Biggest Bike Rally in Canada...

[cognos]

Here's where I'll be today. Port Dover, Ontario - home to the largest motorcycle rally in Canada, held every Friday the 13th. Here's the webcam: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/main-street-port-dover

Port Dover is about 9 miles from my home, my parents live there. I'll be riding my 1981 Kawasaki KZ750, I'll be with the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group. I like the old stuff.

Should be around 20,000 bikes today. Maybe 75,000 people total. In a town of 5,500... If I see any diesel-powered bikes, I'll try to get some pictures! There have been a few in the past.

I'll wave at the camera - I'll be the guy with the leather jacket and the goatee. You can't miss me...

Please take lots of pictures of diesel bikes.  I have a Yanmar 2v78 V-twin I want to put in a motorcycle.  I have some ideas but I'd like to see more ideas before I build.

Oh, I think I saw you on the webcam.  Were you the guy with the leather jacket and the goatee and a belly?

Yup, that was me. I waved.

Didn't see any diesel bkes this year, but apparently there was one. Had an air-cooled diesel in it. Apparently in a japanese frame, sounded like a Harley.

Most interesting bike I saw this year was a "Nimbus" type C - a motorcycle from Denmark. I don't know what year it was, I'd guess late 40's, but it had an in-line 4 with an exposed valve train, a sidecar, and it was absolutely perfect.

Also saw about ten thousand Harley Davidson variants, that, after a while, all look the same.
