    Went out to run an errand and a little 2 stroke entered the highway just ahead of me. We were going to the same shopping center and I parked with him amongst some other old bikes. Apparently it is a weekly get together of old farts who have vintage bikes!

    His bike is a 1964 Suzuki T10, a 250cc. It was a barn find in Ontario and his grandfather restored it!

          They meet every Saturday at 11:30 at a chinese restaurant in the Royal Oak shopping center. There were about 16 guys there yesterday, and not much dark hair to be seen! One of the guys has a Vincent Black Shadow that he bought for $100,000 and then spent another $10,000 on it to bring it up to his standards! I went in and met a few of them, they're a friendly group for sure!

            Here's my morning run down hwy 113. It was very cold so I cut it short today--I need to do an oil change anyway.

              Nice. I watched the weather all week hoping to ride to a class for work yesterday... I woke at 6 am and it was 27 degrees out

                Same here.
                Expecting 2-8 inches of snow over the next couple days. My family blames me for the cold Spring because I got the bike.

                  Was out running some errands when I decided to stop by at Government House. This is where the Queen stays on her visits to Victoria, Prince Charles and whichever wife he has at the time stays here as well as any of the Royals. The grounds are amazing gardens that are maintained by volunteers, however the deer are eating their hard work and the volunteers are getting tired of it!

                    Still a little cold here......but I decided to pull the Suzuki out of the garage and fire it up.

                    Even though I expected it, it was really nice that it fired up in a matter of seconds, after sitting for several months.

                    I'm hoping to put a good couple hundred miles on the S this season!

                      Agrees Vmass....My 1100e fired nicely in the garage after sitting many months....my driveway is a giant hill and is still covered in slushy snow.....I could get out for a ride but I would never get back up the hill.
                      Looking forward to many enjoyable miles this year. Just put insurance on her this morning. Good times.

                        We are pretty clear of snow, just the piles where my plow pushed the snow remain.

                        Heard some chatter about a 50 degree day coming up. Not ideal, but better than what we've had.

                        The weather guru's are predicting a cold wet spring, not welcome after such a snowy winter.

                          Man, I feel sorry for you guys living in the USA...you sure get a lot of snow! You should move to Canada where you can ride all year long. It was in the 60s today!

                            Got the girl back together the other day and rode her for about 40 miles today. Felt awesome, really notice all the upgrades. Life is beautiful.
