    Looks like a great day to me Greg.

    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

        LOL. I was down along 0 Ave last week while on a trip to see my brother in Ladner. See you found one of the new border markers.

          The clouds came and went, and in this case came in just in time for the awesome view photo opportunity so it wasn't so awesome...

          Curious how you gents came to know each other? I'd be excited to see another GS around here, much less 4 Katanas riding together.

            No pictures as I didn't see anything very noteworthy but I took a quick 3 hour jaunt down to Kentucky late this afternoon to hit a couple of nice roads and get away from home. Of course to do it in that time meant I was on the slab for the first and last 50 miles but I still enjoyed myself. I'm thinking I'll get out for a weekend of it next week though it's promising to be a bit colder than it was today.

              Yup, I love that road for some reason, just riding along an imaginary line, even though it's basically dead straight for 10KM.

              As soon as I saw those new markers I tried to find one that had flat ground to park on and it was a bonus to have Mount Baker in the background.

                Funnily enough it started via the GS Resources! I won't make this too long

                I joined here many moons ago due to having my GS450. Along the way I met some local people on here (one of them shares my postcode, the fella to my immediate left in the photo) and after my rebuild was done we started riding together.

                On one of our rides the Katana Australia fellas around here joined us, and then after joining that forum I discovered that a few of those guys met every Saturday for a morning ride just up the road from me.

                Of course after seeing Katanas up close and personal I got the itch for my own very quickly (I always liked them, just didn't realise I wanted one!), and the fellas occasionally throwing me the keys to theirs just encouraged me, and now I have my very own

                  No pics from me today as I didn't think anyone would enjoy the scenery. 476 miles of beauty between Omaha and Liberal Kansas. Man, talk about boring....... It ranks right up there next to watching paint dry.
                  I'm in the process of winterizing the Honda to it's temporary home in Mesa Arizona.

                    Godspeed Larry. Just a few more days of riding and you'll be into the good stuff! At least you're headed in the right direction for better riding weather.

                      In direction you are going, an other 400 miles, things will improve. Will see pics then, right?m

                      I do recommend this idea you have of having a bike stuck away in some warm place that you can visit in the winter. I further recommend that you visit there for more than a week or two a year.

                        I'll see what I can do Dave, although I'm not real fond of slowing for pics. When I do go there for visiting, it will definitely be for longer than just a week, more likely it will be 10-14 days at a time. This retirement thing is finally paying off.

                          I think it's cool too despite the numerous speedhumps along its length.

                              Jedz, I hope that's a typo and you meant 21", not 21'!!! 21" is bad enough.
