High_Sides Trips and Pics
As I get the odd comment that I ramble more than I post pictures I`ll post more miscellaneous 2011 shots from the depths of my computer. The bike show is now a memory and posting pictures will be my therapy to help me make it through to springtime :
Welcome to the U.S.A.! We assume it was for the recent paving chips, but maybe they don't like our kind 'round here
Looking back down the twisty snake that is the road out of Enterprise Oregon
Checking out the scenery on the biway....
A dirty VFR at rest. I`m gonna squeeze all of the shots that I can in of this awesome old motorcycle before it finds a new home with a new owner this spring
Decision time
And finally the little Ducati at rest on Victoria Park in Calgary with the construction of the nearly completed 60-ish story Bow Tower in the background.
It's hard to believe that I didn't notice what looks like a road-apple sneaking in to this shot....

Re: High_Sides Trips and Pics
Awsome stuff
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R

Re: High_Sides Trips and Pics
I managed to get the 'Duke out for a ride again yesterday - the fourth of February - in Calgary! It was 12 deg., the streets were bare (with the exception of gravel everywhere), and I had to unplug my heated vest to prevent myself from overheating. We often get great weather in the winter here (during the Olympics that were held here in '88 everyone was walking around in t-shirts), but this year is exceptional. Due to work I did not ride in January but I easily could have, and I have ridden every other month of the winter thus far. Awesome.

Re: High_Sides Trips and Pics
And now ends another chapter The old Viffer is now a casualty of my two-personal-bike limit that has been imposed by the Management. It really is a truly great motorcycle and I am lucky that the guy who bought it seriously appreciates it as much as I did...
So long old buddy....
And now what? Well, I am going to give 172 hp a chance! My new ride arrived on the weekend just one day before I sold the old one and I'm pumped. I couldn't get used to the styling when it first came out in '10 and now it is growing on me. In the sunlight the paint looks like it is an inch thick, and the looks are really growing on me. I hope she is as amazing as the old one!
The two Viffers short time together...
This should be a great year for riding!

Thanks Buddy. I don't think it will really hit home that the old Vif is no longer mine until they show up on Sunday to pick it up....sapaul wrote:Happy bike day mate, I have no doubts you will enjoy the new boney, always a little heartsore to let the older ones go but like you say, only room for so many.

Re: High_Sides Trips and Pics
Know how you feel, my bottom lip was quivering when I let our big red go, and it was not even my bike, it was The Goose's. Honestly though no hardship making room for the replacements.
