anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

[Sandy]

Did you check the forecast Trev ?

I just did. 60% chance of showers and high of 6c. Brrr. But then it is a ski area. Them islanders ....think all of Canada is balmy.

I did too and the forecast I saw showed mixed rain and snow continuing into tomorrow. Assuming Trev was on the ferry when he posted he should be alright with the high of the day........

Depending on your definition, maybe it is the Islanders that are balmy!

  Henry and I went for a 222 mile ride yesterday, quite cool up near 4000' of elevation at frozen Leighton Lake.

I played hooky for 3 hours yesterday and explored some of the area around me. Weather was perfect, traffic was light, and no cops in sight (thank goodness!) Lots of nice views and twisty roads in middle TN. Came across this dam at the end of fun curvey section of road.






The high side


The low side




Then came across this scenic overlook on the other side of the lake.



All in all a very pleasant day on two wheels. Can't wait to get back out again...

[Buffalo Bill]

Nice country, looks like a Suzuki you're riding?

[trevor]

You guys are funny! Lol
i was going to take the 9 ferry but got my bike all packed up and it wouldn't start... Like dead battery...waited then it started. So went straight to my BMW dealer they toll it in and it had some corrosion around the terminal connectors. So I caught the 11 ferry. Got to whistler at 2:20 lol.... I love the sea to sky!!! Lots of traffic going through Vancouver but but 99 was empty and I flew!
Cold doesn't bother me but snow and ice does. Roads were dry as a bone with it getting down to about 5 at the top. And yes I checked the weather obsessively for the last 4 days! Nothing like getting paid to ride your motorcycle to whistler and get mileage too! 😃😜
nowh here's hoping Friday afternoon cooperates too. I send Gary some pics I took of it up here if doesn't mind posting them. Cheers guys

HAHA... 71' (22'C) here in "Cold A$$" Vermont... Raking some big miles! Funny to think it's (Much)colder over in BC... 250 miles on between 2 bikes today!!!


Finished the 150 miles on the Connie...


Finished the day doing what the Connie does best!


GROCERY GETTING!!!!!!


Like that Bandit 12.5 GBW!

dragged the skunk les pew out through the mud today. took the main baffle out of the delkevic exhaust to see what it was like and have some fun. it likes it that way i think. too loud for people though.

[dorkburger]

Seeing that dirty ass Skunk on a dirt road puts a smile on my face. I love it.

This is from Monday when I made another foray into the blue armed with my dash cam.

It was quite cold and maybe not the best day to wear a new open face helmet.

Thank you for the video. I learned something in 20 seconds I didn't know, UPS delivers in England. I paid $65 to send 4 pounds to the UK today and I needed an alternative! I may suggest that you find an alternative place to mount the camera because as lovely as the scenery is, it's a bit "right cheeky". Thank again.

I'm envious of you Trevor!

[Rob S.]

189 miles today - most since I got back on 17 months ago. 12 Harleys and one each from the big four Jap. I was the only one without a windshield.

Don't be Charlie, it's snowing right now. Lol...�� Never saw another bike up here today. Funny riding by people carrying skis and snowboards. No wonder people looked at me weird.��
Its pretty ironic being in whistler for an addictions conference... All you can smell is weed everywhere... Lol

UPS and all the other big players operate in the UK.

As for the cam position, it's mounted on the rear indicator so that give me 3 alternatives and a choice of directions. Still experimenting with it but I'll try a new location next time.

I think you dodged a bullet here Trev. No rain up to about 3 o'clock but after a front moved in and it was blowing and raining pretty hard. Here are the photos Trev sent me.........
