    Got the smoked screen.. RADAR DETECTOR????? In my previous life, I saw to it many people got tickets while having perfectly functioning radar and lazer detectors. Can't do the time, don't do the crime. Pardon my ignorance, what the hell are helibars? Have taken a liking to the Cortec Saddle and Seat bags talked about elsewhere on this site.

    Hi Jeff,

    I'm tied up with one of my boy's soccer tournaments until later in the afternoon. I'll have to pass on the morning scoot.
    Might try and get out later on.
    What's with this friggin' weather lately...a Russian outflow, I don't recall hearing that one before!

    I'm hoping to be in Vancouver in July with the BF (he has a BMW). If you're still coordinating rides - and our times match - maybe I can participate in a ride? We're headed down the coast this summer and then back to the Yukon.

    Ola viffergirl - as chomper said...let us know when you guys are passing thru. We are always looking for an excuse to ride!

    Jeff - I'll call/text if I can get out that way tomorrow. Have a good one.

    Cheers,
    Bryan

    That sounds like fun!
    We're travelling from the Yukon, inland to Vancouver, thru Washington to the coast and staying on the coast to Oregon. Then we're inland and up to Montana (for a BMW rally....I'll bring earplugs and my VFR sweatshirt and hat from VFRWorld - LOL!) and then thru Alberta and back up. It should take all of July. Last year we did a similar trip to Winnipeg, Manitoba - but not into the States. We're looking forward to it!

    Jeff,

    You touch this photo up or what? My hair is not that white!!! Yep it was a great ride. But then this was my first group ride other than one with co-workers last fall. They were all on cruisers though. No jam those guys. Those roads were sweet to say the least. I am looking forward to more of these.

    Any of you from outside our area and planning a trip though here should get hold of one of us. I'm sure we can make some arrangements for you to have a nice ride while here.
