Kind of a cool start to ride there, day starting temp was below 40F, grabbed the cylinders a few times to generate some heat to the hands, once there jacket and chaps came off, sweater and other shirts stayed on, quite comfortable for the rest of the day with clear skies and warmth of the sun making it a perfect day for our Port Dover's Friday the 13th. Not to many bikes there by 10 am but as the temps rose the bikers came in endless lines soon to park and fill main street and it's joining side streets. I saw a few other Victory's there, 2 Visions, 1 Hammer, 3 Jackpots, 1 Vegas on top of the ones we rode up the most popular Victory there this time that we seen was the New Cross Country Tour in Sunset Red, we counted aleast 4 or 5. Who showed up from The Vog that we met, Dirtbag 700, Victorious, Bruno & Julie, MsportRJ, plus myself, OT Plus he who said he wasn't going to go, Our One and Only Candubrain. I left Port Dover around 7:30 pm after attending a BBQ at a friends house, I had a comfortable ride arriving home just before dark. I was talking to a couple of American bikers that ran into a little trouble on their own side of the boarder before crossing the Peace Bridge, they were met by a few of their own State Troopers who were pulling over motorcyclist before they entered Ontario, they were checking for modified exhaust systems, they didn't do a sound check or anything along those lines, just checked to see if they had a stock system or not, if not they were handed a $98.00 fine as they both had no stock systems installed on their bikes. OT

Been that way in USA for years, against the law to change and modified exhaust systems, I think as far back as mid 70's. So I miss Dover but I will most likely make the July run. From Ft. McMurray. Regards
