Stephen Mius and his wife, Chantal Leonard of Ottawa, attended Port Dover for the first time on Friday the 13th.
“People were telling us about it, but we never wanted to travel all day from Ottawa for just one day here,” Mius said. “But now we have a car home and we put the bikes in a trailer and came to camp for four days.”
Leonard’s Harley-Davidson Street Glide from 2017 attracted a lot of attention as people walked along Walker Street.
Meuse said he built his wife’s motorcycle, which includes 250 hours of airbrushed artwork on the theme of the Mexican Day of the Dead.
Leonard said her bike was ranked eighth at several bike shows in Toronto, but the couple likes to ride away in their car house and then explore small towns with their bikes.
“Most of our friends come here every time it’s Friday the 13th, and this year we said we do,” she said.
“We are so happy to get out, now that there are fewer COVIDs. We reached the beach and stepped into the water. It was very cold.”
OPP had a strong presence throughout the city on Lake Erie.
This is the only Friday, the 13th of 2022. Next year there will be two: in January and in October.
