- October 18, 2014, 12:03:01 PMHere it is called Remembrance Day, in town all the local schools are bussed over to the local arena, the local Military units, regular and reserve forces, gather with the different Vet groups, and Legion groups and march to the arena, the have a few prayers, a wreath laying and then people go to the Legion for a small lunch and some hang about and talk to the old veterans and recall their old friends and pals.
K-a there are good points of living alone, having really nice hardwood floors, I do take proper precaution's, I put underlay on the floor first, then a sheet of 3/4" plywood, and then the bike is parked on that. Just like to get it moved before the first major snow fall, because I have seen people wait and procrastinate, and then wham they have to leave their bike in the shed or garage and not have time to do an oil change or do a proper winterizing because of the snow and fallen temps.

Normal we get snow the last part of Oct, and some times it stays other times it does not, but 15 Nov is snow time. I have my winter list of projects and mods ready to start.
that's awesome i wish i could bring ethel in the house but where my wife is concerned that like poking the sleeping bear lol. She would rip me to pieces

- October 18, 2014, 05:49:41 AMI think veterans day is probably on the 11th of November, we call it rememberance or armistice day, I dress up in a black suit and black overcoat and walk down to the war memorial in the local park where prayers are said and the English and Welsh national anthems are sung, wreaths are left at the memorial monument and we all wander off home in the rain..I'm not at all religious but I attend out of respect.

PC enjoy it.

- October 17, 2014, 15:10:41 PMMy Sqn does the Veteran's Day thing a touch different, we go to a small town in QC to help them out the Sat. before the 11th, the town Temiscaming, is really happy to see us, and they put on an awesome feed for us, Then they send a contingent over to North Bay to make the parade here nicer. We have been doing it for 20 some years now. Then on the 11th I'll be at the local service as a spectator. Bike is being parked the 31st of Oct, before the snows come.

- October 17, 2014, 13:37:09 PMIve been invited to do a veterans motorcycle escort to some jewish ww2 veterajs on a luxury bus from orange county to the jnland empire for a parade. After my first attempt at riding my bike was a failure and i lost 4 gallons of fuel in 5 miles. I was pushing the bike home when some jewish bikers stopped me an helped push my bike to gas station. Super nice guys very friendly very jewish lol beards the way they talked dressed to see them on bikes through me off a little but that led to my invite to ride with them om the escorting veterans to parade trip. I am not religious but i am very exciting to escort a large group of ww2 heroes anywhere regardless of their believes this is exciting for me. Got me wondering if any of you guys have any fun rides planned for veterans day
