Ya, and tentative plan for buffalo is to ride the waterfront/riverside, check out a spot recommended by a friend in buffalo, then cheesecake factory. Maybe a stop at a bike shop if goldie found out its location?

my empathies to mikee_P (was it) who had to turn back.
sorry guys - my helmet strap came undone after the 'incident' and i had stop. I tried to catch up but didn't know which way to go after i hit Steeles avenue. I looked around near that area (at Steels) as BrianP said if the group gets broken he will wait near the next safest stop. I couldnt find anyone. I forgot where the next stop was and all i remembered was exit 88. I stopped at a nearby Timmies and asked for directions but i guess i asked the wrong guy. Got lost and came back! Oh well! That's not a familiar route to me.

Hope Mikee_P (sorry if that's not your right name) is feeling better. We have all had incidents with our bikes and the trick is to get back on your bike and continue riding.If you PM Brian P I'm sure he can tell you where you can get replacement parts at a cheaper price. Ken (kneedragger) on this site is very reasonable for repairing bikes.
Thanx Brian P for an excellent ride and for showing us that exceptional route to Niagara Falls.The weather and fellow riders were great and I really enjoyed the afternoon.
Ride safe.

Very good ride today after Mikee's little incident (and he rode it home, so it's not that bad ... as with aircraft "any landing you can walk away from is a good one"). Just got home now. I've got about an hour of high resolution on-board camera footage to download and tinker with tomorrow while it's raining.
reminder for new and olde riders alike based on activities observed in the rear view mirror
: "pretend the center line is a center wall ... if you cross it, that's as good as a crash"
It was good to match up some more names, faces, and bikes. That was a good lunch spot, even though we overwhelmed the kitchen for a little bit.

Big thanks to Brian for the route. Nice twisties all the way there and in probably the same amount of time :thumbup:
Just got back from the buffalo-extended ride a second ago lol. So hope everyone got home safely. For those that missed it, it was great food at the cheesecake factory, we toured the ghettos of buffalo, saw two deer/buck, watched the beautiful hamilton nightscape and lighted cross, and enjoyed the bugs and twisties on the route i posted on the way back 
:cheers:
