Day thirteen, my last day of the trip. Not because I want it to end but because I have to get the bike fixed.

So after spending yesterday visiting with an old friend, today is trying to travel 150 kilometres so I can get my free tow from CAA. (...)

Today I wake up some what early to get a lot of stuff done. 

I go out and have a good look at the bike. Besides the missing catalytic converter and the muffler the only other damage I can see is a dent in the sidecar fender. I have a look at the front end and it looks straight and even but I think a see a small bend on the front brake rotor. I can ride with the brakes as they are so nothing I can do there. (...)

So the plan today was to hop on the ferry, trip around Manatoulin Island and then head up to Massey and grab a campground. Well some of that happened. 

Got to the ferry late so I had to go in the standby line but luckily I got on.

Todays big plans were to check out Goderich and visit a co-worker just south of Goderich. 

When I drove into town I saw a section of the street blocked off. I asked what was going on and was told there was a show and shine going on. What the hell I said for ten dollars why not.

Paid my money, parked the bike and enjoyed the bikes that came in. I did not win any of the four categories but I did win a door prize of a t-shirt and an ice cream cone! (...)
