Ron couldn't have picked a better time to come to my neck of the woods, perfect weather, no traffic (Schools aren't back in session yet), it was a good ride!

Was going to post this in the current POTW game “unexpected” but it was sort of planned. The Rusty Rail Brew Pub where my son sometimes tends bar held a car/bike show today. Some really great old cars, not many bikes, but very well attended. Highlights were a pair of Vmaxes. Wanted to chat with the riders but they didn’t seem interested so no pics. When I got there my son was already parked and registered. I parked next to him (didn’t register but did see some folks checking out my bike.) Did manage to get one pic of the boy next to his pride & joy, with mine there too (the boy and the bike). He didn’t win anything but we had a great time checking everything out.

Managed 7 sessions @ Ridge. Perfect day 70 degrees, but was surprisingly crowded for a weekday.
Lots of crashes, but only 1 red flag in my group.

This bike was fast, I had trouble keeping up on the straight on the 750.
Gusseted frame, F3 wheels, mono shock conversion, 39mm Keihins, a Ti pipe made by Freddy Spencer's HRC engineer & lots of internal goodies.

I went out for a short ride today too, not as nice as Mt. Tolmie but felt real good to get out. 8C sounds warm compare to here.

35c here lately. Headed up in elevation today to get into cooler temps. Good practice for this 69 year old guy to make sure I can still control and balance the GS1250 on the gravel. Place called Mabel Lake B.C.

Better hope you don't get a spark or fuel problem.

Headed out tomorrow morning for the Kootenays BC....it's about 750kms (470 miles)
6 days of riding in the mountains...we will get up over 6000ft too.
Staying at my favorite cabins outside Kaslo BC on the Kootenay Lake
What makes this really special is that 3 of my buddies from Ontario are Sprinter Vaning their bikes out and another buddy is coming in from Banff Alberta and they show up the day after me.
The forecast is hot hot hot! Probably going to take a day off to go out on a boat.
Driving my old truck off the Island for the first time since I've owned it....looking forward to it.
