      LOL...Thanks, but 10-15 years ago, the 600 mile break in would have taken just a few days...

        Got in a short one today...pretty chilly at first.
        No great photos, just a typical local road.
        169 miles to the end of break in.

            After a couple weeks of 20s-30s-40s and some days of ice and snow, was good to have 58degF this afternoon.

            So, yep, go for ride.

            Just a short ride out of town and then in town.
            THis time of year, without leaves, can see up into the dunes. SOme roads have dunes on both sides.
            Road in these two pics, turns and goes along the lake.

            Signs, signs, everywhere are signs.

            Was out for about an hour, when started to sprinkle.
            Ah, I can get wet some, was great to be out. But, sprinkles was turning to rain, so I headed home.

              My good friend Gary lives in Revelstoke BC and last week he had knee replacement surgery....he lives on his own and his daughter stayed with him until Sunday but had to get back to her young kids in Alberta....so I decided to come stay with him to help him out....I never thought I would be able to ride a bike from Victoria to Revelstoke in March.....but Sunday I did that....beautiful day too....got off the ferry at 10:50am and 640kms later at 5:15pm I rolled into my buddy's place. I was pretty sore....my rotator cuff has been giving me issues....
              The VFR was awesome!

                      My plan is I leave Sat afternoon and ride to Merritt....and then Sunday it's 3 hrs to the ferry and a couple of hours home.....two reasons....it's going to be too cold to leave here in the early morn and my shoulder is sore

                        I was sorting the electrical on my E in the unheated garage Sunday and I was pretty cold (like around 3c at 0900). So Trevor's pictures are nice but he had a cold ride. Have a safe trip back.

                          On Sunday the lowest temp I saw was 7c on top of the Coq....saw a high of 15c....I got to the mainland at 11am......it was a beautiful day....heated vest and grips and never felt cold for a second...in fact it was perfect for riding with all your gear on

                                that's an incredible collection of dirt bikes. I've never so much as ridden one (DR650 and KLR650 aside), but have always loved the looks of the late 70s-early 90s era of two stroke dirtbikes, the big bores especially.
