I just got back into riding two years ago. I put on just over 20,000km last year from Mar. to Nov. Most of it was just commuting to work, and more than just a few longer rides, ie: Vancouver to Calgary to see my daughters. :roll2:

My god-father was a motorcycle racer, (Indian) and raced with his best friend, (Trev Deeley) all over Canada and the States. They loved the Daytona races the best, down the beach and back up the highway. Every summer, Trev would give my god-father a loaner to use for a few weeks. I got my first tast...
