The walkers included students, blue and white collar workers and plenty of business people in suits.

I'm off to this years National Australian Velocette Rally...some 900km from my home, up in northern NSW at Lennox Head....
My good friend Mick Felder from California has flown in, is travelling up with me, and will ride one of my bikes.......
Perhaps a blog report when I return in a week and a bit.....
Meanwhile a sort of pot pouri of pics to tide you over......
Left click on the images to enlarge......

Royston Hill Climb, UK...John Griffith's Brough Superior.
From a French "Moto Revue" road test in 1927.....
I've likely included this before, but though I no longer have the KTT-348 license plate, the Rover 2000 TC or the KTT Mk.8, I still like the photo.....
Ewald Kluge, Baron von Oetzen and Green the Melbourne DKW agent, Northcott Avenue, Canberra before their unsuccessful attempt on raising the australian 250cc land speed record, 1938.
Mk.8 KTT on the Velocette stand at the November 1948 Earles Court Motorcycle Show, London.
Jim Day holds DQ's 1967 VMT Velocette on the start line of the 1971 Castrol 6 hour production machine race, prior to the Le Mans start.
The title for this was....Santa and some lucky Velomans Mk.8 KTT for Christmas....but you don't fool me-sure looks like Gert Boll......
Possibly the South Australian TT races at Lobethal in 1939...L to R...
George Wade,J. Stewart, Frank Mussett and George Hannaford...
You can inspect the Velos and determine their models.....

Due to Jimmy request... I will show the before and after comparison of my original and new intake system.
The major difference between the original and current air intake system is the original resonator box and short ram pipe was removed; replace with a longer ram pipe with air funnel.

MV Agusta have announced that their Brutale 990R will be available in a brand new colour , ice white, but only 5 will be coming to the UK. The 144bhp (1090RR), the Brutale is one of the most powerful naked streetbikes available!
Ride safe

Toronto is fortunate to have several world class museums where you can see artifacts and art from times gone by - and some current stuff as well. The Art Gallery of Ontario building is also interesting with it's curved windows along Dundas Street and it's silver staircase out back facing onto a large city park.
Certainly the changes to the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) and it's new crystal  facade has stirred up some controversy but inside you will find exciting worlds to visit and it doesn't need a boring building to scare people away (the dinosaurs inside might scare some of the youngsters though).
We also have major outdoor art festivals including Luminato and Nuit Blanche. Nuit Blanche, the all night art thing is this Saturday, October 2nd starting at 6:57pm. There are so many installations for Nuit Blanche so you need to review and pick out your primary and secondary locations that you want to visit. You need secondary locations because the crowds are immense and sometimes you don't want to wait forever. Remember that art is in the eye of the beholder because a lot of the time you will say "it's cool, but is it art?" and even if you don't think it is art it still is exciting to spend the night with the crowds of Toronto exploring cool things.

Recently I got a chance to came across a Taiwan's Swift owner letting go his Boss目 Air Intake system. Without much thought I had purchase the air intake system from the seller.
After it's arrival, I installed the intake system on my car last weekend.
I had tested it for few days and able to feel more punch during low rpm with better pickup too; this is good for daily driving situation.
I also noticed during cruising; I only need to pedal lighter than before to get the car maintain the speed too.
Still not really tested on the performance during higher rpm... definitely will try it out soon...

I have heard of the Ride to Conquer Cancer but today I found out about Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer benefiting The Princess Margaret and presented by Boston Pizza. To promote the event there was a road hockey game at Yonge-Dundas Square with members of the media battling celebrities which came down to a shoot out between the two teams. The media was in black and celebrities were in red jerseys and Carlton the Bear was a goalie, oh yeah, the celebs kicked ass.
The Road Hockey fundraiser is scheduled for next year on October 1, 2011 and will be an all day tournament.  "This Dawn-to-Dusk fundraising event will feature an unprecedented number of spirited road hockey games, as well as musical acts, celebrity appearances, interactive activities, food and beverages, and so much more! If you enjoy a challenge, being part of a team and donating your time and effort to an amazing cause, this is the event for you."
