I went out for another ride today. The GS a smooth ride, i like my new bike.

yep - Canadian too!
But in Edmonton where there is now a lot of snow

.
A month ago I was out riding in beautiful 10 degree weather on February 5th. Never thought that would ever happen! The weather has been really weird this winter - heck, they're even now getting tornados in the southern U.S. - what the heck is going on?

A good idea: go to timmie's for a butter caramel and just ponder things. (they're good!)
counting da days...

Waterloo, Ontario here.

I get my ride back from the dealer on Saturday. It's in getting a new battery, new rear tire, and some assorted tuning.

Come summer I'm hitting a different Tim Horton's every Saturday morning

Well first let me say welcome to GStwin. It's good to hear that there are some Canadians around here.

A fellow K-W rider!!! Welcome

We will have to get a K-W ride going when the weather is a little warmer. There are a few riders in the area and we tried to organize a ride last year, but only 2 of us showed up... maybe this year will be better.

Fredericton NB here. Just bought an 05 GS500F with 5 kms on it.

Really? I didn't get a chance to go, but I heard it was really good in terms of product, and it was better than January because they had manufacture booths with the new bikes.

the one in january is a bigger show, if i recall correctly admission is cheaper than the national show, and the parking is free.

the national show is probably 1/4 surplus misc. motorcycle cruiser parts 1/4 used motorcycles 1/4 retail and 1/4 motorcycle clubs and other organizations.. it was packed... think standing pit @ a concert packed... and i went pretty early in the day too.

the international show in january was much less crowded be becuase its not the 'beginning to motorcycle season show' and the deals are better (at least that's what i saw) this show definately had more motorcycle apparel retailers, compared to the more motorcycle parts retail focus of the national show.

then.. theres the other show, i think it was in november? maybe december? maybe even as far back as october where they had all of the manufacturers at the convention center downtown. that show was alright, i prefer it to the old international show where they used to have the new bikes... cleaner, less shady feeling, no one is selling anything, it was nice.

Its slowing getting warmer - provided you stay away from the lakefront.

Anyone in GTA want to go for a ride on the backroads?

groff22 · April 09, 2006, 07:18:13 PM

I'd go... if only wasn't 1000k east. today was pretty much the first day i've had off work where it hasn't rained; so I managed to get the GS officially prepped for the new season.
