What a great tradition you've created there, Trevor. I love that little Cinquecento.

Thanks Mason, yeah it’s grown into a very nice crew of guys. I grew up with my dad always having friends over to garage

Nice meeting....

My buddy Chuck lives in Banff and we go back to our early 20s....



A buddy's nice Vincent...he calls it a "half Vincent" as it's only a 500....he has a couple of others in his collection of over 40

Yep, she's a beauty. My buddy bought it a year ago as a retirement gift to himself....paid $20,000cdn and it needed work. He's wanted one since he was a kid. He also owns a nice 77 GS750e

I have a "Safety Meeting Group" text of 18 people...then there are about 10 by email...then a half a dozen by separate text, then a few by messenger on facebook. I let them know the morning of that it's on starting a 2pm until ??
The reason for the hiatus was I rode to Ontario for the first 3 Fridays then I had Covid on the 4th Friday...

Trevor, is it the case that in Victoria in order to register to vote you must prove ownership of a vintage motorcycle? It sure seems that way.

No they're not that strict ..... A vintage car will do .....

It really comes down to our awesome "Collector Plate" program we have in BC.
Our insurance here is run by the BC Gov...I know...how Commie of us...lol...
If you motorcycle is at least 25 years old you can apply for "collector plates"....you send in 6 pics of your bike...front, rear, both sides, seat and vin.
Your bike has to be in nice mostly original conditions...safety items like new suspension, brake line etc. are ok...and certain period correct mods....like the 4-1 exhausts my bike has. If your bike is approved it about a 75% discount. The only restrictions are you can't ride it to and from work or school...other than that you can ride it as much as you want....as you know from me...
If you have several bikes that have been approved for collector status you can get a "multi-plate"...one plate that cost about the same as having three individual collector plates....and then you can put as many collector plates on it at no extra charge.
This program extends to cars as well....so this might very well be part of the reason we have so many old bikes/cars on the road.
I love it! Keeps classics on the road and creates it's own cottage industry in the process.

Well another good Friday afternoon safety meeting.....great weather we are having.

My buddy Brian seems to buy a new motorcycle every week...lol...he picked up this beauty this week....Ohlins front and rear, Corbin seat, after market exhaust etc etc this makes number 27 0r 28 bikes he has now....he's certifiable
I have always loved these bikes..







My buddy Geoff...you have seen a couple of his cars....70 green Jaguar convertible and a 60s red Austin Healey



And then things got interesting...lol...a friend Steve who has a huge car and motorcycle collection came over....you may remember a thread I did "Friday safety meeting doing a tour"...where we saw his collection....he's Lotus guy.
1967 Cortina
He races this one...
