It'll be good to get together again.

Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Runningdog on March 17, 2022, 06:56:55 AM
Yeah, perhaps.   Henry, are you listening?


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: rz5mark on March 17, 2022, 04:54:47 PM
I might be able to make that.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: kaw74 on March 17, 2022, 05:19:38 PM

Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Runningdog on March 18, 2022, 06:45:08 AM
Yeah, sure, next weekend, then.

Closer to Kelowna this Saturday......Pulp Fiction?

Post by: fffCycles on March 19, 2022, 08:02:53 AM
Not this Saturday for me and possibly not next due to family commitments. Too bad, winter is getting long and with restrictions lifting I would like to go back to living life. Enjoy guys.

Are we doing Falkland on Saturday?  Henry was going to check with the former Ranch, as it's changed hands and he's not sure they still do breakfast.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: kilowop on March 31, 2022, 07:36:34 AM
If the weather holds for Saturday breakfast in Falkland, I'll try to make it there on the bike. Haven't been abused by your bunch for many months.

Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Hawkeye on March 31, 2022, 08:16:11 PM
Sounds good. Saturday's 60/40 for rain, so the GL will stay in the barn.

What's a good time?  10 am??

Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Hawkeye on April 01, 2022, 07:11:31 PM
RD, come in off the highway at the north end of the airport as usual. I'll walk past the bridge and meet you around 8:30. It will be another week for them to finish construction, then paving after that.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Runningdog on April 01, 2022, 08:48:34 PM
Yeah. we're somewhat cutoff too, from the Kelowna end by the roundabout construction at Barkley Road.   Ahh, progress.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: hardrockminer on April 02, 2022, 04:17:48 AM
4 degrees with showers right now so it will definitely be my truck.

Not much response, so, Mike, just want to go somewhere?  Close to my home, so I can go see Mom in PM.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: jetta90 on April 22, 2022, 09:03:14 PM
No go for me this Sat.  Maybe next week on the Sat?


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: hardrockminer on April 23, 2022, 04:39:20 AM
I would love to go but my hip won't allow me to travel that far.  Heading into Kamloops today to pick up some highway pegs.  Maybe the ability to change leg position will help.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Hawkeye on April 23, 2022, 06:30:09 AM
Pick a place in WK.

Post by: hardrockminer on April 24, 2022, 04:22:34 AM
Rode into River City yesterday.  Boy, has that place changed!  Not sure that I like it though...seems very focussed on dirt bikes.  Anyway, I picked up a set of highway pegs and will install them today.  Then we rode out to Dreamcycle, as it is open.  Had lunch and a piece of pie!  Talked to Mark.  He said has was busy all winter restoring some new bikes and has some adventure tours lined up for later this summer.  Next trip I plan to go through the museum again.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call

Anybody up for coffee Saturday?


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call

Sounds like a plan.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Runningdog on May 13, 2022, 09:33:19 PM
Perks, a few doors up from Lee Valley in Orchard Plaza, by the Kelowna Save-On?


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Hawkeye on May 13, 2022, 10:06:50 PM
Works for me. Just need to decide which bike.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: jetta90 on May 20, 2022, 07:31:25 PM
Anybody up for coffee tomorrow in Kelowna?  or even West Kelowna?


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call

Sure, name a place.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call

Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call

Doesn't matter to me as long as the coffee is super good.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call

Runningdog and I are planning a short two wheeled run towards Penticton tomorrow (Saturday).  Leaving the Mobil/President's Choice gas station in West Kelowna at 8:15 am.  Just a short run down to Penticton and back.
If anybody in the area wanted to join - we depart at 8:15 sharp.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Hawkeye on July 08, 2022, 08:50:40 PM
I need to get the starter replaced in my truck, otherwise I'd be right there. Need the cool of the morning.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call

Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call

Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Runningdog on September 17, 2022, 06:58:47 AM

Yeah for coffee.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Hawkeye on September 29, 2022, 08:20:24 PM
Just coming off COVID. Feeling good, but I don't know if I'm legal yet.

Did anyone else get sick after the last coffee meet?


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: jetta90 on September 30, 2022, 07:40:23 PM
Pulp Fiction Coffee House in Kelowna @ 10:00 am Saturday.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: jetta90 on October 03, 2022, 09:50:34 AM
As a follow up from this past Saturday's meeting.....

There should be a motorcycle outing organized in order to take advantage of the current fall mild weather.
If I may propose a ride this coming Wednesday.  Maybe a run from Kelowna area down to Green Mountain Road and back.
Any interest?


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Runningdog on October 03, 2022, 10:07:59 AM
Sure, pencil me in.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Hawkeye on October 03, 2022, 07:27:11 PM
That could work.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: jetta90 on October 04, 2022, 06:23:47 PM
Howard and Mike....you want to come to my place for 10 am?
Not looking like there are others at this point.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Runningdog on October 04, 2022, 08:00:02 PM
Righto.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Hawkeye on October 04, 2022, 08:12:53 PM
Been a long time, Claudio. Probably best if I catch up with Howard around 9:45 at his place, then ride over.

