I learned something about Ontario, Canada: Women are allowed to go topless,, legally! And yes I learned this by personal observation. Yowza!
OK, the bikes. There were bikes of every type, size, and modification. Incredible. I'm not sure how many people were there but I heard estimates of over 100,000. In spite of the crowd there wasn't a single instance of 'trouble' that I noticed. Everyone was friendly and well behaved.
We took lots of pictures and rather than put them all in here we did a couple of short montages.
The first is a bit of Port Dover ambiance, and me with the Hooter's girls.
Next is the bikes.
And here's some video of the constant stream of bikes into, and through, and around the town.
There were plenty of 'characters' there as well. Here's a shot of Paul with a costumed couple.
There's lots more but we'll try to get more up onto the site over the next few days or so.
The last leg of the trip is coming up. We'll be heading out on Monday through upstate NY and into Pennsylvania.
Thanks for following along with us. We love to get your comments.
Best,
-Phil

Phil - you really haven't been 'home' for a while, have you? Topless rights for women in Ontario came about thanks to Gwen Jacob. While you're in Ontario, maybe you could track her down and say "Thank you!" :-)

Hello Paul and Phil:
It was nice to meet you guys and I hope you had an awesome time. Estimates of 150,000 people and 30,000 bikes.
Perhaps you will join us for the one and only in 2010, August and it will be the 50th event.
Cheers and ride safe.
... Lynn
