Thank you, the drone shots are from my own drone. I have been taking drone videos for two years using a DJI Mini 3.

@@dougsmotocyclevlog1603 Very cool .The drone shots make a huge difference.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Thank you, I am slowly feeling better. More videos are coming. I have been out on the bike more recently.

I am glad to hear this video helped. I have more content coming shortly.

Thank you More videos being published soon.

I hope you had a Merry Christmas and you have a Happy New Years. I am looking forward to 2024.

Winter has just stared and it already seems long

Any thing above 8C/50F I am good for a ride. I would like to get out for at lease one more ride before the snow flies.

Thank you, still trying to get out for one more ride for 2023.

I alway hope for an early spring, would like to get out for a few more rides.

Thank you for having a look at my channel. We are nearing the end of the riding season for this year in the great white north, but I still have a few more video to put out.

LIKEWISE Doug. I live in Calgary & we got cold & snow about a week ago, but it has since melted. Today's High is +8C and tomorrow is going to be +12C around mid day, I am still Riding. May I ask what city are you in.? I could introduce you to more of us Canadian MotoChannels.

Yes - the riding season for this year is almost over, but I will have a few more videos left to put out.

Thanks 👍, Yes I had an enjoyable day. Glad I took that day off.

Yes -it was good day. Next the Dover event will be in Sept. Might be warmer 🤔

@@dougsmotocyclevlog1603 should hopefully be good weather, I remember a few years ago it was in the summer, talk about alot of people!!

The event has later in the year, cooler which impacted the number of riders coming in. I enjoy get on the biker riding for a few hours and the meet ups. It was still a good day.

The red has grown on me. it was the only colour available at the dealer for the softail slim and I did not want to wait. And for sure its something different. Thanks for the comments. 👍 😄🍎

@@dougsmotocyclevlog1603 Doug, I'm about to obtain a 1981 RED & chrome Honda cb650 inline 4 cylinder motorcycle with only 31K miles on the clock from a friend who bought it brand new in '81! Has not ridden it in the last 20 years, but, has stored it in his garage and covered-in New Mexico. Don't be surprised if I should send you a text photo of it! ❤️🏍️😁🦅😎👍Doug

Thanks for the heads up!

I have been going for years. A long while back it was going through a rough phase. The event was filled with some tension, both multiple gangs and the heavily armed police were 'tightly wound' for lack of a better phrase. Over the next couple years the police presence was increased dramatically including spot checks along the routes into Dover, some as far as eighty kilometres out. In addition it seemed the police tactically changed their demeanor, their leading with smiles and waves went along way to lowering the events temperature. Those positive changes have continued to this day. Any ugly dark side is invisible to the public, the police, EMS, hosts, clubs and guests are in better spirits. The energy is very positive. It is a safe event. That early proactive effort allowed the event to continue.

@@ericsweetadventure I used to go all the time back in the day but the amount of police turned me off from going. It sure looks subdued from when I use to go even in the colder months

@@c-v-n3322 This year they made the core bike free and then replaced the rows of bikes in the core with tented vendors. Not sure that was a positive move. In previous years the core would be filled with the die hards, they tended to be a rougher looking set of riders, custom builders as well. I think that added to the core 'mayhem', missed that this year for sure.

I agree, it was harder to see all the bikers. I preferred when they had the bikes part in the centre of the main street. You could see more of the bikes. I had to part on the side streets, as I was later arriving, around 11am. It was still a good event. Next year Sept, some warmer weather, no heat gear for me yet.

It was not as busy as I have seen in past years. Having the event later in the year, did have an impact to the number of riders for the event. Its still nice to get on the bike ride for a few hours, and meet up.

Good day at Dover considering it was in October.

I am riding a 2014 softail slim. I am a shorter dude and seat height is perfect.

I am in the east part of London, been here for over 30 years. I am sure if the train was running in Port Stanley this year.

Thank you for watching and the sub. I hope to get out on the bike a few more time before it's too cold. More vids to come 😄

It is always a good day at Port Dover if the rain holds off. I book most of the Friday the 13th off, before November and after March. Just too cold to ride those months, no heated gear. You should take the time a go, it's a good day. Thank you for watching and your comments.

That is cool!! I was surprised the size of the crowds in Oct. I had a great day and will be in Dover next year on Sept 13th. It was about a 90 minute ride from London to Dover. It was a good day to miss work.😃

Keep in touch I live in Jarvis...@@dougsmotocyclevlog1603

It was a good day, and for Oct the crowds were large. Great to see I captured you in the vid. Need to make sure you book of Sept 2024 for the next Dover event. Thank you for watching and your comments.

@@dougsmotocyclevlog1603 Yes It was a good day .Lots to see for sure. I'll most certainly make the trip again next year. Cheers 🍻

Thank you for watching and the comments. It was a bit chilly for the 90 minute ride. Once you got into Dover it was a good day. The vendors were great, a large crowd for Oct and no rain until getting back into London. 👍

@@dougsmotocyclevlog1603 That is always the kicker who gets rained on.

thank you - I am currently working on the next video.

Thank you John, I am working on the next video.

Thanks 👍 John, it was nice to get out an enjoy Canada Day!

Thanks John, will do!

Thanks John, I will continue to ride as long as possible and I am safe.

thank you for the comments, just took some upfront planning. I am still pleased with the out come. The music not the best, the free stuff from TH-cam. Be safe out there!

Thank you John for the comments, I hope all is fine with you. I am feeling better so I can get back on the bike.

Thank you, I have been slow with my videos this season, have not felt the best for far. But starting to feel better now.

Thank you, I am looking forward to a new season of riding. I saw the old house last year. It has taken a lot damage over the last year.

Did we ever go thru any old houses. I thing Al and I explored a few and maybe Sonia and her brother

@@Robnite55 No - I think I missed that fun - Maybe working at the Eric's Gas Station at the time

Thank you, I am looking forward to the additional footage from the drone.

Thank you, more videos to come once the weather improves in the great white north.

thank you for the reply. If we get a few warm days over a weekend I still would like to get out. I also have some maintenance on the bike to complete over the winter.
