Title: Midweek Coffee Post by: Bucko on April 21, 2022, 01:18:50 PM Looks like it may be dry for a few minutes tomorrow. Anyone up for coffee, say about 10'ish (after the traffic dies down a bit). I'm thinking the former Wired Monk (Highway 10) that we used to go to (now called the West Village Cafe ? ?) but open to any other suggestions.

Title: Re: Midweek Coffee Tomorrow (Friday Apr 21/22) Post by: Kurt on April 26, 2022, 01:22:13 PM Hey Ross, I don't know what time you can make it out this far. Let me know and we can meet at the Chevron Station on the south side of the freeway at Lickman Road on Thursday morning. Kurt

No real destination or distance Just out for a ride with little traffic.

Title: Re: Midweek Coffee Tomorrow (Friday Apr 21/22) Post by: Galactica on April 28, 2022, 06:44:34 PM We had a really good ride today. Kurt, Nico and I. A really leisurely ride up the canyon. A ways past Boston Bar, turned around at construction. Stopped at a high overlook of the Fraser for a pleasant sandwich lunch. Cool temperatures, ~10C. Nothing over 100kph. My MTT09 did 4.75lt/100km. Stopped at Kurt’s shop on the way home. He has 27 motorcycles. I counted them.
Title: Re: Midweek Coffee Tomorrow (Friday Apr 21/22) Post by: Bucko on April 28, 2022, 08:38:55 PM Sorry I missed it. I spent most of the day fixing a lawn mower, or more accurately: trying to fix a lawnmower.

I spent most of the day fixing a lawn mower, or more accurately: trying to fix a lawnmower. Tell us what’s wrong with it??? Well, the biggest problem is - it's electric. ;D It ran out of brushes. New set ordered. Now, it's wait time.

Ciao Title: Re: Midweek Coffee Tomorrow (Friday Apr 21/22) Post by: Kiwi_Roy on May 26, 2022, 11:11:04 PM Someone asked if there was a coffee shop at Maple Meadows Airport, I checked it out today, it has indoor and outdoor seating but doesn't open until 9:00 on a Sunday.
I didn't try the coffee though. It might be ok for a change, at least the ride there would be ok.

Title: Re: Midweek Coffee Tomorrow (Friday Apr 21/22) Post by: AH Fan on May 31, 2022, 10:06:26 PM Just in case you boys want a ride........... every Tuesday afternoon starting at 4;00 till probably around 7;30 or so there is a bike meet (read all manufacturers )out here in the garrison area.
I will be there if given warning.. 8) Ciao Title: Re: Midweek Coffee Tomorrow (Friday Apr 21/22) Post by: AH Fan on June 06, 2022, 05:00:54 PM OK you bums ;D Whos into a meet and greet at the park here in Sardis tomorrow afternoon/early evening?.......... its just off Vedder by the river at the dog/park....washrooms and all.
Kurt's sick so he cant make it but surely some of you boys can make the trip. Starts at around 4:00 and ends sometime after 7:00 I believe. They have a couple food trucks there every time and it appears its a good mix of machines and manufacturers as well. Let me know................ text or call me at 604-943-9701 Title: Re: Midweek Coffee Tomorrow (Friday Apr 21/22) Post by: Kiwi_Roy on June 06, 2022, 10:10:54 PM I'm up for it, some of the others may be as well if they hear about it
It really needs a different date on the title, I think that would be up to Bucko to change. Title: Re: Midweek Coffee Tomorrow (Friday Apr 21/22) Post by: Kiwi_Roy on June 07, 2022, 10:00:33 AM Dale says avoid Vedder as its being paved
come in via Keith Wilson, Evans, or Yarrow Update I puttered out there on my Convert, I thought I would dodge the motorway traffic by going out Vye road, big mistake, lots of road works. Lots of Harleys, a couple of Indians and lots of other big cruisers, I was definitely out of place on my old collector bike. A Super Tenere sporting 2018 Dust to Dawson stickers (no not Bob) A Honda 600RR which looked extremely fast Lots of other newer Japanese bikes. Dale's magnificent Centauro The return on the motorway was un-eventful but for a couple of showers which didn't last long. Where were you guys, you missed the miserable traffic. ;D Title: Re: Midweek Coffee Post by: Kiwi_Roy on June 09, 2022, 08:36:56 AM I was trying to find the name of a new motorcycle coffee shop on Hastings street when I came across this list, a few I already knew.
The Jammer looks interesting, they say they will have a workshop attached. https://www.trevdeeley.com/blog/10-restaurantscafes-in-vancouver-for-motorcycle-riders-to-meet-up--37415 Found it The Burnout Cafe 2032 East Hastings Street If the weather stays ok I will swing by there about 11 today. I didn't make it due to rain, will try again on Friday Update I went down there this morning, they have outdoor seating under a cover and lots of parking. Unfortunately for me they have terrible hours, M-F 11 AM - 6 PM, Sat - Sun 9 AM - 6 PM however there's an A&W right across the street I didn't wait to try the coffee, Ross was offering a free one lol It might be ok for a Sunday meeting if the weather was foul, arrive there at 8:00 or before and be well established by the time the shop opens at 9:00 |
