Hello all:

Just joined up after a recent purchase of a very nice '76 TR6. Get ready for a lot of "newbie" questions.

Some years ago I picked up a BMW motorcycle, shortly after I joined pelican parts forum and it has been tremendously useful to me, hoping this site is the same. Been lurking a few days and it appears so.

I'm about an hour north east of Toronto in Ontario, looking forward to a month or two of top down driving before winter work starts.

Thanks in advance

Bill

Best Wishes with your "New/Old" toy.

Hello, Bill, and welcome to the Forum!
 
Bill, whereabouts are you? Hour northeast of Toronto, I'm thinking Peterborough or something?
 
Ah, no. Much farther to the left - I'm in Saskatoon!

My family used to have a cottage by Bancroft though - and my parents-in-law have a cottage in Haliburton, so roughly the same ballpark. I know the area up there well.

Has it started to snow there yet?

Hehe, whats a daimler sp250 look like?

I live here 'cause its close to the ganaraska forest where i do lots of dirtbiking and snowmobiling. There's an enduro in Haliburton next week, good riding up there too.

I have great aunt in Prince Albert, she used to raise samoyed dogs, I have one or her last dogs he's nearly 13 now, blind, diabetic but still moving (and eating I might say). Pretty good for a dog that in his prime weighed close to 140 lbs.

Bill
 
Not yet... but it started to snow in October last year, yikes. I moved here from Nova Scotia last year. Before that I was in Kingston, before that, in Toronto.

Good location! I'd never move back to Toronto. I think you have better quality of life there.

A Daimler SP250 looks a lot like a codfish :smile:

I'll post a link to my car thread, hang on...
 
James:

Not often you hear someone refer to their car as fishlike!

That things going to be a rocket with a V8. Very nice restoration project as it's so good to start with, and has a good story, 45 years in the same family.

I've been tempted by some offer to go to the City can't image living that way, wouldn't want to ever become a smug Torontoian.

Bill
 
Nobody has any reason to be smug in Toronto until they get a proper hockey team...(!)
