Friday afternoon safety meeting.

Vancouver Island would seem to have more vintage vehicle enthusiasts per capita than anywhere else on the planet. Except maybe Cuba?

So communism works?

Holy crap, you could be on to something

[trevor]

Lol that would be a good reason for me to move here.
The first year I lived here I had 14 family members and friends come visit
Never have I had a problem with family or friends coming to visit lol

B.C. is known as Bring Cash. Relatively decent climate brings in the retired from other places in Canada. The problem with the island is the inconvenient and highly priced ferries, plus you have to drive through the Vancouver area on top of that to get over there. We thought of moving to Qualicum Beach but I figured no one would ever visit us over there.

Is that near Echo Beach or not so far away?

[Cipher]

I've noticed that myself .... A quarter of the size of the UK and less than 900.000 people a large number of who are vintage motorcycle and car collectors ..... A fair number with deep pockets ..... I don't know what is in their air but it must be " vintage " oxygen ........

Its the legacy of laxv weed laws.

[trevor]

The weed laws are a bit of a problem. I'm afraid to move in case I end up living next a weeder and am stuck with the stench wafting over all the time. BBQ's I can deal with but not that. I don't care if someone smokes it, I just don't want to have to smell it.

Lol....I don't think that would be a real issue...I smell it once in while here...no biggie....and I know one thing, I'd rather live beside a stoner than a drunk.

[Cipher]

What about the smell of fresh baked muffins? Or does that go over your heads too?

Had a special Safety Meeting yesterday....I brought in lots of food and booze for the occasion to celebrate my insurance case being over....my buddies were very supportive during my recovery and this was a way to thank them for that. Free food and booze is always a good hook with my buddies....lol

And we had a special guest Bevan Gore-Langdon a friend of mine with an amazing collection of over 30 bikes including a 1914 Indian and a 1938 Brough Superior. He's 87 years old and he played the piano for a living....some years ago while shopping for vinyl I found one of his albums and purchased it...and I got him to sign it. I love this man...he has so many stories and I could listen to him all night. Love going over to his house too.
What a fantastic night!







With Bevan is my friend John....he too is a bike collector with of 40 motorcycles in his collection lots of British stuff.....he's a retired pilot.



It was a dry day but a little cool but I have some hardcore riding buddies....



Kevin on his awesome 82 1100e



And of course Oreo was there looking for treats as always



My buddy Todd's cool ride, although I like is 1978 Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am ,,,,Todd owns a commercial sandblasting business and a motorcycle rental business, he's Ukrainian and does amazing work in the community since the war started and I was able to donate to his cause last night. He's been feeding refugees at the Ukrainian club. Good man
