Royal Enfield back in Canada




For enthusiasts of vintage motorbikes, Royal Enfield is back!
The return of the vintage motorcycle lineup to Canada has snagged much attention at Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver bike shows, and keeps show attendees returning to the Royal Enfield booth to get a second and third glance at a new way of riding in Canada.

Bullet Electra EFI - The original

The Bullet Electra is the vintage motorcycle. Simplistic in design, robust and reliable, the Electra looks and sounds like a British single, but with a significant performance boost, excellent fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions, all a result of the new unit construction engine and electronic fuel injection.


The Electra's greatest quality is versatility. No other Royal Enfield model has the ability to be customized like the Electra, allowing every rider to discover their own individuality by accessorizing. Whether it is the old Bobber, Cafe Racer, or side car you are looking for, the Electra is the perfect model for making your bike an original.

Canada's Prime Minister.......Stephen Harper sings Beatles song with Yo Yo Ma



Harper shocked the audience by coming on stage and sitting at a grand piano. With Ma on cello, along with two guitarists and a drummer, they performed the classic Beatles hit, with Harper providing the lead vocals.

CBC's Evan Solomon, who attended the gala, said Harper's performance stunned and wowed the crowd, and received high praise even from members of opposition parties who were also there for the evening.

Sui Sha Japanese Restaurant

Sunday, we decided to drive into Richmond for some Japanese Sushi at the Sui Sha Restaurant...Excellent service and fresh food.

Crossing the Alex Fraser Bridge...which was unusually not busy...Alex Frase Bridge



Our Friend decided to ride there anyway



Our friendly driver



The destination



The menu...all you can eat for $ 22.95 but the rule is you have to finish what's on your plate...any items you leave will be added to the bill at $0.50 per piece...they figure they avoid wastage this way...who knows if it really works...



After dinner we decided to go to the hangars and catch pictures of airplanes landing



First plane coming in....
