I'm in Phoenix now. But am also from Spokane,Wa.
It's seems like you should be out shoveling snow eh?hehe
I rode up from Spokane to the Ainsworth Hot Springs a couple years ago. Very beautiful country you have up there.
I've been told by many US folks that have visited western Canada, "it is some of the most scenic in North America.
cheers
I grew up on the west coast of B.C. so I was use to seeing the mountains all the time, I rode my dirt bikes in them when I was a kid.
Yep, Calgary based. Mostly local riding but did parts of WA, Idaho and Montana this summer, and LOVED it as well.
And yes, have been shovelling snow as well.
Bo: Yeh, THAT's the answer, move and store her to the warm, and avoid the cold entirely. Hope you get some fun miles during winter visits to see Mistress!!.
Hoping to trailer south in Jan or Feb, either AZ or San Diego area. for a couple of weeks (hopefully)
Yep, I get 3 extra months of ridin that way.
If you go to AZ in Jan/Feb riding at the lower elevations is great but you may need to plan the higher ones with the weather. Have fun.
Same here. Passed 5 years I've been going into the rockies for a trip, this year will be the first time on my Vegas. Should be a little more comfortable than the sport bike. Can't freaking wait!!!
Coming up for a family reunion with my side of the family that live in Alberta. We were there 6 years ago also drove across from Seattle, WA. with the family. It was the most beautiful drive ever. They live in Whitecourt,Edson, and in that general area. I have never ridden that far but with the new bike think I can make it. Taking 10 days for the round trip. Looking forward to it.
Should be doable, especially at that time of the year with the longer daylight. Let us know if and when that firms up. 100th Anniversary of the Calgary Stampede, IF you could work that in, it should be special with all the planning they're doing for the Centennial year.
I'm in Edson. I just bought a 2011 Crossroads (like, 4 days ago!) and can't wait for spring! My gf and I are already planning trips to the mountains and maybe Vancouver this summer.
I went, the show was very good.
The prices of the Harleys has dropped to compete with Victorys at the show I noticed. Full dress road king $21,000 Canadian.
I am in Calgary.Just picked up a 2011 Cross Country at the end of last summer.....I am very happy with it......coming off a zx14 was a little different,but glad i made the purchase.
Oops! I was just checking the website and the Salmon Arm Stomp was cancelled last year. There's no word on whether an event will be held this year either. My brother has gone there before and he said it was a good time. Oh, well...
I'm in Red Deer, two mins off the hwy. If you ever need a break from the #2 pop in. I'm gonna get the Vegas onto Van isle this summer, can't wait for the hwy to Tofino.
Someone has to organize an AB ride is all. It's tough when everyone is busy with work and family. I propose A weekly or bi weekly ride, that way it will go for sure, if you can make it great, if not, maybe next time. Maybe alternate out of Calgary and Edmonchuck. Just some thoughts, what do you tink?
The Victory Riders Calgary http://www.victoryriderscalgary.com/ try to do that in the summer. I just went to one of their mtgs last month and besides the weekly rides, they were planning a few weekend ones.
I'm open for a ride to somewhere central once in awhile as well.
