      Got home from work....
      over 50 degrees...
      had to ...
      had to go for ride...

      Was quicker to get out the Shadow (GK further back in corner).

      Went for a short ride.
      Even 45 minutes was good.



      Feel better now.
      Have survived another winter.

              Frigid day today... 36'F or 2' C. Warmest day this week, well that's what the forecast is saying so I took the GSX out for a little run. I added some handle bar risers and made a huge difference in ride comfort.

              This Saturday I pick up the GSF1200!!! I'm soooo excited to have it back as an option to ride, I will likely use it often for commuting. The B-12 is a great bike. Let the count down begin!!!

              Also hope winter lets go soon. Tomorrow it's suppose to be 32' F or 0'C and Wednesday 22'F or -6'C Bummer

                Rode to work today...nice day.


                Over looking Victoria and the Pacific from Mt. Tolmie







                Then after a day of work I took the 83 out for a little spin. Loving the new exhaust. Very sweet sound around 6000rpm





                I picked up a couple of exhaust can plates and just placed this one on it. I like it.

                        Went out on my favorite little bike before dinner for a quick 75km ride. Rain coming tomorrow and who knows when I will get out again, soooo.... Man I don't ride this bike enough! So much fun and it's running the best it ever has since I bought it in 2011.

                          last week we actually got above freezing temps and the roads cleared up enough to ride so i dragged "the ugly" out of the shed. had to move the snowblower out of the way of course.




                          i actually rode about 100 miles over two days. it felt great.



                          of course my gixxerpunk kid was riding before me. he's got a bit of a competition going with the harley guys where he works and i think he won this one cuz he rode to work at 5am when it was about 15 degrees still.




                          it's colder now and snowed again and the snowmobiling conditions are less than perfect so i'm ready for the occasional bike ride days. we're getting there....

                            That's an interesting Vetter shield you have there, what did you use to cut it?

                                Took a ride this morning south of Camanche Lake and across Pardee Dam. Nice roads and scenery.


                                Pardee dam is in the background of this pic.
