Hey there Chris Thomas from Toronto.
How do you think the weather is in Toronto right now? Do you think your usual ride buddies are sweating their bags off in shorts and t-shirts?
More likely they’re hibernating under a pile of electric blankets. A big shout out to Dan at OnTop for hooking up Chris with the Brodie there. No one has their rental fleet up yet, and he came through. It’s actually his brothers bike, but what he doesn’t know…
Seymour again today. Chris is a rookie on the technical trails, although he didn’t show it. He got everything figured out pretty quick. We rode all over the mountain today. The usual Pangor ride, as well as TNT, and the venerable Severed Dick. If you are out on the Shore this week, you should make a rund down the Dick. It’s freakin’ awesome right now.
.
We also got off the beaten pah a bit and ran into Jaques and co. out doing a bit of maintenance. Those are wooden table tops, people. Enough of ’em to get some rhythm going even.
Chris figured out the skinnies by lap two.
Ran into an old friend, Claudia. Her first ride of the year. She still rips it up pretty good.
Hates getting her pic taken though. I had to surprise her to get this one of her riding across a swamp.
Chris getting an even skinnier one down.
And Barb of course. My old Sociology prof would say that this is a denigrating depiciton of childbirth, and demeaning to women.
Sociology is about as serious a science as Psychometrics** (**the measuring of crazy french people).
That looks pretty damn impressive to me.
Finished the day with beer at my buddy Darcy’s place. He scored this old thing a couple of years ago.
He’s leaving the cosmetic stuff till the last, but check out the rebuilt engine.
Thats the original 327 under the hood.
He also re -id the exhaust, getting the old external pipes re-installed.
It’s been too long since I had some pics of classic cars up. This is a good way to get back into it.
1967 Corvette roadster. He’s not giong to sell it, but if you want to go for a ride in it……
