For those in the East you can meet us at Timmies at Victoria Park just north of the 401 at 9:30
Let us know if you are coming so we can let the restaurant know. Please bring FRS radios if you have them.

 

[Lakeshore]

I'm in

I'm in

Awesome! Sounds good

Also if anyone needs a FRS Radio, I will be able to lend it for a 10$ Gas Card HEHE! Cheers!

 

[Lakeshore]

Oh, that's right. I need to buy a radio. Any suggestions from experience?

 

[Jonathan]

I really would have enjoyed the trip - unfortunately Saturday is always a work day - look forward to eventually meeting up one day - Vic Park/401 is just around the corner from me.

 

[Marc]

I be going. See you at Vic Park Timmies at 9:30am

 

[Lakeshore]

All you guys with radios and no recommendations? I don't want to get stuck buying something crappy or with a poor battery. Please help!

 

[Marc]

Adam, are you a member of Costco? I would get the Motorola GMRS radios that they sell at costco.

 

[Marc]

Just make sure they are GMRS radios and NOT FRS. Reason is that GMRS radios have sub-channels and the FRS radios, do not. We are always on channel 6 - sub-channel 5.

 

[Marc]

I recommend the pair on the left....the yellow ones. Those are the same that I have.

I think one of our members on SCO on FB was saying that he purchased the same radios recently and they were cheaper than what they show. I think he paid something like $42, but that was a couple weeks ago.

 

[Lakeshore]

Thanks for the info Marc. I'm going to go look at purchasing a set tonight!

 

[BikerDad]

have fun. I will be doing something similar in October. I will be taking mine to the smoky mountains. I have been there before, but this will be the first in the kia. I plan on running the blue ridge parkway, and some other side roads. I will probably go to cades cove too. I don't know about parsons branch road yet, but I think it will do it. its a gravel back road, but its hard packed and well maintained. shoot, if my focus will do it, I know the kia will.

 

[DjRUbenP]

You could do one of two things. I just got mine from costco, and they only have the 3 pack for 69.99 plus tax. If you would like, I could let you borrow one for the day , just give me a heads up and ill bring the extra ones.

Can't make it this Saturday guys. Have fun.

Hey Marc,

I went out last night to buy a set of GMRS radios, later to find out they don't support 'private codes' (sub-channels). I'm not sure I'll have the time to make it out tonight to buy another set, do you have one I can borrow for the day?

[Lakeshore]

Sorry guys, I don't think I'll be making it anymore. I had a brutal day at the office and things have spilled over onto my Saturday. Enjoy the cruise.

 

[Jonathan]

Here’s an early photo of some of the EastEnders meeting at Timmies this morning.

Although I couldn’t make the cruise was able to run out for 30 minutes to meet with them - great bunch of guys and gals - would have loved breaking bread with them.

 

[MT-ED]

Great to put a face to the name Jonathan. Looks like Marc has a styling rival now. Look at you rockin' the red shoe-laces :encouragement:
Couldn't make it today, but hope to meet you soon.

 

[TO Scootz]

Didn't make it <sigh> , in part because I didn't check to see what's coming up but mostly because I was too busy..........................picking up this little beauty.
