Here's what I was forward to by an email, sounds interesting:

The idea is that we will have a full Police Drill Team escort from Trev Deeley Motorcycles to Jack Poole plaza downtown. As our convoy of motorcycles rolls into Jack Poole plaza the Olympic cauldron will be ignited to the sound of 110 bikes' roaring exhaust.

12 officers showed up on Road Kings:

Riders kept coming in after work:

More riders:

VPD Drill team escorted us to Olympic Cauldron

More bikes:

And they lit the Olympic Cauldron:

I tried Japanese Hotdogs for the first time, it was a very nice day:

I had a swell time. It started with this event on Friday and kept getting better during the weekend.

It's amazing to see how many people are coming out to these events with their spouses. I'm also seeing more female riders this Spring.

Missed another one. I have to get insured.
Al [a340driver] called to invite me on a ride today and I had to pass. I have a guy here now changing my hot water tank. So here I sit. Beautiful sunshine ... a real nice spring day.

Those who could do this ride but didn't really missed the possibility to ride without stopping from Deeley's all the way down to new Convention Centre.

VPD drill team blocked all the intersections for the convoy to ride non-stop. On a long stretch of Hastings St, I could see all the bikes ahead and behind me. It must've been some sight for the spectators.
