Hmmmm...... think I need to sell some bikes:



(The two on the right are for sale -- there's an '05 Bonneville under that green cover.)

We went for a quick ride today with one of Carrie's friends from work and her husband, up across Trapper's Loop and into Huntsville for dinner at Carlos & Harley's. Great ride and great people, looking forward to more group rides in the future.

I travelled home from Lillooet today. Via Lytton and Hope. The mountain sheep were at the roadside..so I stopped....It's always exciting to see wildlife.

There were lots of bikers out this weekend...Duffy Lake Loop , Hwy 12 and Fraser Canyon...it was a glorious weekend. I'll try to get my bike on the road next weekend.

Took the Tigger in for its 500 mile service today. Glad that's done- now I can start using a little bit of the revs! Initial break in period limits you to 5000 rpms, which sounds like a lot, but limits you to 72 mph. That's not fast enough for morning rush hour on my commuting roads. Redline is just shy of 10000 rpms, and I get to start using that in increasing amounts over the next 500 miles.

Looked at a potential new place to live just in case baby brother pulls a nasty on me. Dropped another C$650 getting the cage's ignition sorted, new plugs and leads. I'd would of done it myself, but a transversed V-6 front wheeled drive car means 3 of the plugs up against the cabin firewall, and my fat fingers don't fit well. Cruised the local Craigs List and found a 98 Triumph Trophy with only 85K's on the clock (that's barely broken in for that motor) up for sale in White Rock for C$3800. Checked my bank account on line, then curled up into a ball and whimpered like a little girl.....shy about C$3200.

I want this....or your gray one!!!!!

I licensed my motorcycle and did a pre ride inspection, pumped up the tires to proper pressure, made an appointment for an oil change....collected my gear...some a bit snug after the winter....working on that though.

Going for the refresher day tomorrow.

I might just look for a Porsche while I'm out to snag the riding game picture.

Sorry. The Bonneville and the V-strom are for sale. The 'gray pig' however is staying put right where she is!

ooooo, that's a pity, oh well too bad. Oh right, on a total unrelated note and complete off the topic at hand, what was your address again? I am planning on paying you a late night visit with a cube van in the near future.
