    Yes I went Bogus Basin Rd halfway.Road goes up to ski resort eventually above Boise,Idaho. It was 45 F outside, a little chilly. But sure is a fun road with lots of twistys. Probably will be last ride until spring with some more wet weather due in.....we need it. Ski resort has not opened yet and not much snow up there.

          'Twas five days before Christmas,
          And the roads were a mess,
          Not a moto was stirring,
          Except for Project GS.


          Well, maybe there were a few bikes out... Island Motorrad had their Christmas Chili Cookoff and Open House today and I was one of a dozen or so whackjobs who braved the wind and rain (and +11 degree temp) and worked my way down on two wheels. And occasionally one.











          If I win 6/49, you will be mine!

            Buser, I had never even heard of that model before. SWEET! Under 400 pounds wet, 130HP and 85 ft.lbs. of TQ.

              Hope the chili was worth it. Was that 11? C or F ?

                  I went to the BMW event too. It was also a fundraiser for my neighbour Mike who is a Saanich cop. Pouring rain, wind gusts up to 80kms....perfect day for riding. Lol....got in a 100km (63miles) ride today.
                  New BMW cop bikes...


                  We think alike Dave, I also took pics of my lotto winning purchase...lol



                  Check out that price!!





                  A milestone today...22000kms (14200miles) in 11 months....not too shabby for living in the Great White North!

                        Winter Solstice? Sounds like a good reason to go for a ride!











                        Oh yeah.

                              No pix, but rode over to atsion st.pk. & back on some county roads to clear out the cobwebs in the bike & in my head. It's been a tough season at the store.
