Thank goodness it's spring, finally........

#1 Unread post by rosebob »

I am so delighted to have found this website. There is so much information on it, and I can see already all the books I'll be buying!! Well the bug has bit again!! I never thought I'd go back to riding but here I am at the ripe ole age of 53 (I can't belive I wrote that) and the wheels are calling back to me. I rode for approximately 20 years - my last bike was a Honda 600 cc cruiser - just a beauty with full fairings, big tank, more like a racer in style. I was really sorry when I sold it. So, now I'm doing the looking game and it just boggles my mind with what's out there now. I probably won't buy this year, but I want to soak up as much information from all you people out there to help me find my next bike. I'm looking at getting a touring one this time, but there are lots of choices. Spring has finally sprung here. We broke the snow record where I live and there's still a bit of it around. But the bikers are out..as they should be. Nice to greet you all. Hope to hear back from some of you.

You've still got snow?? Aaargh!! I guess the benefit comes in August, when everyone here and points south are hating the heat.

I think I missed summer and fall. It's winter here today. It is snowing in Vancouver on April 18. I think that may be a first.

Count your blessings if you have dry roads.
