507 & stuff - Thursday September 3, 2009- tentative

[too much]

I just took some time off and I want to go for a ride tomorrow. I was thinking 507, Elephant lake road, something around 600Kms, I will finalize my plans tonight.

I ride a Bandit 1250, traffic speed + whatever is appropriate without atrracting much attention, I plan to ride the twisties at my own pace (the PACE), enjoy as much as possible, but return home with no scratches, in one piece and maybe stop for lunch somwhere nice (not necesarelly), but mainly ride. Intend to leave around 10AM, and retun around 7PM.

If you fit the pattern (no absolute noobs, not M1 friendly, no stunts, no Id10ts), feel free to get post, we will agree eventually on the ride details...

I suggest we do this http://www.motowhere.com/maps/route/...olours-Ontario (thanks to Starship) or once we exit Elephand Lake road, take 60 across Algonquin and than head back .... Does anybody have a GPS, as I have two but no cradle yet Anyway, we can go old style and use maps.

10:45-11:00 Tim Hortons in Port Parry sounds OK. Trying to leave at 11, what do you guys think ?

I will post in the morning if anything comes up.

Fatigue will be an important part, especially on the way back. Make sure you have proper equipment, so you won't be cold, or wet, if ...

I am not sure I will be able to make 2 meeting spots. I intend to take 407 (entering from Bathurst) and then either 404 to Bloomington, either keep on 407 and take 7 North, towards Port Perry. If we can meet somewhere on this way, it may work ... Oterhwise let's do Port Perry.

I see u guys 10:45 at timmies in port
