Queen Victoria is resting for the summer
It seems really weird as many of you are just taking your bikes out of winter storage but I cleaned and prepared my bike for her summer hibernation today. I live in Palm Desert in the winter and Vancouver BC in the summer so I am going home to Vancouver this weekend.
It has been a great riding season for me. I replaced my Triumph Thunderbird 1700 with a 2013 XR in November and have enjoyed the 9000 miles I have done on her. The XR is a great touring bike and very comfortable and practical but I miss the grunt of my TBird a lot and have to connect with Lloyd or Rylan next winter to get the cams done.
Wanda the Honda (2007 VTX1300R) is waiting for me in Vancouver and there is something about the simplicity and bullet proof reliability that I really enjoy about the Honda. I have been thinking about an upgrade but she is really great bang for the buck and I can't think of what I would get other than another Thunderbird.
I wish everyone on this Board a safe and happy summer riding season. i will be checking in from time to time for the latest news and gossip
