I know a guy who actually hid the fact that he had an M license so he WOULDN'T be made a bike cop... Can you imagine? "What, you want me to spend my whole shift riding around town on a cool motorcycle YOU'RE going to pay for just to be seen and you're going to pay me? No thanks"

Try Google "my maps". 'Better for route planning

The demo day FJR I rode had crash damage. Busted up fairing. I'm sure whomever did it walked away with no more an an "Ooops, sorry".

Manufacturers look at demo days as marketing investment. The demo days generate sales, brand loyalty, and free word-of-mouth advertising. The fuel, insurance, and event staffing costs are legal corporate advertising expenses. They wouldn't do it if it didn't benefit them financially

I'm headed to the Okanagan July 10th. Maybe we'll end up adding to the "I saw you" thread... lol

Sadly, John Candy and Joe Flaherty are both gone...

Lol... classic SCTV. They made a sequel to the original Goin' Down the Road"... "Goin' Down the Road, Again" When I found it I got really excited... What a f***** let down. Worse than a Halmark movie. Not only was the script/story a cringe.. It seemed like they ran out of money hslf way...

Oh boy.... Lol. Yep. My last ride... from about Winnipeg to Brandon... Trying to ride without being blown off the hwy.. Exhausting... Found some shelter from the wind off the hwy at Deleau in a neat little municipal park. A guy from Toronto on a Goldwing going east found the same spot... 'told...

Doubt. The scale of the area is immense. Every farm could have every combine and truck out working and you wouldn't really notice. 'Been there done that several times... 'Never had an issue.

If you're Canadian you gotta watch "Going' Down the Road" at least seven times in your life. Second would be "The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz"

'Done it several times... Doing it agsin soon, leaving July 10th for BC. Getting around Winnipeg is always a chore. 'Fortunately its a small % of the entire trip. This year Im going to dip south at Ste Anne and wrighle down to the Red Coat trail...'avoiding the TC

The bouncing Czech... Lol Frank and Family were my neighbors when I was a kid. Circa '73- into the 80s. He gifted me a Yamaha 250 when I was about 9 or 10... wasn't running (or maybe my parents hid the key) My little brother and I had fun pushing each other up/down the driveway tho... Man, time...

My one buddy went from KLR Army guy to BMW F800GSA guy and now he dry heaves at the mere mention of the KLR. He's also now into dudes. At one point he had three KLRs. 'Few winters ago we managed to put one KLR together by canabizing the other two. Dead simple to work on thats for sure.

Arrived two days prior to expected... Ahhhhh the whiff of fresh rubber:) On a more serious note... Regarding Dashboard Jesus... Should he face forward to better keep an eye on traffic... Or... Rearward as since he can see all it doesn't really matter which way he's looking?
