<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Wow...Great weather for a November. Ten bikes and fourteen people showed at the Timmies in Woodbridge </b></span><b style="font-size: large;">for what most likely will be the last ride of the season. </b><br />
<b style="font-size: large;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-size: large;">It was an eclectic mix of bucolic backroads including </b><b style="font-size: large;">a tour of Palgrave country estates all ridden with a gorgeous fall backdrop and balmy temps. In fact, according </b><b><span style="font-size: medium;">to Paul we broke a 74 year record for warmest day!!</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></b><br />

A plump juicy hot dog with a squirt of mustard sprinkled with onions and smothered with their famous sauce. The staff are most hospitable fast and efficient. This place has loads of character.

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After a quick huddle, Saturday evening, a daunting decision was made to ride out to Deal's Gap the following morning. </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lynn and Donna booked reservations - via Expedia.com - Holiday Express in Elkins WV followed by an overnight stay at the Hampton Inn Boone NC and then 3 nights at the MicroTel Inn, Bryson City NC</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The plan was to travel all the way down Rte219...and then eventually slide onto Bryson City via the Blue Ridge Parkway - America's favourite drive.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When we arrived at the Holiday Inn Express, the hotel was booked solid. Initially, we couldn't understand why. Didn't realize West Virginia had been devastated by a huge massive storm on Friday and there were major power outages throughout the whole state. With air conditioners not working in certain counties, the locals took refuge from the oppressive and unrelenting heat wave inside the hotel. Elkins had power.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiTtrGzKBN5tywW2KzULkrpu6_GVfiQhXGsjURDh38xLAlQY9xN9ByEuKQfb-zP25JMgle9Ezlv-cFVIn2B3GYk9iE6xquPK_HLVcpEwYHr8Ku4K-Tqp7Ix-TOv60BfgcFuVnnFrgpUhaY/s1600/Tail_of_the_Dragon_2012+014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiTtrGzKBN5tywW2KzULkrpu6_GVfiQhXGsjURDh38xLAlQY9xN9ByEuKQfb-zP25JMgle9Ezlv-cFVIn2B3GYk9iE6xquPK_HLVcpEwYHr8Ku4K-Tqp7Ix-TOv60BfgcFuVnnFrgpUhaY/s320/Tail_of_the_Dragon_2012+014.jpg" tea="true" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Next morning, Monday, we heard West Virginia was in a state of emergency...Yikes! As we headed down Rte219 we noticed many big trees were blown over and massive devastation. A couple of hours later, pulled into a gas station to fuel but only had to pull back out. Sign on the pumps said "NO GAS!" Station hasn't had power for 3 days. Uh...Oh! </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As we approached the edge of town the traffic lights were out - no power - but further we could see cars lined up at a gas station. As I paid for my gas purchase I overheard one of the cashiers say they will be out of gas soon. Holy Moly! Made it just in time!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As we cruised down 219 we witnessed more devastation. In some towns the National Reserve Guard - positioned right in the centre of main street - were handing out water ice and provisions to the locals from huge trucks.</span></div>

<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Around noon we veered off the parkway to get some gas. At the end of the ramp a sign said, to the left "Brevard 18 miles" to the right "Waynesville 22 miles". Over the CB radio Lynn directed me to turn left towards the town of Brevard.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Well, descending down from the ridge this was one heck of challenging road - Hwy276 - with dips and turns. Stayed in second gear powerband all the way down the mountain. Holy Moly!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When I arrived, approx 12pm, in the parking lot was a Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) from Halton Region and an Oakville by-law enforcement agent carrying a decibel meter which looked like a microphone.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After an hour, of witnessing many bikes either passing or failing the voluntary test. I decided to leave when a dark sinister rain cloud appeared to the west.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The majority of bikes, mainly cruisers, surprisingly passed the casual voluntary test.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The test consisted of a decibel meter placed 50cm at a 45degree angle from the tip of the exhaust.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Some bikes became compliant when the rider turned down the idle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Turned out to be a very interesting and entertaining afternoon listening to every rant, squawk, debate and give their 2 cents worth on the new by-law and loud pipes.</span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Next date for the voluntary testing is set for Sunday June 24, 2012 at the Town Hall</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yes...officially the 2012 motorcycle season began last
weekend with the first Humber basic weekend course</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This weekend, again, a full complement...eighty
students</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A chilly 2*C Saturday morning turned out to be a very
pleasant afternoon...an abundance of blue sky</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After a balmy Easter Sunday morning, dark sinister
clouds to the north started to roll in accompanied by gusty
winds...arrrgh!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b>I believe, Belfountain was first in Ontario to introduce noise restrictions on motorcycles.</b></span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On Monday December 19, 2011 Town Council of Oakville voted to approve a bylaw seeking to muffle excessive motorcycle noise. Under the bylaw, a motorcycle cannot operate in Oakville if it exceeds sound beyond the threshold of 92dba while the motorcycle is idling and also if its driven and the noise level exceeds 96dba at 2,000 RPM.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This bylaw will come into effect July 1st, 2012.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Apparently, a call for the bylaw was initiated by residents near Tim Horton's at 49 Lakeshore Rd West where a group of motorcycles gather on a regular basis in the summer.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Individuals convicted of violating the Town's bylaw could face a minimum fine of $400 and a maximum fine of $25,000 for the first offence and the maximum fine for a subsequent offence is $50,000. <em>OUCH!</em></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Let's be careful out there!</span><br />

