    A Day In The Life....

    What interesting things have you been up to lately?

    Post it up...pictures, videos etc....

    My 1st contribution to this thread:


    I did some bonding with my 18 year old...

    We took the GO Train downtown and jumped onto a tall ship for a cruise around Toronto Harbour.

    I love that last shot. That looks like a fun thing to do but I'm trying to keep my vomit free record and I don't get along too well with boats.

    Re: A Day In The Life....

    Thanks redridernl, that was one of the best pictures of the tour. That was some cool "4x4ing" EngineerJoe.

    Can a moderator please move this thread to romper room as I neglected to read the "fine print" - motorcycle related only.

    Thanks

    Depends on how you define "wrecked". I drove that Jeep home later that day, but took the bike into work today. Most of the damage done to that Jeep is cosmetic, but there has been some powertrain damage.

    Yup. That'd be 'wrecked'

    Re: A Day In The Life....

    My weekend...

    Chilled with friends in Toronto on Saturday;
    Hosted my in-laws on Sunday,
    And rode to Tobermory and back on Monday.

    No wonder I'm tired afterwards...

    The only picture from the ride is unflattering and it looks like we both have beer guts, so we'll spare you all.

    Pretty sure I was supposed to go to that with my "club" but, I had a provincial race weekend so had other priorities... In fact, I would be at the track right now but blew out the rear shock... Here's a couple typical weekends for me:
    Offroading:

    Racing:


    Winter fun:


    Life sure is boring eh??

    Re: A Day In The Life....

    Thanks for contributing to this thread.

    Keep posting your adventures!


    With the threat of rain - we stayed inToronto today.


    We left Port Union and 401 and headed down Hwy 2. (Kingston Rd.) to Kew Beach.




    On our way to Polson Pier we got delayed by the Acura Toronto 10-Miler & 5k Run.




    At Polson Pier we got a great view of Toronto's Sky Line (Cirque du Soleil is playing across the street).





    We then continued on to St. Lawrence Antique Market.





    Another great view of the City...





    From the Market we headed up Yonge Street and ended up in "China Town".








    Spadina and Dundas was not as packed as on a weekday.








    We made it back home before the rain...what a great way to spend Sunday!

    Just another day...

    Seems my video was blocked by EMI (Pink Floyd)...

    The wind blew a few branches into my back yard - broke the fence a bit. Let the clean up begin....

    If some of you have been watching some of my other threads you might know the Skydiving adventure is on Aug 27th. Noon.
    http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum...mer-are-you-in

    I'm interested in organizing a ride from the GTA to Skydive Burnaby. There are 4 confirmed Skydivers as of today.

    The ride would be all day with local riding at Wainfleet (Skydive Burnaby).
    http://skydiveburnaby.com/about-the-...m-toronto.html

    I'm looking to have several meeting points along the way, such as Scarborough, Pearson, Oakville Ford Plant, Hamilton etc. Leaders and sweepers and others knowing the area from Mississauga to Wainfleet are welcomed to ride or pass on suggestions - routes, places to see and places to eat?

    It would be awesome if a local rider(s) can take the group of non Skydivers on a tour of the area, while we jump from the plane?

    We will need to find a place to eat after the jump, can anyone make any suggestions for local dining?

    Looking forward to jumping out of a plane and having a great ride to boot.

    Saturday Aug 27th 2011

    I met with 2 other riders in Mississauga, who joined my wife and son (in our suv) to go Skydiving. We travelled to Wainfleet on the Niagara Peninsula. There the four of us did a tandem jump!




    I can't believe I jumped out of a plane!




    After Skydiving we travelled the backroads to Port Credit.




    Where we stopped for dinner on a roof top patio.




    From there we went to Buskerfest....what a blast!







    What an awesome "Day in the life"....

    If you want to see more pics and video of the Skydive....click the link (pictures pg. 3, video page 4).
