    Some one with a Scala - day trips up to 600k

    Not looking at slab or highway - prefer to poke about on the back roads.....
    I'm Mississauga based and can play hooky
    Sundays early good - some Sat - maybe one day a week.....

    Want to get some ride time in so duration more important than distance.

    I can play hookie from the restaurant, during the week. Weekends are too busy. I just got a scala for my lid. Plus my wife and kids are gone to South America on Saturday for 34 days!

    Cool - glad to hear from you .....and you're not far. Any particular areas you'd like to hit?. I'm game for suggestions.

    from 2.30 to dark is good for me or if it's warm enough 6 am to 11

    can take a full day on occasion for a longer jaunt

    Leisurely ride to Forks - the across north of Guelph - very weird - RIDE stop on a very rural road just outside of Fergus....

    Not sure what they about....officer stuck his nose inside my helmet took a sniff and sent me on my way...

    Cruised over to Royal and turns out it is biker Thursday and with the holiday - lot was packed.

    Burgman had some interest - apparently the Guelph dealer only stocks the 400.



    lotsa bikes



    so so food but was cheap and a good cause



    nice to see "my era" bike still roadworthy



    then the heavy iron....no appeal for me at all - always liked the mid range....but some good looking machines.





    made a nice break for a 6 hours outing - lot of it spent vegging at the Shed

    New ride is settling in nicely - first time I had tunes with the new helmet - worked out well riding with the wind....bit noisy earlier heading into it.

    Still fine tuning the gear. Enjoyed the ride tho - gorgeous day .....still is....might be a very early morning run tomorrow if it stays nice.

    Nice relaxing day over west of Arthur....dropped into my other sailplane club for a break.



    found out they have a package to get to licenced pilot for about $1900 all in .....that's a good deal. Info here if anyone is interested - hey take a demo flight.....I did and ended up a pilot a month later.

    And you think mcycling is fun....you ain't seen nuthin till you do a wing over at 7,000 feet and chase the hawks around.
    Damn I miss it at times......but the Burgmans fun too and not so weather dependent.

    Hah - a new sailplane pilot on the go.....Thom traded his cruiser for a 3D version for a few hours today on his way to pilot status by end of summer or sooner.

    Instruction on the controls



    big grin


    off the ground.....he'll do this himself ( with instructor aboard ) in a very few flights.




    on tow and will release a 2,000 feet and he'll be flying.



    Instructor will land it the next few flights as Thom progresses....
