say about Canada is it is HUGE compared to the UK...

Welcome to Canada...you're right...it's a huge country...but...where the heck is Iona Station?

Welcome the the other side of the pond Ray. Wish I could come up and have a beer with ya!

welcome to the REAL jewel in the crown! If you are planning to get out to B.C give me some notice and we can get together for a scoot. Enjoy the prairies!! You can see the Rockies from Manitoba.

Glad you got there ok.

Have a good time.

Glad you made it OK mate, eh.

Thanks for the PM, hope Margaret is feeling well soon, send her my best.

Ray, PM me and maybe we could get together for a pint. Are you still in Iona Station? You are only about an hour and a half North of me.

Hi Everyone and thanks for all the replies John (Wojo) PM'd you, BikerT arrange with John as Sunday is about the only day free. Niagra Falls and Maid of the Mist was fantastic. The camera has been very busy upto now. We head out to London (Saturday) for Inglis thanks to info supplied by Wojo and then head to Michigan, (sorry for the spelling it sounds right) to a German village? I havent got a clue what that is going to like. John I sent you the address in Iona Station a while ago, but Sunday is free and I owe you a beer if I have any dollars left after going to Inglis Cycles

Crap, darn, dang it all. Never got back into town until 4 on Sunday. Just missed you John. If you have any other days off Ray let me know. I am free in the evenings after work after Tues. or Weekends if you have any left. PM me. or call my cell 519-318-9046

Willy

Hi Willy(BikerT)

Apparently you are only about half hour away from me, We head over to the US first thing in the morning to Frankenmuth somewhere in Michigan and will be staying the night more than likely.

John thanks for turning up and it was a real pleasure meeting with you. I will be intouch via PM and we can arrange what we talked about...

Ray(UK) in Canada

Hi Everyone

Will upload some pics when I return on to a server with a link so you can all get bored.

And thanks very much for the warm welcome really appreciated, this country is Huge/Ginormous

Hey Willy (BikerT)

Very nice meeting you, and thanks for the bottle of beer, I suggest you organise something with John (Wojo) for a meet, as you two are very close by...

You also forgot the photo, if you PM me I will post it back you...


Ray(In Canada)but not for much longer

Ray it was great meeting you and I hope you come back someday to see more than than the 1% you got to see this time.

Willy sorry I missed you. You have my email and cell number, we'll have to get together soon.

Same to you Ray, It was a great time and full of laughs. Safe trip home and come again.

John, my weekends are always free [except for this one coming] so lets do something before the snow flys.

Willy

Great this is the only weekend I have free until the second one in October. Let's see if we can do something then.

I hate to say this but you could fit England in the state of Texas.......Angelis

Texas could fit into Ontario with plenty of room for Montana, and we're only the fourth largest province.

Yeah, but we have Alaska, and the only place larger than that is the Russian Tundra ........Angelis

Yeah it just squeeks by Quebec, so I'll give you that.

Hey Adey, your friend speaks highly and kindly of you. Ray's a great guy.

Ray, I am going to meet wojo this coming Sat.

Willy

Well unfortunately back in Blighty land. I really enjoyed meeting you guys and that made my holiday that much better. Canada is a lovely place and I would like to get back there sometime. Florida is looking good for 2008 though and if I can wangle it with the mrs a week back in Iona Station..

John(Wojo) kindly rode to meet me in Iona Station



Thanks John a real pleasure meeting you Apologies for the photo the wife took it

Thanks Willy for turning up a petty you and john did not manage to meet each other on the same day.


Thanks guys you made my holiday

Ray
You JUST KNOW what I'm thinking with the 'arm round the guy and hands on hips stance' ... don't you????

Is there anything you want to share with the group?

Hey and that one was the best photo, the other were very incriminating. I blame the Mrs she took them

No those are my private pics, I won't share.

And yes we have hair, some where in that darkness.

Willy

Thanks John for the great tour yesterday in Windsor. It was sure nice meeting you. Exchanging bikes, beer, supper.... List goes on and on. Have fun at the Rally. How about Port Dover??

Willy

Now come on guys, Port Dover is rubbing it in a little when I am back in the UK... Why was there not a Friday 13th when I was there . Might make it one of these days, we did visit Port Dover though, how in this world do they fit all those bikes in such a little place

Two more 'Slug Balancers'.......me too !!!!!

The ENTIRE town is taken over for that one day. It's crazy.

Willie, I'll have to let you know when it gets closer but it doesn't sound like a bad idea.
