I just go my license last August and took until mid-October to get an old fixer-upper 1980 Honda CB650C on the road. I road until mid-late November here in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. I finally got out and running on Sunday and have only had time to put about 20km on it. It was hard going into the shed and only being able to look at it! LOL!

I am so happy that the warmer weather is SLOWLY getting here. I must say I was a quite nervous getting on it again, but it was GREAT once I got going again!

Keepin' it between the lines!

Yes, I can attest, it is +21°C today and I just came back from a few hours of riding! :D It was even beautifully sunny out with a very light breeze. (please sent any hate mail to: [email protected])

LOL (about the "Hey wait a minute" part). Sorry to hear you are stuck in Borden on a course... Is it for the Army/Army Cadets? I was there myself at CFB Borden a long time ago.

LOL... 16 is not 21. (especially since Calgary weather changes every 5 mins) :P But that's really nice for Calgary IF it happens!

16 for us tough bikers is equal to about 25 for our London Cousins :P
