I swear that you posted this exact same post a few years ago as F150. I think the entertainment value is gone - if there ever was any.

I am just giving some friendly advice from life lessons I have learned and the mistakes I have made in the past so other people don't make the same mistakes I made,,, I know there are other good looking people out there that have the same problem where they think their good looks are a curse and they think less of themselves cause everybody shuns them cause they are good looking,,, now I have learned, now when people hate me just because I am good looking i take it as a compliment, now I take advantage of my good looks and show it off with pride, I have learned to get ahead and charm people with my good looks .

We put 320 miles on Rented Harleys in Arizona yesterday and saw less that 20 other bikes the entire day! The weather was cooler up high in Flagstaff but if it was this nice in Calgary EVERYONE who owns a bike would have been riding it :)

New Mexico spring weather has been nothing short of spectacular! We have been hovering in the high 70's and low 80's these past few weeks. Scary actually!

Left over sand from traction sand spread on the roads due to icy conditions. They dump a crap load all over the roads up here and it takes a while for it to wash off via rain. Niagra is a beautifull area to visit, if you do decide to go have a great visit. Don't forget you need a passport for boarder crossing between Canada and the USA now. (I go across the boarder a few times a month.) also be aware crossing at the bridge in niagra falls can be time consuming, I recommend any other crossing actually.

I know all about that sand. Damn near took my leg off, years ago. They've been using a liquid deicer, hear, for a while now. Still sand in spots. It washes away pretty quick. Usually pours (rain) immediately after it snows. We can have a foot of snow, for a week ... then, all of a sudden it's gone. Makes the shoulder more dangerous, that is where it all ends up. That and some in the center. It's all but gone in a couple weeks. Had the face shield ice up a few weeks ago. But the weather, here, is improving.

Butter Tarts and Nanaimo Bars alone will make the trip worthwhile.
