    ...ya thanks for the ride guys - my knee caps are just warming up now!

    Nice to meet you Tammy. You're a brave women to ride on the back of that rocket :smile:

    Next "round" is on me


    Hey 34468 - not sure about the store for your switch. I like to check motovan.com for cdn prices. If it's not too out of line..you can order them at almost any dealer...usually comes in a couple of days.

    Kingsley, Thanks for putting the list idea out there and for the pm, I did not get a chance to check it until Sun so I missed out. Look forward to hooking up with you all in the next few months.

    Hey guys please add me to your list. I'm a slow fair weather rider but would like to ride with some fellow VFR owners. Probably won't insure the bike until April.

    Cheers,

    Hi Guys,

    I live in Victoria, but I am back and forth to Van a fair bit. Would like to get out for a ride with some fellow VFR's. Please add me to your list.

    Cheers

    Hey Bryan..... Ill be there...still planning on going.... judging by the # of posts should be a big turn out. if we get a few of us out maybe we could hit some back roads on the way back.

    Sounds good Jeff, I'll look for you there. Yes - back roads for sure. I hope they don't all want to ride #7 all the way to Harrison.

    The forecast is looking better. If the sun out - there could be 100 bikes.

    Gotta tell you guys, the ride into town to work at 02:30 this morning was FREAKING COLD. I have ridden in colder temps but I guess the air was really damp and it was windy to boot. Hope it warms up for that ride this weekend. I gotta do my taxes to see how much more of MY money the government really should have so don't think I will make it.

    Indeed to everything. On the way to work I was thinking I might run into snow. It had been raining and temps were hitting 1c. Taxes really suck.
    Last year they hit me pretty hard. But if you don't pay your taxes, I don't get my pension check. And guess what bought my VFR. Look'n out the window right now looks promising but the my boy is going to Australia mid to late April. He has very limited money so I am wanting to get his taxes done soon as well. 'Bout time that boy stood on is own and the old man played more.

    Ya - that was a good day! I liked the noise when 100 bikes fired up...kinda like performance thunder!

    Thanks for the tour of Sumas Mtn. (u-turns OK!), I'd never been up there before.

    I'll PM you about pictures
