Welcome to KZR Doug. A fellow Ontarian here, and part of the Southern Ontario Kawasaki Owners Riding Group. Check out the link in my signature below, and come out and join us for a meet sometime.

When is the next Friday the 13th in Port Dover? One that would have decent riding temps. Got to get a bunch of the "Gang" out to one.

Where abouts are you in Ontario? I'm about an hour North East of Toronto, in Stouffville, with wide open Country roads all around me.

Welcome aboard, Scrapper.
Always glad to see another '76 900. Post some pics when you can.

Welcome, Doug.
The first bike I ever owned was a '76900, brand spanking new. Great bike. It sure took some dings, being the bike I learned on and me being "height challenged" and all.
Looking forward to some pics.

Eric

Hey Doug. Wow your close to Port Dover! Whats that, a 20 minute ride for you? It's a couple of hours or more for me.

FightingBouncer (aka Scott DeMoor) from this site and the S.On. Kawi Riders Gp. lives in Delhi, also very close to you.

I hope to make it to Port Dover in 2006. I'll let you know if a bunch of us are heading down, or having a ride in your nick of the woods.

www3.sympatico.ca/elhum/ Here are some readly rad spots to ride in Ontario by the way Its more like an hr away for me to Dover ... Longer in the rain Lol ....Doug

Welcome scrapper. I was in Port Dover last Fri 13th in July. Not planning to be there in Jan. I've been through Vienna a few times on the way to the beach at Port Burwell and remember that there are a few nice twisties on that road

Woodstock ON Canada
1980 kz750 E1, 4->1 K&N pods

Oh yes, JR, your close to that area as well. Must be nice when Friday the 13 th. comes along. This year, in May, it rained a bit, and I was not prepared for the long ride. Coming from Woodstock, Vienna or Delhi would be great! For me, it's about 175km/109 miles one way to Port Dover. I need plenty of time to ride it comfortablly.
