Welcome from south of Chatham Ontario. I've been retired for 18 years and now farming. Metal working machines are part hobby and part farm maintenance for me.

I'm planning to go to the meetup in Newmarket so maybe I'll meet you there. Be.sure to let @CWret know you are interested in coming. It should be a great session.

Thanks Susquatch, I’m going to try to make it, looks like a no go for the tool show for me though.

Welcome to the Forum. Great bunch that are always ready to answer a question. So what’s a MotoRider?
Supermoto / motard / motocross- all fun on 2 wheels

Hope you can make the meetup- I’ll send you a PM

Welcome from Vancouver Island!

Your first impression was spot on. Great bunch of guys here who are very supportive.

 

[MotoRider]

Thanks @CWret, I’ll ride anything with two wheels, I’m on the road and the dirt, single track enduro etc, I’ve been threatening lately to go vintage road racing, so many toys, so little time! lol

 

[CWret]

MX before marriage, kids and career followed by 40+ years of dirt riding. Loved trips to Ganaraska Forest and several adventures at Hatfield & McCoy trails.

 

[DeBangis]

Welcome to CHMW.

 

[MotoRider]

The Ganaraska is definitely where it at!!

 

[CWret]

Yep the Ganny is great - but doesn’t hold a candle to WV. Not even close!
Ever get a knee down riding the ice with studs? - That’s a rush!

Yes, I have done quite a bit of ice racing back in the day, like dirt track and speedway it really teaches throttle control! All that sideways action is a lot of fun.
