c) Most nites there were only Tony, Yanki, Ralph (an he don't gots no 'Stang), Gerry and me. (CobraCory gets an honourable mention). Basically cuz its so open and windy (and therefore cold). Not to mention the "ohmygawd it might rain" types. Tony and I were the only ones who showed up consistently to try to keep it going.
Ya I'm pissy about it.
Y'know I had a much longer reply to your last post Raf... but the more I wrote the more I came back to your threat about the big MOD stick..
Therefore... fuggit.. go ahead lockit I don't give a rattz azz. Someone else can try to organize this.

I'm liking this one for starters!
How about between 7 & 8pm first Friday in May..that'd be the 6th.. and we'll go from there.

Well I think the brant street timmies would be better.. the only reason is becasue you can see it from the q.e.w. / 403 / 407.. it's right where the highways merge. I'll take some pictures and show you. there is a lot less attention from cops in Burlington.
it's about 10 - 15 minutes closer then the walkers timmies for you london guys. I'll talk to some of my guys about meeting up there once a week. they should be up for it.
I totally understang the toronto people wanting to stay out mississauga end. Traffic here can be crazy. But if we can find a nice medium. we are set.
The timmies / burger king on brant street has a lot more space + you can get a cheese burger at anytime.. and there is a nice pub in the same complex.
it also would be a nice meeting point to go for a cruse to mississauga.. it would take 15 minutes to get to square 1 after 7pm.
stratGT.. i'll 2nd your sunday night.. I think sunday would be a good day to test out a spot. should be able to get a lot of people out.
May 6th works good for me as well as the whole weekend if we plan on doing this on the sunday.

Another good idea is if we can get 4-5 dedicated spots.. and post some directions on here. that way we know where we are going.. perhaps useing map quest.. I don't mind going from Burlington out to toronto.. after 7.. the traffice isen't so bad.
Spot 1 = Square 1
Spot 2 = Brant street in Burlington
Spot 3 = a place in North York
etc etc etc... that way it would be easy to rotate spots.. granted some people will be working.. but it would be a fare way to rotate.
maybe this is something we would have on the main page once things are sorted out.

Hey I'm up for Brant St.
Damn Us westerners gotta be able to come up with something!
This is just a way to get some folks together other than only waiting for
Show N Shines,Dyno Days etc. that are basically only once a month.
Even rotating would not bother me......But we got to be able to get something going!
Hopefully the weather (which played a big factor in last years turnouts ) will be better as well.
Just remember I am open to any decent meeting places.

I don't know about anyone else, but later than 8 or 9 like the last one would be better for me as well. By the time I get home from work and then make dinner and take care of the dog, etc. I'd have to rush just to get there. Maybe some people didn't come out because they heard it was at 8 and couldn't come out till 10 so they never bothered?
