    Sounds like a great ride. Any idea of approximate time for the length of this ride? May have afternoon plans.

    Probably around 4 to 5PM, but you can always take off after lunch or when you are running short on time.

    Try 7:30AM or 8:00AM, now that's what I call early!! Especially when going North or Cross the Boarder into Pa for those one day rides, we need the time or else you won't be home until midnight.

    LOL....Bob - you're the best!!
    If I was going to meet Matt (while he's scuba diving) at the bottom of the Niagara River, I wasn't going to use my own bike



    Cheuh - good/SAFE ride - thanks for leading.

    Nice to see some familiar faces again.
    Hope y'all made it back ok.

    That right there was good times.

    Thanks Cheuh, great lead and pace. Thanks for introducing me to some new roads and route. Wish we could have stayed for more, and look forward to your next ride.

    Gary and F1M. The run from Fort Erie and on was soooo bad, but sooooo good.

    Awesome ride today.

    At the end there when it was Chueh, the zx14, and the 998 duc I hit the yellow line three times at least.

    The pace only got faster as people left the group.

    Hope to see you guys again before end of season, maybe a USA day ride? Seeing as everyone said the roads down south are so much better.

    Nothing wrong with the bike, it's just the rider

    The video can prove that the roads are terrible. It is like "Dance with the Wolf" on the TV. Get some nice close up action for Dave on the curves though.

    well post up the video if possible, my front end was way too soft for me today I was consistently going wide.

    Dave was right on your tail the whole ride, you guys left the duc and I behind a few times!
