hello old friends....

Here's what I've been up to the last few months!

Ha!
 

I feel better already!

Lets keep this alive!

Judging by the size of that chair your snowmobile must be huge!!

By the way.... anyone planning to ride TLH this year?

I'm definitely game to ride!!!

??
 

Tlh??

That explains why I haven't seen you....none of those pictures has a motorcycle in it :mchappy:

Trans Labrador?....that may be a plan but I would want to include Nfld...never been there yet.

FYI... I've just taken payment for my bike.

She's officially sold.



.....now, the slow and steady search begins for a set of replacement(s):


2009 KTM 690R Enduro
2007-2009 KTM 950SE (maybe)
2007-2009 KTM Adventure 990 (maybe)

OR

KTM 450 EXCW / 530 / 525 / (must be blue plated)
+
BMW r1150r or Rockster
Suzuki V-Strom 650/1000
Honda VFR800 (with full luggage set-up)
Harley Davidson Electra-Glide.... :mchappy:

Mike... NFLD is a definite MUST if we're doing the TLH - makes for a great loop.

1.5 weeks should be enough time - no!?

mentioned this before......

Arent you hesitant about the FI versions of the LC8's?? Peter has spent a ton of dough getting his smoothed out but has maintained that he'd take a carbed model over his any day....

I've yet to ride the 990... is it really that herky jerky?

Hey you freakin leg humpers, good to see the name Uber-Moto without the hate mail.

Haha, sold it before it granaded eh! Good choice, and if my opinion means anything the 450/something else combo is a weiner.

Duber for president:thumbup:
drcool

By the way... here are a few picks from my trip to Pennsylvania last fall.

~1000km's in 24hrs.

You should call Peter on this one... I am going flying all weekend with him this weekend..... It'll give us lots o time to discuss it while I get all pissed up in the back seat! You gonna be anywhere on the sled this weekend? We will be on skis and can put er down just about anywhere on a lake eh!

That's probably doable although 2 weeks would be better.

3 weeks if you're on a 450!

Maybe early August?

I'll be skiing at Alpine this Saturday (next to Blue Mountain). Back in London for some sledding on Sunday (near St. Thomas).

Ron,
Having finally pulled the trigger on selling my bike - it's tempting to get a new version of it (I really love the KTM Adventure). But, the ability to replace it with two bikes (covering the full dirt and touring spectrum) was and is the final goal here. So, I'll make it a priority to focus my efforts on finding two worthy replacements. The 990 might be on the radar again in 5 years time - maybe they'll have it ironed out by then.

In fact, maybe KTM will have a 690 Adventure by then.

August sounds good. Let's circle back later this year.
Also, I plan to have a decent touring bike by that time - so the pace will not be a problem.



When are we meeting up for some food...... I'm HUNGRY!!!!!!


http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/q...heezburger.jpg

Wow...you're on a roll Uber. 25 posts and you're not banned yet :thumbup:

Now's the time to look for a new steed...prices always jump when the snow melts and don't forget about that silly HST, whenever that kicks in. It'll affect you if you're buying private.

Ohhh, just thinking. Maybe its best you give the cash you get for your bike to one of us for safe keeping or it could end up being spent on a ring :nono:

FS: 2001 Triumph Tiger - Huntsville, AL - ADVrider

can you access this post?

HAHAHAHAHA :biggrin: beat me to it, doctor!!

An absolute must!!!!!

I think we should do a multi stop next tuesday....Paramount then a friendly takeover of chateau King Cool!

Count me in!

... might want to drag him along.

outch dragging me would hurt!

and you are not banned yet?!!! what gives?

IN!!! but regretfully wont be able to make it to chateau KC!

what time?

RallyRaid Ontario 2010 details/ideas:

-NAVIGATIONAL RALLY-

The route will be made up of a series of waypoints. At each waypoint there's a marker with a code. Each rider must locate the marker and write down the code (yes, with a pen and paper).

The waypoints will be in order, following them will reveal the route. The challenge is to spot all the markers. Thus, it's not a race. The winner will be he/she who spots all the markers. The emphasis is on precision and accuracy, not speed.

To prevent tie's, some markers will be placed amongst difficult terrain. Hence, not everyone will find them - thus, an alternate route around that area will be used as an option-out route. Also, there will be a time limit. Say, 6pm. So, people will have to strike a balance between finding as many markers as possible and making it back on time. As such, the route will be a loop. If a waypoint is missed, all is not lost - the next waypoint will keep you on track.

As for the event itself, a campground will act as the staging area (the location is yet to be determined). To take part in the event will be free; camping and food will be separate.

7pm would be the earliest I can make it.

...which, after our meal, doesn't really leave much time to make it down to Dave's for a beer. :crying:

Is it true is he really hear?:ban: :wave::tt2:

Hello everyone, Wow the smilies on this forum are way better then ADV:tank::wave::arabia:
Well except for this pirate inspired one.:taz:

What's shakin slackers :clap:

I can barely keep up with one forum, how do you expect me to keep up with two:tongue_smilie:

On the topic of a meal.....we were talking the other night and thought it would be cool to find a korean BBQ to go to before the snow melts. I'm up for paramount too :thumbup1:

So Buber.....how does it feel???

Nice to see you with us again.

Good to shoot the shit again with you guys.

Ian, Korean BBQ is a fav of mine - you name the time and place!!!