Morning was rainy, around noon in Waterdown (top of Niagara Escarpment) was fog but decided to get some short ride in. Destination?Nowhere!</div>
<div>
I take Snake Rd then ride through Crooks Hollow Conservation Area then take Weirs Ln to Dundas Valley Conser.Area, (lots of curves), Ancaster traffic was not 2 bad. Beautiful and sunny weather, so I go to through Six Nation Indian Reserve and finally arrive at Wind Mill Restaurant in Mt Pleasant. Take a quick stop to relax my butt :).</div>

<div>
My wife is calling, "Honey when you be at home? I have red borsch, fresh warm pierogies, (<span class="hps">dumplings)...</span>hmmm I'm hungry now but weather is so beautiful, warm and sunny to head back right away.</div>
<div>
From Mt.Pleasant to Port Dover is only 40kms, the pierogies can wait.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
My final destination Tim Hortons in Port Dover. After a quick coffee I head back to home. As I crossed the Grand River, near Caledonia, the weather <span class="hps">dramatically changed. Cold, fog with almost zero visibility. After 6 hr riding I arrived home:)</span></div>

<div>
Monday November 7th.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
Nice enough for another quick ride today.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
Headed out at 10:30 going west. Rode Snake road, and towards Sydenham Road into Dundas. A quick stop at the overlook on Sydenham and there were two long skate boarders getting ready to go down the hill into Dundas....<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
"How fast do you guys go on those things?" <br />
<br />
"Oh ... on this hill up to 90 kph." <br />
<br />
The guys had jeans and t-shirts and helmets. They wait for traffic to clear and off they go. I think they were nuts. I enjoy the scenery for awhile then I’m off down the hill into Dundas myself and here come the guys walking back up the hill to do it again. <br />
<br />
Oh to be young and invincible again.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
Rode Mineral Springs and Sulphur Springs Road and stopped for a coffee at Tim’s on Wilson Street East in Ancaster. Had one of the new coffees with the whipped cream and drizzle on top, all for a buck. Very good. If you’ve not had one yet, they are worth every penny.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Then headed back the way from which I came pulling into the driveway at 2:00 and another 150 K for the season under my belt.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
I hope there are more great fall days to come.</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When Lynn and I arrived at Zet's, Dan and Dave Hes had already sequestered a sitting area.</span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Low and behold Dan & Loretta from Palgrave appeared with the kids</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">On the way to Angus, Don Stoodley and Heather dropped in to have breakfast</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Mark Taylor rode in on his BMW to have a cup of coffee</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Mort rode in on his Kawi looking for Fred on his 2 wheeler</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Right behind Mort, Daniela on her Honda and Sam on his HD pulled in and parked next to him</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Donna Waters showed up wondering whether the temps will actually rise more than 6*C</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Andy and Christine arrived sans bike</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Finally, Fred and Kim arrived in their 4 wheeler</span></li>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As the morning slipped by the </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">temps rose</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When Mark pulled away at noon, his BMW thermometer registered a balmy 18.5*</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Upon hearing the temps, Lynn and Donna decided the warm temps warranted a quick afternoon ride</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So, our departure of 1pm was slightly delayed due to Donna's dead HD battery</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Woke up early this morning to a temp of 2*C...Yikes!</span></div>
<div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After a brief livery, at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney_Danson">Barney Danson's </a> funeral, the temps rose dramatically</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">By the time I got home, around noon, it was 14*C and Lynn was out taking a walk. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As I was changing my clothes she returned with an exclamation, <em><strong>"Boy is it warm out there, let's ride!"</strong></em></span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I rolled out the bikes from the garage and Lynn was all suited up ready to roll. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We meandered towards Ancaster...picked up the <em>"Linc"</em> and boogied over to Winona for a hot apple cider drink. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Before pulling into Timmy's had to ride up the escarpment and have a boo at the lake from Ridge Rd</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Afterwards, leisurely cruised along Lake Shore Rd home. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Before sliding the bikes into the stable, topped off the gas tanks and injected some <em>"Sta-Bil"</em> fuel stabilizer...sigh!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">With this warm weather, lots of bikes out doing the <em>"Wave"</em> and probably getting in their last kick at the can...</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><em>...and how was your Sunday?</em></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: medium;">and noted plenty of bikes taking advantage of the sunshine and temps in the teens. Took a picture</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">of this Harley dude with what appears to be a little silver bell just below the exhaust. Now can someone tell me the</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: medium;">purpose of this trinket?? An early Christmas decoration? or maybe an early warning system if he leans the </span><span style="font-size: medium;">bike too far??</span></div>
