Here's a few pics from our local rides over the past summer. If you weren't here you're not in them!  But then you may have some places of your own where you've been.....

Maybe you'll see your self here, maybe you won't. This is a common phenomenon all over the world, in North America and in Europe, where motorcyclists meet together to talk about their bikes and explore the open road.

Is it the camaraderie or the good natured banter about bikes that fascinates, or the comparisons and marveling of the latest in add-ons or go fasts that also attracts?

Performance and speed are the echoing mantras for some. For others  it is the simple enticement of taking to the highway by yourself or with a group. It could be in the allure of traveling a distance.....

There is the anticipation of arrival and thrill of departure. Going down the road and getting to the destination is the thing. Sometimes your journey it is yet to be determined, and there is always the out and back!.

The pleasure felt with the wind on your face. The nostalgic charm of puttering along on some older bike that may have been the brightest penny in some other by-gone era.

Whatever the attraction is to the Wednesday night ride or any other night for that matter, many  motorcycle enthusiasts are drawn to participate in this form of gathering together.

Out of this common interest. There is a bond. A shared purpose that forms a common ground with others. It is a place we go together. You are not alone in this endeavour.

If you find the comfort of solitude on your bike, you may see your self here in these pics. You may not. This is a phenomenon that is taking place all across North America. You only need to find out where we meet. Attendance is usually accomplished by simply showing up.

What ever the reason you ride, there are more than enough of us around that can relate.
