2 wheel models

One thing you can always find at the Motorcyle show is Models, and I don't mean the newest version of the bikes, I mean the flesh and blood versions!

One group that can always be counted on is Amsoil, as they are at a lot of shows with models, including these four!





Honda had a few models, including one of my favourites, Theresa, a model/sunshine girl who I've seen around lots of shows in Toronto.





Lots of other booths had some models as well!

Motorcylce Show

The Metro Convention Centre was filled with motorcycles of every description, from small childrens bikes, to large riding bikes, to a bunch of three wheelers, and all the equipment needed to play with these toys!

I'm always amazed at just how big bikers are now adays.
My memory of bikes is always of small versions, but now, they are huge beasts!



Ducati bikes had a large presence at the show.



All the bikes were shinny new, and lined up to show off their lines.





Honda also sponsored a BMK bike zone, where a group of 6 riders impressed the crowds with their skills,



including a jump over the host!

cold Santa!

Every year, a collection of brave runners gather at Hemingway’s Restaurant, have themselves a quick beverage, strip down to their Speedo's and take a lap around the Yorkville area!
Matt Freeman, here leading the group of runners,



is the originator/organizer of the event, which has raided over 180 thousand dollars for the Sick Kids organization.

The runners come out of the warmth of the restaurant, into the cold of the street!



The group runs through traffic on Yorkville,



And I bet the drivers on the road where not expecting this when they turned down the street!



After making a few laps, the group gathered for a team shot,



before they broke up into small groups to pose for the crowds.

Mega Santa

Burlington Ontario was home to the most Santa's I have seen in one spot!
The Santa 5k was held early Saturday morning, in the crisp sunshine of the day.
Over 3800 santa's were on hand at the start of the race in downtown Burlington, as they travelled a 5k route. There were so many Santas, that it didn't take long for the last one to cross the start line before the winners had started to arrive at the finish!

women of the MMA

The International Centre was host for a show on Mixed Martial Arts. There were a bunch of guys from the UFC there, but more important was the number of models on hand to keep the crowd happy!

Blah Blah Blah, on to the pictures!
