    Is this just a Friday deal or a weekend fest? Very hard to get Fridays off, new job, do wanna check it out though. Q107 was talking about it on the radio in TO like it was a hide yer children type affair.
    Details anyone?
    Cheers

    I was down there on Friday, April 13 of this year. No shenanigans cause is was TOO cold (about 2 degrees C). I didn't stay too long, just a coffee and a walk around. I know that July is going to be a different affair. Looking forward to seeing a few VFR's out that day. Maybe we can organize a ride in together. I'm coming in from Fontill on Highway 3 going west. Would love to ride in with a few other VFR's. Any thoughts?

    Fri July 13/07 will likely be one of the most well attended events in recent memory. The last time I attended a Friday the 13th was also a July event and I believe that was back in the summer of 2002. That was one hot July day and the place was packed from before dawn until way past dusk. If you're going, not a bad idea to leave early...especially for those riding in on the lovely air cooled Harleys!

    I'll be there with a couple of friends, my wife and my red 05'...it'll be the one with the OEM bags, Sargent seat, Puig screen and LV pipes if you pass by it.

    The weather is lookin' good and everything is pointing towards a great day. See you all on the streets of Dover...

    I went too

    Where were you guys?
    I got there about 3pm and it was packed. Actually to many people for me. Next time I go it will probably be in the spring or the fall.
    Didn't see many VFR's though, a red 5G and an old early eighties one a 500 I think was down near the Tim Hortons. As I was leaving I passed a white 6G coming in though.