[EDIT]
How'bout we meet up for Paramount on Monday - Jan. 18th - 7pm -

(Is Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday better???)

hmmmm..... wasn't me dude... I think it was either you or kahoon... Makes no nevermind to me.... We could bbq koreans if you want

....any of you gents heading to the show tomorrow night??

Likely I'll miss it this year (again).




Look's like Saturday night's ADV meet/feast is a hate parade!

Fred????


Whoo bee dat?

hate parade??

Motorcycle show sat???

=stupid drivel

Shane and I aren't interested in drivel but will likely be attending the show late Saturday afternoon. Hoping to test fit him on some orange beasties and have a walkabout. After 5 or 6 hours of flooring I get a little hunched over.

Stand up straight
drcool

Hey Doc,

If you see any KTM 690's or other suitable replacements... call my cell!!!!



So guys, any chance we're meeting up soon? Paramount or otherwise?

Hey Red,
How's the snootie fox enjoying the winter months?

Almost feels like spring today, wish I could go ride something other than this office chair. I'm so tempted to ride tomorrow I am having trouble concentrating.

Wow!
 

Did you use bleach to get it that clean and remove all of the brown stains??

Anal Bleaching Techniques

Several times I nearly crashed into the car ahead of me while riding with Kahoon.... god'dam bike was so clean I couldn't stop staring!!!!!


In other news:

If you haven’t heard the news yet. It’s true, the Dakar is moving back to Africa in 2011
Bummer… I was really enjoying the extreme terrain Chile and Argentina had to offer.

I think the ASO prefers Africa for the primary reason that it’s cheaper for them…. as it’s just a hop across from Spain.

ewber cool!
 

Caught a pic of uber on his new steed ....wheelin' and stylin'!

When did you change your brake discs? :thumbup1:

Hey DrCool
The snootie fox has been hibernating to survive the cold winter months and will be taking off to El Salvador on the 25th to increase my vitamin D intake.

As for treating riding withdrawal syndrome I sit on my bike in the garage close my eyes and play Dust to Glory on the laptop. :mchappy: (I keep forgettting to give back Mike's copy he lent me:wink3:)

Hey.... so we'll see you all on Wednesday night - Korean BBQ!!!!!!

Attendance is sounding quite large.... like 20 plus! Have you made arrangements with the restaurant?

Cheers!
Ron

Maggie and I will be in attendance for another new to us culinary experience. Does anyone need a ride in from the west? If so let us know, the rocket will leave around 6.

Bring on the Barbequed Korean and Beers,
drcool

We have a reservation for 25people, under the name Ontario Adventure Riders.

Cost me some $ to make the reservation.... so let's make sure we have at least 15 people - or else I loose my deposit. ;)

......this year's Lobodzinski family Ski vacation

SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DIRT CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap:

Hell, that'll buff right out. The front hoop looks better than the one you just sold.

You should see if Patrick Trahan wants to sell you his Honda 450. A few spare parts and you'd be all set.

Thumpers are tiring
drcool


mmmmmbbq

I'm pretty sure he want's to keep the bike. From what I've read on-line.

Eye's and ears are open though... I'm looking high and low for a formidable replacement.


...see you tonight.

hey the seat hight is perfect for you on that one :smartass:

...that's why Yoda is my avatar!!!!

I think the ability to touch the ground with both feet is vastly overrated....but then again, I do tip over a lot :w00t:

I thought you shaved your head..who knew?

Those ears must be a bitch in a helmet
drcool

just made the association...:Dtoo funny!!

Hey... it was really good seeing you all last night.

Looking forward to the next one.

Buuuurrrrpp. I'm still stuffed! Great choice Michael. Good seeing everyone again!

SATURDAY NIGHT cabin FEVER details coming soon!

.....holy sodium fest - on my fourth bottle of water this morning!!!! :boat:

Looking forward to SNCF!!!

Uber, now you know when you eat meat it tends to leave a salty taste in your mouth. Maybe you should stick to vegetarian places to eat out.:wink3:

Next stop on the tour.... Come one come all to Casa cool on Tuesday.

The Cuban's are ready for smokin and the Rhum's ready for drinkin. The shop is going full smoking zone for the evening so be sure to wear the red velvet smoking jackets.

Bring yer own wheelchair, dd or taxi ride home.

Livers to the wind
drcool

You can even smoke that old camel dung :9898:, although I hear goat lights a little easier.

Wow, great pic dude.....:thumbup1:

That must have been a nice sturdy red you enjoyed:D

Nice one Ron!

...I'm heading up to Tremblant twice in the next three weekends.



Maybe I should buy a jet?

Your glass is always half full Ron....except that one. It looks like it needs a refill!

Check with Porter! something like $100 per trip..... Nice!

you didnt think Id risk even a partial glass sitting on a slab of ice did you??

strange....
 

I picked up my boss there last thursday and he paid less than $130 for his one way flight..... Not sure how he got that price....

Weekday prices are cheaper.
Also, that quote is based on two people.


As it turns out, four people (and my sled) are coming. Flying there is no longer an option.

That's quite the view there skippy. How's your form in the hill or was it all about the patio?

Ladies and Gentlemen take my advice, pull down yer pants and slide on the ice:cool4:
drcool

Makes sence for a one way single. They just filled a seat that otherwise would have been empty. Likely even cheaper if they had standby.

right place, right time
drcool

Rabbie Burns day

Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it;
But we hae meat, and we can eat,
Sae let the Lord be thankit.
