Title: Midweek Coffee
Post by: Bucko on April 21, 2022, 01:18:50 PM
Looks like it may be dry for a few minutes tomorrow.  Anyone up for coffee, say about 10'ish (after the traffic dies down a bit).  I'm thinking the former Wired Monk (Highway 10) that we used to go to (now called the West Village Cafe ? ?) but open to any other suggestions.

Thursday is supposed to be nice. My Goldwing told me it is taking a run up the canyon on Thursday. Anyone interested? Kurt

Hey Ross, I don't know what time you can make it out this far. Let me know and we can meet at the Chevron Station on the south side of the freeway at Lickman Road on Thursday morning. Kurt

We had a really good ride today.  Kurt, Nico and I.  A really leisurely ride up the canyon.  A ways past Boston Bar, turned around at construction.  Stopped at a high overlook of the Fraser for a pleasant sandwich lunch.  Cool temperatures, ~10C.  Nothing over 100kph.  My MTT09 did 4.75lt/100km.  Stopped at Kurt’s shop on the way home. He has 27 motorcycles.  I counted them.

Sorry I missed it.  I spent most of the day fixing a lawn mower, or more accurately: trying to fix a lawnmower.

Well, the biggest problem is - it's electric.  ;D  It ran out of brushes.  New set ordered.  Now, it's wait time.

Someone asked if there was a coffee shop at Maple Meadows Airport, I checked it out today, it has indoor and outdoor seating but doesn't open until 9:00 on a Sunday.
I didn't try the coffee though.
It might be ok for a change, at least the ride there would be ok.

That was me asking Roy.  Thanks for checking.  Sounds like a good option.

OK you bums    ;D    Whos into a meet and greet at the park here in Sardis tomorrow afternoon/early evening?.......... its just off Vedder by the river at the dog/park....washrooms and all.
Kurt's sick so he cant make it but surely some of you boys can make the trip.
Starts at around 4:00 and ends sometime after 7:00 I believe.
They have a couple food trucks there every time and it appears its a good mix of machines and manufacturers as well.

Let me know................ text or call me at 604-943-9701

I'm up for it, some of the others may be as well if they hear about it
It really needs a different date on the title, I think that would be up to Bucko to change.

Dale says avoid Vedder as its being paved
come in via Keith Wilson, Evans, or Yarrow
Update
I puttered out there on my Convert, I thought I would dodge the motorway traffic by going out Vye road, big mistake, lots of road works.
Lots of Harleys, a couple of Indians and lots of other big cruisers, I was definitely out of place on my old collector bike.
A Super Tenere sporting 2018 Dust to Dawson stickers (no not Bob)
A Honda 600RR which looked extremely fast
Lots of other newer Japanese bikes.
Dale's magnificent Centauro
The return on the motorway was un-eventful but for a couple of showers which didn't last long.
Where were you guys, you missed the miserable traffic. ;D

I was trying to find the name of a new motorcycle coffee shop on Hastings street when I came across this list, a few I already knew.
The Jammer looks interesting, they say they will have a workshop attached.
https://www.trevdeeley.com/blog/10-restaurantscafes-in-vancouver-for-motorcycle-riders-to-meet-up--37415

Found it
The Burnout Cafe
2032 East Hastings Street

If the weather stays ok I will swing by there about 11 today.
I didn't make it due to rain, will try again on Friday
Update
I went down there this morning, they have outdoor seating under a cover and lots of parking.
Unfortunately for me they have terrible hours, M-F 11 AM - 6 PM, Sat - Sun 9 AM - 6 PM however there's an A&W right across the street
I didn't wait to try the coffee, Ross was offering a free one lol

It might be ok for a Sunday meeting if the weather was foul, arrive there at 8:00 or before and be well established by the time the shop opens at 9:00
