If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

Ice out?

Ice out?

Even though the brutal frost heaves have subsided some on the NH roads and temps are expected near 70 this weekend there is still plenty of ice on the back road ponds around here today. Shaking out the cobwebs for my daughter's new ride.

Man, that's quite a leap! 70 F with lakes frozen! Hope that's not flood country...But I'll bet you folks are glad to be out of winter ,floods or not!
 
I didn't go for a ride today, but I'm just over half way through a 22 hour drive, from Kitscoty AB to St. Fran?ois Xavier MB.

Long cold drive but it's worth it!!!!

SSCCCOOOORRREEEEEE! very nice indeed. I'm sure we'll see the details of the exchange in a future thread. You bringing that to the rally??

Trevor and I got out for a 300+ km ride today. Fantastic ride and day had by all. Stopped at a shop in Parksville to have a look at the new Royal Enfield, the "Continental GT". Looks kinda ok, but unfortunately it's still a Royal Enfield. Spotted an lower crankcase oil leak on one and just 'loved' the baffle weld that was painted over. All that being said it might be the right bike for the right person.

Regardless of the Enfield thrashing, had a great ride in fantastic weather,
 
Yes it was a great ride with AZR today! I installed an addition to my sport shield today. Should be good fro our trip later this month,

It needs a lot of work to be nice so I'm not sure it'll be ready for riding by the time of the rally.
I got 2 other bikes in line before it.

True to my experience, as soon as I got a new bike, the nice weather turned to s h i t.
This is what I woke up to this morning in Brandon MB.

This is the one in my signature that I talked about in that thread with the two T's for sale.
I paid for it over a month ago, just couldn't work out the logistics of getting it home until this weekend.
Paid $1000 for it. Might seem like too much but it's the only one I've ever seen for sale in the prairies in almost three years.
Tank is good, seat pan is good, it has engine mods and it runs!
Of course a thread will be coming very soon.

Well decent weather finally! And got the cleaned, rebuilt carbs back on the Trophy yesterday. (Also new airbox, boots, clamps, coils, petcock, and various missing fasteners)

Still got some work to do, but she is running 100 times better than when I brought her home last fall.







 
Beautiful Triumph. Bikes where the luggage is designed with the bike in mind look so much better......;)
 
Steel Toed Tank nice score post some pics when you get home and drive safe! Brian
