Ian and I participated in our second Gentleman's ride in Halifax, a fundraiser to support prostate cancer and suicide prevention. We drove up Saturday night (in about 8 degree weather) and stayed at a hotel in Bayers Lake.The next morning we were off in our finest attire to meet at Point Pleasant Park around 9am. From there we headed through Halifax, Bedford and to the ChickenBurger for a much needed hot beverage. From there we ended in Cole Harbour at the Finbars Pub and enjoyed a beverage and food before commuting back to the valley. We forwent our change of clothes, thinking it'd be an easy drive back, but again it was brisk/wet and driving in a full suit isn't the warmest, but a very fun way to drive a classic motorcycle like Ian's 1976 Yamaha xs650 special, one of the funnest bikes I've ever driven!
Cannot wait until next year! Thank you again Ian!
Hi - is the bike with the red tank a BSA Gold Star 500 single? How old is it?
ReplyDeleteDid you get to try it out? I used to drive one, and other thumpers too. Dave
