Title: Anyone here in the forum in Ontario, Canada?
Post by Rembrandt on 06/06/13 at 20:43:32

I'm new to the Savage...06 Boulevard...wondering if any members are anywhere near Peterborough, Ontario. I'm interested in meeting up with owners and riders reasonably local. I met a wonderful fellow a couple of weekends ago in Warkworth, a quaint little town about a half hour from my small city who luckily just retired at 56 and had just bought his first bike, a 2013 Boulevard S40. We talked shop for a bit. I have just returned to riding after ten years and I'm only ten years behind him in age. His only regret is not having bought a bike sooner. I directed him to this site for its incredible resources and helpfulness. Take care all. Glad to be here. Glad to be back on two wheels. It really is an article of faith to be moving at the speed of traffic up on two wheels.

I guess not.

You can try the member locator and map.

You can also check the member and guest maps.....and see who is on the site. If you click on the location it will show you who the person is if they are a member. They have to be signed on for them to show up.

You're a good man Justin. A trip to Texas from my northern parts of the continent; now that would be a great ride.

Hi Toby...my missus is from Trail, BC, so I actually do make it to your fine province ever couple years or so.

Hi Arteacher in London. Who knows--maybe if you're game we can meet up somewhere halfway this summer and go for a ride.

Sure- as long as I stay away from TO- I hate TO.

Certainly the driving in Toronto is a nightmare.

Hey that's pretty close to Peterborough. I took a ride up to Picton today in fact. How long have you been riding the savage?

65 miles west of London and across the river in Michigan.

Hi McMillan. I've been away from bikes for ten years, but bought my 06 almost five weeks ago. I've logged over 2000 miles and am loving it all over again. Maybe we can hook up for a ride this summer if you're game. You probably have lots to teach me about the bike too. I'm reading voraciously here on the site, but don't necessarily understand everything I'm reading. I'm not exactly mechanically inclined, although I did manage the Raptor mod on Saturday with no problems.

Little far to Peterborough.
Nice place though!

Stirling, Ontario here.
Worked several years in Peterborough upgrades to sewage plant.
Just bought a 2003 Savage two weeks ago. I think it is my 8th bike.
Been riding for 40+ years:-)
