Hey guys and gals Honda canada will be having its first ever gymkhana at their head office in mark ham ontario. Also a group ride after on display will be the CBR family along with the cruisers and their new nc700 release this year . At this event will be a skills competition along with games and foods ... I will be doing a ride up there nothing special highway 7 to 404 and we reach ou destination . Meeting point is highway 7 and Martin grove .... Time is 1PM
 
Oh come on guys it's 30 perfect an we can pull in somewhere of it rains ...... Let's be bikers / stupid
 
I was there and stayed through the rain. Got to demo a CBR125 (first time on a non-cruiser frame for me). The event was alright, could have used more vendors, and they focused really heavily on the Gymkahna. It was cool to watch, probably cooler to participate in but the weather really killed the numbers quickly.
 
I was there also, I had a good time and test rode the new NC700x. They were handing out swags. Scored some Honda T shirts and sunglasses.
 
I took the kids over to watch the braver (and older) 6 yrs and up munchkins ride around on the little 50cc dirtbikes. Omg they were just too cute, whizzing around on the grass, and all dressed up in red Honda gear :)!
 
Wasn't the greatest demo ride, too many people showed up and the first few sessions were overbooked. My schedule got mixed up and I ended up losing a ride on a Shadow. Got to ride the VFR1200. I was underwhelmed. Motor is buzzy and lacked low end oomph. I'd rather buy another Blackbird. Didn't stick around for the gymkana, tried to bail before the storm but failed miserably. Got drenched on the way home and needed to stop 4 times to wait out the downpours.

Was there this morning and was able to go on the 2nd Demo ride riding the CBR600RR. Nice ride with a number of tight turns riden at a moderate pace. Very impressed with the power and handling of the CBR600R and is on my short list of bikes to consider to buy. They also gave away Honda T shirts, posters,bags, water bottles ,ect. The Gymkhana riding was interesting to watch. Looking forward to the next Honda Demo ride.

Retro, you missed out - BCH4 was riding in the gymkhana. We had a good time, despite the rain. Sun was out for most of the competition. Some of the competitors were quite skilled. Too bad I didn't bump into you before you left.
 
i won every category that existed ...............Even have the impressive number DQ's and falls :) lol

Bummer, maybe I should've stuck around. But that heat and humidity was getting to my head. I didn't even know you could sign up for the gymkana, wasn't made clear on their website.