I forgot to test the starter on the Wing today, so I'll try to do that first thing in the morning.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: hardrockminer on April 24, 2023, 10:14:33 AM

Anyone up for a ride to Falkland for coffee this Saturday?  Temperature is supposed to hit 25 deg here in Chase.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: kaw74 on April 24, 2023, 11:23:02 AM
I have company coming or I would say yes. I see the cafe is open at the museum the other day.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Runningdog on April 24, 2023, 12:31:00 PM
Perhaps....good way to fritter away most of the day.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: rz5mark on April 24, 2023, 05:46:31 PM
I could maybe make it.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Hawkeye on April 24, 2023, 08:10:53 PM
I knew there was a reason I put the bike on the road today.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: kilowop on April 24, 2023, 10:14:07 PM
I have two machines mobile, so if you're going to be within reasonable distance of me, keep me in the loop.  Always looking for an excuse to go for ride.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: hardrockminer on April 25, 2023, 04:43:47 AM
What's a good time for everyone to make it?


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Runningdog on April 25, 2023, 06:29:57 AM

Well, I'd say coffee time.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call

Hey!  I'm retired!  Any time is coffee time!

How does 11 am sound?


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Runningdog on April 25, 2023, 04:43:38 PM
Sounds like brunch.....good for me.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: kilowop on April 25, 2023, 07:09:30 PM
Have you Sleazy Riders decided WHERE to 'do lunch" a bit early, YET?


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: hardrockminer on April 26, 2023, 04:49:12 AM
How about 10 am then?  At the hotel?


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Runningdog on April 26, 2023, 06:40:19 AM
Okey Dokey.

Looks like pub opens at 11:30.....


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: hardrockminer on April 26, 2023, 02:36:03 PM
OK...10 am at the hotel. 

Ron, are you in?  We could meet up at the brake check on Hwy 97 if you want some riding company.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Runningdog on April 26, 2023, 05:30:22 PM
Note, hotel not open till 11:30.

How about Spallumcheen Golf Course?    just under 70 klicks from West Kelowna, and just over 70 k from Chase.

Unless you northerners know of another place in Falkland.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: kilowop on April 26, 2023, 07:30:41 PM
Some clarification Please.  I'm trying to persuade a couple other to come along, and they are not too sure of some details. 

Saturday ride?

Actual Meeting place?

Town/Village?

Time frame?

Weather is still looking good in the forecast, so I'll try my best to get a few riders together. If nothing works out, I'll let you know WAZ-up on Friday evening.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: hardrockminer on April 26, 2023, 07:48:43 PM

Golf course is fine.  Same time?


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Runningdog on April 27, 2023, 06:41:28 AM
OK, for those still confused about our meeting place and time:

Spallumcheen Golf Course, across the highway from O'Keefe Ranch.

10:00AM

See you all there.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: hardrockminer on April 27, 2023, 09:38:42 AM
Sounds like a plan!


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: kilowop on April 28, 2023, 11:51:46 AM
Kamloops contingent out for this meet-up. Too many, doing too much, to be able to spare the time.  Being a grumpy single old bugger does have it's advantages. If I feel up to it, I'll take a ride in the vicinity.


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: hardrockminer on April 29, 2023, 06:42:43 PM
Nice ride out.  Took Hwy 97.  Traffic was sparse but there were a few bikes on the roads.  The golf course restaurant is pretty good.  Lots of people out golfing.  The ride back was like the ride out.  Stopped for gas at the Petrocan and ran into a couple out on their bikes.  There were a few at the Falkland hotel but not nearly as many as usual.  I think this weekend will cause people to get the itch.

Oh..and great company at the restaurant!

Hi gang I'm baaack, retired now and turned gold miner and Luthier. Back living in Lake Country again. Fersure you know I have lotsa questions and many stories.
A get together for coffee and vittles would be quite enjoyable. Sunday 16th somewhere?


Title: Re: Celowna Coffee Call
Post by: Runningdog on March 16, 2024, 04:48:32 PM
Bud, I was just thinking about you a couple of days ago, wondering what you were up to.  You riding?

If you are retired, then you aren't tied to a weekend for coffee.  The rest of us around here are pretty much retired, too, so make a coffee suggestion and see what pops up.   Sunday, I have minor plans, but the rest of the week is open.

Well guys, not panning or sluicing yet but soon. No not riding yet either. Often thought of you guys too.
A get together would be great, somewhere central to all going for coffee and vittles, this week any day like Tues. Wed. Mon. Fri. Thus. I'm open as well.
