Yes sir..... I had the bug bad, and just had to get out. The road was good, a bit of wet here and there and lots of dust. But I just stayed in town. It was good to feel the power, the wind and cool mountain air....

As "Fast Eddy Felson" said ..... "I'm back!"

Don, one of the moderators ...... well, his wife passed away last night. He has a thread in Off Topic if you don’t go there. Maybe pop him a line.

Default Easter Egg hunt....

...My crew works pretty hard. So one of the things I do is add a fourth day off to all three day weekends. This gives them all something to look forward to. Of course, I include myself into the time off, so it is not completely altruistic...lol.... Anyway, that is three weekends from now, and I am thinking on going on a Easter egg hunt. A four day rounder on the eGlide. Of course it will be weather dependent. Here's a route. Cranbrook to Missoula, to Nelson, to Revelstoke and back home. There is only one Mountain Pass, and if it goes for a crap, I can find a way around that. It will be earliest in the year ever for me for a four day ride.

Because I have to stay close to home for the next few years, I considered selling the M8, and just riding the Pan..... but I changed my mind, because I would never even consider this ride on the '52.

Hey, MtGriz, hid an egg in a bar somewhere in SandPoint, and lets go find it.....

Sounds like a good ride hope the weather cooperates for you. I think you've made the right decision in keeping the M8.

Out and about on a sunny Saturday.....

The forecast for tomorrow is sunny all day, and about 40F, so I am going for a ride..... do what I call the Wasa/Pekams lake loop. I will have the electrics and longs on, but it should be a good day for a ride. Been waiting all winter for this. It is about a three hour or so ride, with a stop at the Bull River Inn for lunch.



Ice in the shade still....

My best guess would be a month from now, both bikes under modifications, upgrades and maintenance! $$$$$
